General Manager Patrice Caron said, "Bodega is a truly well-rounded experience. From the initial greeting to the final goodbye, ALL of the details matter in between. People come here to disengage from the normalcies of society and truly be themselves. It is my job to make them feel at home."
Bodega Bar and Kitchen will be headed up in the kitchen by Executive Chef Shain Wancio. A Bucks County native with deep ties to the Philly food scene.
The chef's all-scratch fare is going to feature a contemporary Latin inspired menu, drawing from both Middle Eastern and Asian influences. The menu will include salads, tapas, entrees, specialty sandwiches, and deserts along with daily and weekly specials.
