Bodega Tapas, Wine, and Rum

Bodega was the perfect date night spot. From the moment we walked in, the service, atmosphere, and food were absolutely phenomenal. The space is romantic, warm, and cozy… intimate without feeling cramped and honestly, it felt like we weren’t even in Wake Forest anymore. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You can tell so much thought goes into the menu, from the tapas to dessert. The cocktails were just as impressive and paired perfectly with the food. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable without being overbearing, which really elevated the entire experience. It’s one of those places where you can slow down, enjoy the moment, and actually feel present. If you’re looking for an elevated, intimate dining experience whether for date night

New to the area so decided to try this place out. Was not disappointed. Great for a date night. Food was delicious. Lamb meatballs were my favorite!

Outstanding bar service. Great tasting drinks, and food. We went on a Friday night on White Street event, so it was a bit crowded. We found some seats at the bar. The bartender was outstanding. She was very friendly and helpful in finding the right drinks for our tastes. Four star rating is for their prices. A bit high for their food and drinks.

The Burratatouille was nothing short of a masterpiece. Creamy, fresh burrata paired with perfectly roasted vegetables, it was vibrant, rich, and comforting all at once. The tuna was another standout, delicate yet bursting with flavor, executed with absolute precision. And then came the surprising star: the broccoli vinaigrette. Who knew broccoli could be elevated to that level? Crisp, perfectly charred, and kissed with a tangy vinaigrette, it was easily one of the best vegetab

I really enjoyed this restaurant... Definitely coming back to try some more dishes! Service was great, attentive and friendly and we were a large party and our waiter was awesome! Standouts - Serrano Ham was sliced paper thin, almost melts on the tongue; the French Onion was rich and thick and the sherry added a kick; the Cauliflower was amazing with a sweet/spicy heat. While these were standouts, everyone was super happy!
