| - bodega has such romantic, cozy, french antique-y inspired atmosphere. perfect for a romantic candle lit dinner .i've been here twice, first time about 2 years ago and the latest being last weekend.
our first time was pretty good . I dont remember what we had, but i do remember they had an amazing beet salad . im a straightup meat eater and very rarely compliment a salad but this was soooo good . its a lot more memorable than the actual entrees we had . even after 2 years, unforgettable !
when we went back last weekend for lunch, the boy & i had a 3 course meal from the winterlicious menu while his mom had a regular lunch menu .
- for appetizers we had, french onion soup, baked goat's cheese tart and calamari salad . nothing was too outstanding . my calamari salad was a complete meh & bleh . goat cheese tart was pretty good, the pastry was nice & flakey and the cheese was very rich that went pretty well w the pastry .
- for mains we had, grilled steel head trout, cassoulet w duck confit & lamb . my trout was a bit dry and not a lot of flavor . my bf's duck confit was a disaster . it was soooo dry . his mom's lamb, however, was perfectly cooked . it was full of flavor and melted in your mouth .
- for dessert, we had white chocolate mousse cake which was pretty good but i still wouldve prefered mousse cakes from asian bakeries & the banana cake that tasted exactly like how my mom makes them at home . boooooo !
the bill came to a little over $100 for lunch. stuff we ordered from the regular menu was really good (this time & the first time), but i cant say the same for the winterlicious menu .
