An open love letter to the De La Torre's & La Bodega fam

Last night I was STARVING, yet feeling extravagant, so I told Mr. Credit Card to take me on a dinner date to La Bodega.

I had me the grilled calamari (I'd have gotten lamb, too, but my tax refund hasn't come yet) that's been haunting my dreams for WEEKS now.

it is SO simple, and yet so FANTASTIC.

not that I'd expect anything less.

I seriously need to find a way to get back into the habit of stopping by there at least once a month.

Maggie & Miguel, you guys rock my face off.

that is all.

I've always been a huge fan of De La Torres and La Bodega. Great food.

We have GC's for La Bodega, and have never been. Any recommendations for particular dishes? We are trying to do the relatively low carb thing for now (for health reasons), so that is also a consideration. TIA!!!

I am a long time De La Torres and La Bodega fan, but I haven't been in a long time due to my relocation. I've never had anything there that I did not enjoy very much. My favorites are the lamb and paella negra. It's unfortunate that this fine restaurant does not get more credit for staying the course and making very traditional Spanish cuisine without ever compromising.

Kim, You're in luck because la bodega has small plates of fabulous dishes that change so you can't go wrong. Both la bodega and de la torres are so fantastic...the mojitos and pomegranate (sp?) martinis are family favorites too.
