"November 7, 2011 Halloween bonfire night are traditionally associated with being a whole lot of fun for kids. For me, however, it’s the perfect excuse for some food indulgence (like I need an excuse… Although I have been known to dress up in some weird and wonderful costumes and go out on the hunt for sweeties, this year my Halloween was a much more grown up affair as I celebrated Dia De Los Muertos with my good friend Sarah at Birmingham’s own little slice of South America, Bodega . Their event included a pop-up shop, a special cocktail and a healthy dose of delicious food. Whenever I frequent Bodega (and it happens a lot it takes me an age to decide what to eat. Do I play it safe with a tried and tested Burrito or do I dare try something new? This time, however, greed got the better of both of us, as we opted for the Bodega Selection platter with a selection of some of their best dishes, like Pork Carnitas Tacos, Patatas Bravas, Frijoles, Nachos, Albondigas Cubanas and Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas. Plus we got a side of sweet potato fries! I tucked into the Albondigas Cubanas first of all, tender and juicy beef meatballs in a deliciously rich red wine and tomato sauce, which were a flavour explosion in the mouth. Definitely gives Italian meatballs a run for their money! The patatas bravas in the same sauce were equally as impressive. Next up I tucked into the quesadillas which had the tiniest hint of spice, delicious flavour and stayed crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just the right amount of cheese complimented the chicken and made the quesadillas surprisingly light. The nachos were a surefire winner, smothered in tomato salsa, fresh guacamole and sour cream topped with melted cheese. You can’t go wrong with that combination and these were definitely right. The Pork Carnitas Tacos were also really good, with succulent, spicy shredded pork in a soft shell taco. The biggest surprise for me though, were the Frijoles. Call me uncultured, but on paper"

"We booked a table for on a Saturday evening for three people, When we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty bar two tables upstairs. We were seated and left with menus for The very young waitress came and took our orders. Our drinks...were a pint, a orange squash and one cocktail. We waited for these and received nothing, our first bits of food arrived before our drinks. When the food arrived we had no cutlery and no plates so we asked for these, the attitude on the server was as though we had asked for his life. How dare we enter a restaurant and want cutlery and plates to eat off. We also asked for our drinks( remember that really difficult order we placed, beer , squash and a cocktail) Eventually our drinks turned up but still no plates or cutlery so the dishes that had arrived where slowly going cold on our table whilst we stared at them wishing we could eat them. When a different waiter passed by we asked him for plates and cutlery and within seconds he brought them along with our other dishes. The first dishes were cold by this time so we asked for them to be reheated. Again we were faced with attitude and rudeness by the server (Andrew i think he was called) How dare we ask for our food to be hot or at least warm enough to eat. Andrew offered to reheat the dishes and return, he never did. We ate the few dishes we were left with which were hot enough and then left, as we went downstairs to pay we were faced with a bill featuring several of the dishes we hadn't received and being charged full price for the ones we had and had had to return due to being cold. Andrew had told us we could have the bill half price due to the shocking service and attitude he showed and yet the bill did not reflect this. We eventually came to an agreement on the bill and left. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING SERVICE. There was a table of who waited about just for drinks and then decided to leave, a couple behind us who hadn't even had a drinks order taken after an hour and a poor couple who were just about to sit when we left. We warned them not to bother, Unless they fancied a very long night. We will not be back and i warn anyone who does visit, take a book and maybe even your PJs and a change of clothes, your in for a long wait."

