Hard to hear across the table. Food was ok. Onion rings were overcooked for my liking and the meat in the Philly and the Au Jus needed a lot more seasoning.

They were still busy but not busy to where you felt overwhelmed and couldn't have a conversation without yelling. If you are on the fence on wanting an appetizer, I would suggest the Kung Pao Calamari. It was very good! Just the right amount of sweat heat! The glazed salmon was very good. The apple shallot glaze was amazing and you could taste it with every bite. The prime rib was delicious and melted in your mouth with every bite! The lobster tail was good but I personally could have done with a little more flavor. To end the meal we decided to split the salted Carmel gelato and it was the perfect way to end our meal.

Food service and ambience were top shelf. The experience was one that made our New Year's Eve.read more

The tacos were stuffed with meat and cheese and the tortilla was nice and crispy - highly recommend!! My husband said the chimichangas were good and that the beef had a nice hint of lime to it that made it extra tasty. Service was friendly, food came out fast. Good chips and salsa for the table. Chips were warm and crispy. The restaurant itself is small, but there was plenty of seating when we got there. Be prepared to be close to other tables since it's a small space. The kitchen is across the hall. They had a small patio outside that I would like to see get expanded to the parking lot since it was pretty tight to be just on the sidewalk next to the building. Overall, will be recommending this place and coming back!

Connor answered all of our questions about the menu, and when we inquired about a specific bottle of wine, he brought it to our table so we could take a closer look. I appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile. The food was excellent. We started with the Parker House rolls, which I will not soon forget. I only wish I could have taken a dozen home with me! We also shared the Caesar salad. For our entrées, we had the roast chicken and the beef tenderloin, both of which were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sadly, we didn't have room for dessert, but the Bananas Foster our neighboring table was enjoying looked spectacular. Perhaps next time I'll save room. The only downside is that it does get quite loud as the restaurant gets busy. On my next trip to the Minneapolis area, I'll certainly be back.

Stopped by for a friend's birthday dinner and was excited to check it out. The place is nice and clean. Was greeted by a staff member right away in front and was directed to my friend's table fast. The drink round started...I was recommended the lavender haze and went for it. It was light and fruity which I like. We had ordered crispy calamari, steam mussels, lobster pappardelle, and chilean sea bass to share. Crispy calamari - cornmeal & parmesan crusted, buttermilk, harissa, nam pla, spicy mayo. This was crispy and delicious. The nam pla was like the Vietnamese fish sauce and was tasty. Steamed mussels - white wine, garlic butter were delicious. The bread was soft and the seasoning on the bread was really good. Dipped that in the nam pla sauce which made it a yummy combo too. Lobster pappardelle - brown butter, calabrian chili, basil flavors were delightful. Good chunks of lobsters mixed into the pasta. Chilean Sea Bass - ginger coconut sauce, sweet & sour cucumbers, kaiware. This was super delicious. I like the ginger coconut sauce over the sea bass. I wanted more. I'll be back for sure! The birthday dessert with light was fun to watch/experience! I wanted to give a shout out to our server Chris and all staff members giving us superb service! They always checked in to see if everything was ok or if anything else's was needed and thanked us. That's how you do service! AWESOME service Boketto team! Greatly appreciate it!

I love French dips and had to try it here. The menu said that it was "piled high" which is why I got the sandwich. It was definitely a huge disappointment to see that piled high meant literally only two slices of roast beef. I didn't complain but I was really bummed. The highlights were the chicken cordon Bleu balls with ranch and the portobello mushroom bites with marinara. They were to die for. So good especially the Bleu bites. Lastly. I tried the catfish because I love catfish. These fingers were soo overly greasy I had to pick a lot of the breeding off which left me to realize there's barely any fish in there. Overall not bad. I'd try other options if I was passing through the area again. I'd definitely get the Bleu bites again. The waitress was also very friendly and made the experience pleasant.

My experience was with a group of adventurous world travelers with catholic tastes in food. We all…read morelooked forward to a great dinner at the Twin Cities' first tapas restaurant. It was not great. The problem? I think it was because owner/chef Rene Ruiz Olivar was acting as waiter, not chef. We gave Sr. Ruiz the freedom to choose our tapas, with one exception, the black ink pasta with scallops and shrimp (Tinta Negra) that reviewers have raved about. He said, no problema--he would serve it. Then he must have forgotten because we never got it. The first tapa served, almond-crusted manchego (Almendrado), was plated prettily and was delicious but oh-so-sweet. It was an odd choice for a starter, would have been better as the finale in case nobody ordered dessert. Soon came a lamb tapa (Cordero). The lamb chops' quality was uncertain as the meat was severely overcooked. El Bodegon's langoustines (Gambas al Ajillo) had given every bit of their sea flavor to the sauce, which was magnificent, we all agreed. But where were the dish's promised mussels, the rice? One shared plate, a beef tenderloin tapa (Carne Brava), had apparently lingered too long in the kitchen--the meat was nearly cold. I adore papas bravas (Patatas Bravas). I must have had the dish a dozen times or more during my last trip to Spain, in 2017, when I visited friends who live in Ronda. During my six-week stay, we toured Andalucia, staying at hotels in large cities and visiting small towns. I also spent time sola in Madrid and Barcelona. Unlike in Spain, El Bodegon's potatoes were diced to death. Never in Spain have I ever had patatas bravas that were not substantial in size. All in all, I found the vegetables accompanying the tapas unrecognizable except for the tiny Brussels sprouts. The rest seemed chopped up or stirred to pieces in the pan. Some of my friends had churros for their dessert. They deemed them appropriately hot and tasty. My dessert was cheesecake torte, decked out with a candle as it was my 90th birthday. The torte was a gold-star winner. It was absolutely delicious, its plating the most successful of the evening. It was so perfect it almost made up for the sub-par tapas that preceded it. One of us had a view of the kitchen from his seat at the table. He saw a man other than the chef/owner doing the cooking. Was he a trainee? Did Sr. Ruiz help with the plating? God knows he didn't have a lot patrons to contend with in his role as waiter. It was a slow weeknight, and there were never more than four tables occupied. I sincerely regret that our time at El Bodegon differs from so many reviewers. Like them, I want to see Sr. Ruiz's little restaurant succeed. He has a hard row to hoe, and I hope a disappointing dinner like ours does not befall anyone else going forward.
