Bode Gray's & The Brass Hat

“We have been to Bode Grays many times. The food has always been great. This time we got the cheese bread as a starter. I love the fresh basil in the marinara dipping sauce! We ordered the Waygu Steak and the special- Procuitto wrapped halibut. The halibut was so good- I didn’t feel like the procuitto added anything special to the dish, but the halibut was cooked well and the accompanying veggies and risotto were amazing. We finished with 2 slices of cheesecake- I don’t think you can go wrong. Service was perfect, even with a full house! Grateful to have bode grays as an option in the west metro!”

“We went to Bodie Gray's last night for my wife's birthday. Dinner was absolutely delicious. We ended up getting the wagyu steak and tortellini as entrees. The steak was expertly prepared and incredibly tender. The tortellini was delicious and creamy. My personal tastes (and my wife's) would like a little spice to the tortellini. For the kids we got the meatball pizza which was also delicious. They enjoyed seeing the staff, prepare the pizza and loaded into the oven. For a shareable, we got the duck focaccia which was delicious. Some of the best duck I have ever had. Our server was Tiffany. She was absolutely amazing. She engaged with my wife and kids, and was very personable. Thank you, Tiffany!”

“Absolutely incredible service and delicious food. The smoked duck is out of this world. And the pizza is some of the best I've had. I've had a lot of wood fire pizza, but this came out hot, burnt just the right amount. I got the forager and the mushrooms were crisped, the whipped got cheese was spectacular, and the egg was runny. The roasted Cauliflower was also yummy and the server was so friendly, helpful, cool, and amazing. The dessert is all made in house and the chocolate cake was very moist.”

“Came here for dinner after a beautiful evening exploring Waconia wineries. One of the locals we talked to recommended this place, and for us to try the meatballs over polenta and broccolini. So, we ordered those. I don't usually like meatballs or polenta, but these were very good and made for sharing. Will I be craving either one from now on? No, but I will order it again here. We also had a pizza, which had a great crust and a piccatta which was good, too. The place is gorgeous and has a nice atmosphere. If I were in the area, I'd come back and try their other menu items.”

“Overall, not a great experience with the food at Bode Grays. We started with the SHRIMP SCAMPI which we enjoyed for the most part, shrimp were clean and cooked nicely. The MARGARITA PIZZA was just ok. The dough and crust were fine but half of the pizza didn’t have mozzarella on it and it barely had any basil. We shared the CACIO E PEPE and it was very bad. The sauce had completely separated and it was just a bowl of congealed cheese oil with hardly any pepper. It had gummed up so much you could basically pick up the entire ball of pasta with one fork. We both took a couple bites and had to send it back. We ended on the TIRAMISU which was actually very nice. The mascarpone cream was light and rounded out the coffee flavor nicely. ——— I also want to make sure I mention that the service we had was very good. He was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu. He even comped our dessert because of the issue with the pasta, which he didn’t have to do, so we thought that was very thoughtful! If we do go back, it will be to the Brass Hat down stairs for appetizers and cocktails.”
