Bungalow 44

My friends live in Mill Valley and couldn’t have chosen a better spot for dinner than Bungalow 44. We sat indoors as outdoors was full and had a great time. From the cocktails 🍹 to $1 oysters 🦪 to the hamachi poppers to fish to the flatbread to the dessert everything was delicious. Our server was really nice too, I didn’t catch his name but when I mentioned I’m from Thailand he spoke to me in Thai which was cool! Would definitely go back to Bungalow and recommend it to anyone looking for a nicer spot for dinner in Mill Valley.

Definitely 10/10 experience!!!! Got marrow bone for a starter and it was my first time trying marrow bone, it was something else! I could eat another 5 plates of it. Also got fillet for my main and attaching pics to show how perfect it was. Absolutely beautiful experience thank you so much for this. Service was absolutely brilliant too!

Truly fantastic - delicious dishes at very fair prices, and a very charming atmosphere!

Out of 500 times that I came today was probably the worst experience… we sat at the chefs bar and we came towards the end of the evening. The food was delicious, but the waiter rushed us to order things and to eat things and to get us out. No blame if people wanted to start closing, but after we add and paid, we still were able to sit for quite a long time. The energy from the kitchen was rushing us as well. I came back and I thought why did we just spend $200 to eat in such a rush horrible environment despite really good food …

Absolutely fantastic experience. Delicious food and drinks in a lovey outdoor patio. We had the pasta bolognese, the short ribs, and a salmon filet. All were absolutely fantastic! The short ribs with the horseradish mashed potatoes were prob my favorite. The old fashioned was delicious too. I can’t say enough about how accommodating they were with our lack of reservation and dietary restrictions. SO great!

Our entire dining experience was excellent, from the time we arrived until we left. The appetizers were very unique and delicious; the main dishes were excellent as well as the plating and presentation.

The building has gone through several restaurant reinventions (long ago it was one of my personal all time favorites, the Avenue Grill) and it just keeps getting better!! Absolutely the BEST Oysters we have ever eaten, and better yet, Sunday through Thursday from 5-6PM they are $1 each! Go for the oysters and stay for the rest of the menu and the cocktails. I recommend you eat at the bar or the counter near the kitchen.

This is a lively neighborhood restaurant in the charming downtown area of Mill Valley. The food was very good, especially the fried chicken which was wonderful. The service was excellent- very warm and welcoming. The place has a fun vibe without being noisy. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

This is my surprise meal of the year! This is an absolute 10/10. From the service, to the location to the food, all flawless. It mine and my wife's anniversary today and we just wanted to keep it simple. We wanted good food and a nice experience, we weren't after a Michelin star level experience. Well we found exactly that at Bungalow 44. As soon as we were greeted by our server Tony (who I highly recommend asking for), I knew we were in the right place. After ordering a dozen oysters (1$ each 5-6 PM!!) we let our server know that it was our anniversary and we wanted to take our time eating a drinking as much as we could. He was more than happy to facilitate that and also give great advice. Tony was one of the best servers I've had. He could have been straight out of French Laundry. Even taking the temperature outside into account for our orders. He guided us into some amazing starters like the Hamachi Poppers and the Crazy Corn. Both were grand slams. So good. We also tried the shrimp and grits and it stole the show. For entrees we tried the Filet and the Fried Chicken. As a southerner, fried chicken is gospel to me, and this is the best fried chicken I've had in the Bay Area. Not to mention the more than generous amounts of food. This is a true hidden gem. Even their mocktails were loved by my wife. And their cocktails even better by me. Hate I didn't take enough pictures but food was too good. Must try!!

