    Our server Bobbi was outstanding! Food was excellent, except for the desert (Irish Pudding?) which was off-the-charts spectacular!

    I have never been disappointed by a meal at Brighton Bodega. We had a variety of oysters (delivered quickly with the best mignonette I've ever had), the burrata which is the perfect blend of savory and salty with sweet figs and I continue to dream of this perfect combination, the seafood ciappino which was cooked to perfection in a broth we wanted to drink up, and topped it off with the Irish Toffee Pudding with Honeycomb gelato. The food is amazing every time, but the spectacular service is what makes Brighton Bodega really shine. Roisin is simply the best server I've ever had - she made great recommendations, made us laugh out loud, and took perfect care of us. This is my favorite restaurant in Boston and it's confirmed every time we're here!

    Had an amazing first experience dining here. Chose it after seeing reviews looking for a place to meet two of my best mom-friends after dropping kids at The Roadrunner Boston for a concert. The food was amazing and our server was SO fun!!! Suspect she makes everyone feel like a VIP but we loved that she was our server first go around. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all the dishes and gave us great advice on what to try and how much to start with. There wasn't one dish we didn't LOVE - food is that amazing. Can't forget the cocktails, wine and dessert offerings/recommendations that were creative and delish! Atmosphere is great. We love going to a place that is fun and lively but where we can still catch up and laugh as we can be a little loud ourselves :). Love that the demographic was a mix of ages. A place where everyone feels welcome. Love the open kitchen concept and the rustic yet modern design of the restaurant. We'll be back!

    We've been here several times now and it doesn't disappoint. If you don't like a lot of heat in your food then it can be hard to find the right dish but they'll work with you.
