We had an amazing meal at Cafe Bodega. Judy was an outstanding server. We started with drinks that were crafted with care by Evan. I would tell you what I had but I can't. We went with the meat and cheese board which was a meal for four by itself. Then the entrees. OMG! Prawns, Steak Frites and the Salmon special were pit together by a chef with top quality understanding. This is a must eat for Albuquerque now!

My taste buds thank me for this restaurant visit, It's a stunning place. The vibe and decor allow you to relax, which I loved. I started off with crab cake, and let's just WOW those flavors are phenomenal (lemon & capers) are my favorite ever. I need this crab cake daily. Hehe! My main course was the lobster, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. It was bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly, i can't wait to go back to indulge again. My friend had the steak and fries that she enjoyed also. The service was great. We had a very knowledgeable server who made recommendations, and it was most appreciated. I definitely recommend this place!!!

Upon arriving for dinner, I was greeted with genuine warmth by the staff—a promising start to the evening. I was seated in the upstairs dining area, which offers a noticeably more refined and comfortable ambiance compared to the downstairs. Service was sharp and informed; my server not only demonstrated a deep knowledge of the menu but also impressed with a custom off-menu cocktail that showcased both creativity and balance. The highlight of the evening was the prawns with linguine in a lemon sauce—a dish that delivered far beyond expectations. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the prawns succulent, and the lemon sauce brought a bright, elegant acidity that tied the elements together beautifully. It’s a plate that lingers in the memory and certainly warrants a return visit to explore more of what the kitchen has to offer.

We stopped into Central Bodega with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and it was such a great choice. The menu is fun and creative, with unique options that make it exciting to try something new. The atmosphere feels classy and elevated without being stuffy — perfect for a special occasion or a night out with friends. Every single thing we ordered tasted amazing and was beautifully presented. It’s definitely on the middle to higher end in terms of price, but you’re paying for the full experience — the ambiance, the quality, and the flavors. Overall, it’s absolutely worth trying if you’re looking for somewhere memorable to celebrate or enjoy a great meal.

Best handcrafted cocktails I’ve ever had. Service was great! Atmosphere and music was great. Happy to say this is my new favorite spot for a handcrafted cocktail! I recommend the Lime Lush cocktail! 10/10

Last-minute anniversary reservation that totally paid off. The service, food, and drinks were excellent—much improved from our previous visit. The wait for a table was brief, and the staff apologized graciously. We went with the bartender’s choice, and it’s probably one of my all-time favorite cocktails. Mariah was awesome—warm, professional, and she even created a couple of spontaneous drinks that wowed us: a standout “random” concoction and an amazing martini. CJ from Mission Winery stopped by and was great as always. I highly recommend the mussels with fries. All in all, a great experience that has us excited to return.

My fiancé and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary tonight at Central Bodega for their Valentines special 5 course meal. We had a wonderful experience! Every dish tasted carefully crafted with great natural flavors. 9/10 experience overall and we definitely can’t wait to go back. 😁