We had a reservation for 7:30, arrived and were seated immediately at the counter as we had requested. It's been at least 3 years since we have dined here. We both ordered a cocktail and we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. I asked for sparkling water...I didn't ask, nor was it offered that we would be paying for a large bottle so that was slightly annoying. Plenty of restaurants offer in house sparkling water. We ordered the corn ribs. So incredibly delicious. Seriously. The quail was a VERY small portion. While I realize they are not chicken sized by any rate-we estimated there were probably 6-7 bites. Flavor was good. The salmon was also flavorful with a nice peppery arugula salad plus the starch. We shared the sticky toffee cake which was yummy. 3 cocktails, 2 dessert wines and it came to $220.00. Expected in Marin. Yes it was good, service was kind and prompt. I just have a hard time paying that much for a meal these days.

B44 is the place to go in Mill Valley on a Monday for a quick happy hour because it's open and you can usually grab a seat at the bar, inside in a booth, or outside on their redone patio with heat lamps. There is a great bar inside with helpful tenders. There is an open kitchen so you can watch the chefs do their thing. The menu pretty much stays the same and has seasonal specials like a summer green gazpacho. Everything is tasty and while not original it's just fine. The hamachi poppers are like a twist on sushi. The Brussels are yummy. They definitely stepped up their service and expectations during quarantine and sold such awesome take out buckets, to go drink kits, and more. They don't really have much of a happy hour other than oysters for a buck, but still that's not nothing. On this visit, we had the kicken chicken, oysters, and salad.

Recently hosted a dinner here for clients and colleagues. Start to finish, our server was fantastic! I also thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Our group shared food throughout the evening. By far the stars of the night were the hamachi poppers. I'd go back just for them! The group also thoroughly enjoyed the Brussels, flatbread, fried chicken and steak frites. I'm really glad I chose Bungalow 44 and look forward to another meal there when I'm back in MV!

Family took a trip to Mill Valley for a Mother's Day weekend getaway. Our vacation spot was directly across the street from Bungalow 44 so we had to give it a try (also recommended by rental owner). Ambiance was amazing, low but sufficient lighting and though a bit fancier of a restaurant they had crayons and a menu activity for the kids (2 and 4) to keep them entertained while we decided what to eat. The staff was friendly and helpful, immediately being greeted and served water with an option of sparkling (added cost). We ordered veggies for the kids, which were healthy with a wonderful dipping sauce. To try some new things we ordered three entrees and split them. Burger, lamb shank, and short ribs were all amazing. Preference here was the lamb shank and burger, though the short ribs were only last due to the high quality of the others. We ended the meal with dessert, the ice cream and beignets went amazing together and the entire family had an enjoyable and very filling adventure to this recommended spot.

Came here just for oysters and they did not disappoint. We ordered a total of 84 oysters for a party of 4 and all of them were fresh. The flatbread we used as "chaser" for the oysters were also good. Staff were quick, attentive and polite.

Kampachi poppers are wow The pork chop is amaze balls with the sauted cabbage and Brussels . There aren't a lot of bad options here - I've had most of them ! The above is most recent .

3.5 stars TL;DR - Great and friendly service from Zakery! Food was ok with some hits and misses. Clean bathroom, lively and busy atmosphere. Went on a Friday night at around 6:30p and though we did not have reservations our party of 3 was seated right away at a fire pit outside. Our waiter Zakery was super nice and even though it was busy would occasionally come and check on us, which was perfect bc me and my girlfriends were busy catching up after some time of not being together. What we ordered: Hamachi poppers - our favorite of the night, flavorful and the crispy rice cake added a nice crunch Roasted cauliflower - very tasty! Charred rainbow carrots - cooked right and the goat cheese gave it a nice tang Shrimp and grits - pretty good Kickin' fried chicken - least favorite as the chicken was very dry I also ordered a cocktail (fo shizzle mai swizzle) which was not bad. My 2 friends ordered mock tails. Overall, a solid experience with a great ambience for me and my friends to reconnect.

