MARCOS SAYS - Two and a half stars. Right on the fence. Big hits and big misses.
MARCOS' REVIEW: Jenn took me here for Father's Day 2013. Food was OK, but a lot of work is needed to make it a more even experience.
Grilled Calamari Salad - $10 - was too peppery! And I like pepper, but this was too much
Salmon Gravlax Cured in House - $11 - Good gravlax, but the potato pancake is horrible ! The portion of fish is too small
Lamb Patties with scrambled eggs - Don't remember the price, I think $14 - Sides are good, 2 scrambled eggs are nothing to write home about, lamb patties are good and tasty and juicy but too small...
Quiche du Jour - $13 - Guys, this came from the freezer, didn't it?? It is edible. Nice side salad.
Grilled Calf's Liver - $14 - The liver is OK, the side vegetables were very good.
Mojito for $11 - Damn good mojito, but way too small. Still, when it is this good I don't feel dupped
Other cocktail for $10 - terrible value, it was just fruit juice and rum, it also came in way too small glass
Service was the biggest miss. Serving staff is amateur at best. Lazy, never refilled the water, forgot about us in a semi-empty restaurant. Never came back with our requests (extra fork, extra plate). We were in the patio, I had to go inside to find the waitress and ask for the bill. Come to Bodega when you have time to burn, because it just may take forever to eat here.
Too many other great places in this same street, competition is brutal, I'm not sure if Bodega can keep this pace forever.
