First time here, love the vibe and the dishes. The menu seems interesting and updating all the time. The server guy was nice and friendly. Definitely an Asian style size, larger than your normal "tapas". We were couple date night, all those dishes made us super full. Will come back for sure.
Food is great! The steam buns are 10/10, my favorite is the Korean Friend Cauliflower Buns. The Mussels were also incredible.
Brighton Bodega is our go to. The menu changes often and it is extensive meaning a long list of carefully crafted choices. The food is expertly done and always delicious. The menu is thoughtful. Recognizable food with a twist and very creative. Nice cocktails, delicious wine. Lots of interesting beer. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. You can share or just order your own meal. The duck bao is something we always start with, fish a favorite but this chef does everything well. His steak is to die for. We’ve brought many friends here.
I've been here a few times now, and it's been excellent every time. The service is always great and the food comes out so quickly. They have a changing menu. I think weekly? or monthly? But it's been good every time. Off of this weeks menu, we had Nashville chicken baos, pesto gnocchi, beef birria tacos, banana cream pie, and lava cake. Everything came out great. I wish they put a bit more beef in the tacos, but otherwise, pretty awesome. Again, the person who waited on us was excellent. Great experience all around. Their sister restaurant is Devlin's. The food there is just as great and next door if this place has a wait.
I came for the first time tonight, it’s beautiful inside and the food is incredible Mussels, Nashville chicken buns, and the salted caramel tart were too notch. Our server Leah was amazing! Cannot recommend enough.
I had an amazing dinner at Bodega Brighton this past Saturday night. We started with the Campari tomato, local burrata, and an artisan cheese charcuterie board, which were all beautifully prepared and exceeded my expectations. Each dish was fresh and flavorful, perfectly complemented by a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The experience was top-notch, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining spot!
My wife and I are huge fans of Brighton Bodega. We love taking friends and family here to experience the best restaurant our neighborhood has to offer. Bodega provides an elevated yet comfortable atmosphere, incredibly creative and delicious menu options, and outstanding service. We have dined here several times, but the most recent experience in December was our most memorable. Our server, Ana, went above and beyond to help us curate our dinner, providing thoughtful suggestions based on dishes we enjoyed in the past and rotating selections that would be tough for us to miss. We love Bodega!
Bodega is always a great time whether it’s with a date or with a group of friends. The plates can all easily be shared and really should be for the best experience. There are some really creative dishes that you won’t find anywhere else that will blow you way. Apart from some staple dishes, my party usually tries at least 1-2 new dishes each visit and with their seasonal menu there’s always excite new things to try. I would definitely recommend multiple visits!