"princes square houses numerous restaurants and another one has just the party above. which was between cranachan and zizzi earlier a small coffee shop, hidden behind it a lot of space. the man behind barca cranachan has gone all Americans on us and ny american grill is the result. the manager, leanne, explained how much research and preparation went into each element – from the selection of cocktails to the design of the restaurant. the big train for me is that they have a special jospur grill that was cooked food to 700 degrees to give a carburized taste without making anything bone dry. I have to admit that I managed to see burger in the minute, so was glad to open the menu and find (in addition to the burger) that we had been invited to get a proper food. that said, we started with the NY plate for two consisting of calamari, chicken wings, crabs and cheese wobble bonbons. the wings were chosen for our favorite – tasty without too thick sauce. I enjoyed the crab bites and I will be back to order them again and the bonbons made me feel cheeky, not exactly the healthiest things in the world (but oh so delicious). calamari needed a bit for my taste in terms of cooking time and seasoned, but without doubt they will perfect this in the time. I made an epic mistake at this place – I ordered a milkshake. I know I'm too excited and ordered most of the drink there before I eat my main course. I didn't have a real shake so long that I had to have it right away. When it arrived, it was a little weak on the earth's side, but as soon as I mentioned it to a worker, they pushed it away and made it new for me. after I was in the night before I know that they have to iron this kink, but I was impressed by how ready they were to make the dinge right for all. then there were ribs, because what is the dinner at an American joint without ripp? when we started eating, they seem a bit overdue, but actually they were cooked in the middle perfectly. they are served with mais and their own renovated koleslaw, but we ordered riders because it seemed strange not to have them. we both wanted steak, I had no doubt. I am a happy lady to have an understanding husband who will share all his food with me so I can write about it. ribeye has in the rule the sibling of the fat we are looking for without costing fat, so we went for the 10oz, but they can also get a 14oz. that was when the Jospur grill came in fruit. it was juicy and tasty (I think they would be a kind of precooking marinade on or something) and just all round delicious. the water circles, tomaten and pommes were ridicule-on and the pfeffer sauce we had chosen was a little over pfeffer, but excess of requirements anyway. on the other side called me the cocktail list and served as a fine sweet tasty bite. our waiter was eager to help ask what kind of cocktails I like, and thought I like a liberty rose. think they parma violet with a noble edge and some roses throw it, mmm!Cocktail wise herr s chooses in the rule an old fashion or a caipirinha and whisky won on this day. instead of being served only over ice, the cocktail came in a small crug on ice with the glass. someone at the table loved this idea and shows since humans. there were a few dings that need to be adapted, but overall we left with a really positive opinion of ny american grill. it will be convenient for post-shopping food and pre all cocktails. next time I feel mischievous and ready for some American dug I will be in, perhaps for the pre-theater menu.N.B - we got our food for half price as part of a VIP night. I was not obliged to write about the night, and this supplement contains my honest opinions."

"What a shame that, reading back through TA reviews, one member of staff is immediately identifiable due to consistently poor reviews. Why is this person employed in hospitality when there is nothing remotely hospitable about her? Her specialty seems to be being rude to customers and doing as little work as possible, entertaining the local drinkers and allowing her colleagues to carry her. Like others, our visit was also accompanied by eye rolling, slapping cutlery on the table, and please do not have the temerity to give negative feedback about the food! One meal out of four, the mussels, were cold. I suggested that this may be due to the soup plate they were served on, which had a wide rim on which the majority of the mussels were placed, rather than in the sauce. This clearly totally upset the person who I had taken to be the manager but who described herself as 'just bar staff '. We were told that we had been trouble since we arrived 3 over 65 's and an 80+ year old in a mobility scooter. If she thinks we 're trouble, she needs to work in London on a Saturday night!! The way in which we caused trouble was by asking for mash with the steak pie but making no fuss when this wasn 't available, asking for a spoon for the mussels, and pointing out that a meal was cold. As the place was practically empty (understandably!! we had moved the chairs ourselves to make room for the mobility scooter. We were also told that they never get complaints. Really?? Do they read their TA reviews? In June 2023 someone else made the same complaint about the mussels, so this problem could have been resolved months ago. This particular member of staff has numerous complaints about her poor attitude. I can only assume that this business owner would be happy for their business to fail, because if this were my enterprise, this staff member would be out of the door! Will we go back? No chance! There are far better places to eat, both in quality of food and most definitely in quality of service. And no, we 're not tourists as our family has lived in Tenby for 50+ years (full time, not second home owners , about as long as this 'bar staff ' has been alive. Just a reminder it 's the tourists who keep you going, and if they are not welcome, put up a sign to that effect so they can take their money elsewhere! We were actually there for a meal following our mothers funeral, so no thanks to this harridan for making this a memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. There are two nice members of staff a young man who we have encountered before and is very pleasant and offered to move the chairs, and a new part time waitress called Darcy who tried to smooth things over. However, no matter how nice they are, we won 't be coming back."
