Brighton Bodega

“Drinks within 5 minutes, food within 10. Fabulous ambiance, amazing flavors.”

Great food and a cool, moody atmosphere, but the hospitality is lacking. The Nashville fried chicken bao and pork belly nuggets were excellent, though the burrata desperately needed finishing salt. It feels like a spot that prioritizes the "vibe" and the Instagrammable plating over technical service standards. Go for the small plates and the drinks, but expect a casual, hands-off approach to hospitality.

I want to start by highlighting the positive aspects of this Irish restaurant that specializes in fusion cuisine. The ambiance is nice and welcoming, and the staff is attentive and friendly. However, the food did not meet my expectations. We ordered duck-fat fries, mussels, lo mein, and peanut butter chocolate mousse. The Nashville fries were overly spicy, and the mussels were unseasoned, with the addition of bacon being quite off-putting. The lo mein was probably the best dish we tried, but the amount of oil used was overwhelming. The dessert was decent, but overall, the fusion element misse

The food was absolutely delicious - would definitely recommend the creme brulee and the rosemary duck fat fries. But I came on here to review our server Stephanie. She was an absolute angel, so friendly and helpful and just a wonderful person - thank you so much Stephanie! Everyone else we spoke to was equally bubbly and helpful and the vibes were just really good. Service was also super fast. Will deffo be returning! Thank you

This was my first time visiting Brighton Bodega , my friend brought me for lunch. We walked in and sat at the bar. They do offer outdoor seating which is really nice too ! Drinks were good , I didn’t choose anything from the menu I had the bar tender just make me something and it turned out really good. The fried cauliflower was crispy, crunchy and saucy. 10/10 shrimp ceviche 10 out of 10 and the lobster rolls were so juicy buttery. The bread was toasted and buttery as well so damn good!
