Ok so my wife and I went last night and I have to say I was a little disappointed. The staff seemed a little unorganized and stressed out. It took 15 mins to get my Dirty Martini, and then our plates started arriving 1-2 at a time about 5-10 mins apart. Our server didn't come back to check on us until we were almost completely finished and then he realised that he didn't even bring us one of our plates and waited until the end of the meal to tell us they were out of it.
It was extremely loud (music) and there was an annoying sex and the city party going on. The hosts of that party were asking people seated at tables to fill out there trivia quiz thing and I felt a little bothered that I went to eat somewhere and I had complete strangers interrupting our dinner to fill out some quiz???!!!
As for the food, here is what we had and what we thought:

Mesculan Salad- Standard

Couscous Salad- Standard

Red pepper bruschetta- Not impressed

Olives- EXCELLENT

Capresse- Pretty good if you picked the giant excess basil stems off of it.

Hummus- I loved it, my wife who is a vegetarian thought it was ok

Shrimp Bisque- Tasted like burnt campbell's tomato soup.

Prices were reasonable.

Just my thoughts feel free to try and enjoy yourself. I am sure once all of the kinks are worked out it will be a fine spot to dine. The decor was beautiful.

Very Happy
A diverse spot. I have had high end business dinners, family time, romantic time with my girlfriend and also reunions with my college pals. I don't see getting tired of this place easily since they offer a variety of food, drink, music and environments (lounge, bar and tables, waterfall, etc). expect a change of moods too....depending on the hour...early on they are loungy and jazzy, while later they lower the lights and pick up the volume and energy in their music...very excited to see this come to the area, very impressed, for a new place they are already doing a great job! Tapas...what a great idea. Oh, and the Sex and the City party...my girlfriend came home raving about it- keep it up!

I passed Bodega by for a good while. I finally decided to satiate my curiosity, and check it out. I walked in and was immediately impressed w/ the decor. I didn't get the whole light on wine, stored right side up, but the whole look was tastefully done. Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised of the polite and friendly demeanor of the bartender. It was so refreshing, coming from sushi rock (only b/c it was half off, Pacific East blows them out of the water), where you can cut the pretension with a knife. Wannabe hollywoods, who think Nordstrom is the new black. I didn't eat there, but I read half the novel on martinis they were prepared to make, while sipping a delicious draught (which slips my mind, b/c I was popping xanax).
Positives: Staff was very friendly (Kara), large martini selection, large beer selection, great aesthetics, and no popped collars. Negatives: no dj, and I think the staff's uniforms could be more hip. Nonetheless, I will be back.
Sex and the City Party, haha, minus the middle aged whores.
