La Bodega

Amazing food, atmosphere, and staff. Please make sure to reserve before going; you can do it by either calling or texting. The number is in the contact section. They are a bit understaffed, so be patient because they are super nice, and you won't even notice the wait because the food and atmosphere are amazing. I will 100% be back.

Came in on a walk in first time Everyone was so nice here The owner was so friendly, the bar tender was nice he was very busy made the best Drink I've ever had The Passion fruit the Flavors are so unbelievable.

I Highy recommend this restaurant if ur looking for a great place to eat and drink. They keep everything Clean and tidy I will definitely be back here.

Love this place. Food is amazing but I have never made reservations so I always feel less welcomed by the staff though once we're sitting the experience is good. It's a small space so it may be stressful for them however the food makes up for any wait. The cocktails are amazing...I'm in love with the passion fruit with the foam that grows in your glass 😂

Been wanting to try this place. Came on a Friday night without reservations and we got lucky. Very cool concept. There are 2 sides to the restaurant. The bar side is more open, the camper side has lower ceilings and can get very loud. But once inside, you do not feel like you're in Watertown. They are short on staff (as is most places), so be patient. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Despite being busy, he kept a smile on his face. We were torn between the meat sampler plate and the whole duck. But then realized the duck needs to be ordered at least 48 hours in advance. But our server told us they had 1 reservation of the duck canceled so we got lucky! We ordered it right away. It takes about 30-40 minutes to prepare. They de- bone it as well. The skin was perfectly crisp and the meat was very tender and not dry. The whole duck can serve 3-4 people. The corn soup was surprisingly very flavorful and light. The wood grilled octopus was light, flavorful and not too chewy. The wild mushrooms had a variety of mushrooms and was a bit salty. The basque cheesecake was different than the standard. Not what we expected, wasn't too heavy and not too sweet. Will definitely be back and try other things on the menu.

The atmosphere is definitely what makes this place so special! Very inviting and calming. I made a reservation over the phone and it was the smoothest process I've ever had. Realized later that it was the owner that picked up the phone and she was very kind and thoughtful - shows she truly cares about the people that come in. I went there for Valentine's Day so it was a little hectic and service took a little too long, but the owner was very welcoming and made us feel like we were part of the family by being very attentive to our needs. Great selection of wines and beverages. 🍸 🧉 The mussels are amazing! Recommended 👌
