Bodega 1830 in Clonmel

Would be a regular visitor to bodega and always thought of it as a special occasion style restaurant. Went back today to celebrate an anniversary and from the moment we walked in, it was completely off. We were left waiting at the front in what looked like an empty restaurant. Wasn’t asked for our names and brought to a table. I specifically mentioned in the booking it was an anniversary but there was no mention of this throughout the experience. Food, which I might add has always been amazing was unfortunately extremely poor. Patatas bravas were an extra €6 and was once a full bowl of potato’s with chorizo and cheese etc however now they are plain? And only maybe 10 or 11 small cubes of potatoes. The rest of the food came out luke warm and some extremely greasy. The tenders came out with barely any sauce and felt like they’ve been sitting under a hot lamp for a while. The manager mentioned the menu was new and if I’m extremely honest, a step down. I must mention the manager himself was and always has been a pleasure to dine with, however he worked alone. No other staff. This might have a knock on affect with the dining experience and something they should really look at as there was already 6 tables of 2-4 people each. Hope someone from bodega reads this and can implement some changes to avoid another business suffering in clonmel, as I’ve always said this is or was a great place to dine.

Amazing restaurant. Food was excellent, great selection of tapas food. Bueatiful decor. Great atmosphere. Special deals very reasonably priced. Good wine &: cocktail list. Extremely attentive & friendly staff, can't wait to go back

Excellent food and lovely service! We had the sharing menu. Outstanding decor, very stylishly furnished. Good atmosphere, laid back. Shame that they only open from Thursdays!

Great place to eat lovely atmosphere and staff. They have a great range of gluten free options.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and the team are fantastic, from the welcoming bottle of Prosecco to the farewell Lemon cello, it was a great evening and experience. Thanks Bogdan

Absolutely delicious food. 5 tapas for 50 euros is absolutely worth it. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The service was pretty good too. Highly recommended

Very nice food and excellent service
