| - I'm very sad writing this updated review and knocking off two stars, especially after my tremendous visits last year.
I went to Bodega once again this year for Winterlicious, and boy was I disappointed. The blue crab cakes that had me going back again and again last year at Summerlicious were so small this year, and so underwhelming compared to before. What came was ONE two-bite cake with a dollop of mayo and some tomatoes. Last year the appetizer was TWO full sized cakes, stacked with mayo and tomatoes, and made for an excellent starter.
I had the duck confit & cassoulet for my entree, and the duck was so soggy I had to remove and throw out the skin (which when crispy is the best part??). The white bean cassoulet was tasty, but was overly salty so I had to down about 3 glasses of water after eating half a serving.
The pecan tart I had for dessert was good, but again the portion was very very small (probably 1/16th of the entire tart).
Overall, Bodega's prix fixe quality has gone down significantly. It no longer feels (tastes) like a good deal, nor do I have any desire to return and eat salty, tiny portions of food.
