Visited Bodega Underground to celebrate a birthday and had high hopes given the great reviews — and while the food itself was genuinely good, a few things let the experience down.
We ordered five dishes and drinks, but everything arrived at once, which made us rush through the meal just to stop it from getting cold. It took away from the celebration vibe and felt more like a food sprint than a dinner.
What really threw us off though was the staff sweeping the floor with a broom and dustpan literally right in front of us while we were eating. I mean… eating with dust floating around? Not ideal. And to top it off, one of the staff kept glancing over at our table like she was monitoring our bites — kind of uncomfortable when you’re just trying to enjoy your meal.
Didn’t want to make a fuss since it was my birthday, but honestly, for a place with such high ratings, I expected better attention to the dining experience. The food has potential, but the overall vibe and service need some serious work.
Want to visit again if they improve otherwise not.