Everything about this establishment was wonderful but the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the food wasn't anything special. First- the venue is really pretty. Located in downtown Mill Valley, they have an outdoor tent lit up with sparkly twinkle lights and heat lamps scattered throughout for warmth and comfort. We were seated indoors in a smaller room away from the main dining room with a wood burning fireplace. Dark wood and leather made the room feel warm and inviting. The drinks were definitely a highlight. I love a good hand crafted cocktail and the drinks did not disappoint! I had the Blue Crush and the Fo Shizzle My Swizzle, both of which were delicious. The service was great, and the food all came out fresh and hot. But the food to me lacked that "Oooomph". Everything tasted good, but it wasn't amazing. I had high hopes for the hamachi poppers based on reviews but those were just ok. We also had the steak tartare, Brussels sprouts, barramundi, and the bucatini and everything was good but nothing special. I would go back for the drinks and the ambiance and maybe I'll try different dishes next time. But this is definitely a solid spot to try if you're in town!

I've been half a dozen times, and there's always something to enjoy - and to vex. The team behind Bungalow 44 have an apparently insatiable appetite for opening restaurants in Mill Valley, and whilst I don't hold any of them in particularly high regard, a lovely commonality between all of the restaurants in the group, including Bungalow 44, is that they unfailingly recruit and, more importantly, *empower* talented bar staff. Service at the bars is always friendly, the pours are generous, and the cocktails are invariably a delight. This isn't happenstance: the ownership team either has real chops in this area, or delegates it to someone who does. And happily, unlike their other joints, Bungalow 44 has some dishes I've genuinely enjoyed eating. Perhaps the best example is the fried chicken - which is so-so, but elevated enormously by the phenomenal accompanying mashed potato. I sincerely consider it to be second only to Joël Robuchon's, anywhere in the world. Alas, the service here is turgid. During one visit, a member of our party ordered a medium rare steak, only to be served a dense brick of seemingly roasted beef. When he politely showed the waitress and reminded her that he had ordered it medium rare, she - in front of six other people at the table - flatly told him that he was mistaken, and that he had asked for it to be well done. After some back and forth (during which everyone else at the table was exchanging puzzled looks at the open hostility on display), she returned with a better attempt, and threw in a sarcastic jibe for good measure. Not for the first time at a restaurant in the Playa/Buckeye Roadhouse/Corner Bar/Bungalow 44 quadrifecta, I had to be talked out of simply leaving immediately. On another visit, I was served bone marrow without the marrow: a solid piece of bone, overcooked to the point of being impenetrable: the medullary cavity as solid as the bone surrounding it, where instead there ought to be gelatinous oozing marrow. Despite the inarguable evidence in front of her, a waitress squinted at my plate and wondered aloud how she would know if I had simply eaten the marrow, before reluctantly bringing me something Fergus Henderson would recognize as bone marrow. It's so strange. Each time I've been, without fail, I've encountered a member of staff who says something oddly sharp to our party, or their colleague, or another patron. And then each time I've had a good drink, and some decent food, and almost - but not quite - forgotten about the hostility. All of which is a shame, because there are signs of something worthwhile here: the new patio area is much improved, there's a coherence of brand and menu and ambience not seen at other outposts from the same team, and the dishes occasionally impress. Maybe Bungalow 45 or 46 will be the one?

Four of us tried this restaurant, and we all loved it and said we did not eat "one bad thing." I wasn't sure how it was going to be because I saw a lot of four stars, so I thought good but possibly hit and miss. However, everything from the appetizers to the main course was amazing! For appetizers, we had several--cauliflower appetizer, crab cakes, hamachi and flatbread--all amazing! We shared three main courses because we had so many apps--ribeye special (melt in your mouth), fosh--forgetting the name--but it's a white fish like sea bass served over veggies--sooooo good! And then there was the best shrimp and grits ever! Beyond the food, the service was excellent... a rarity these days. the ambience was vibrant and fun, and there were different dining options in the lounge in the high seats by the bar and in the outdoor room. we were in a booth in the main part of the restaurant and it was lovely even though it was by the water stand. If I had to choose again, I might've opted for the outdoor room. It looked bright and fun and was actually covered and not truly outdoors. when you reserve, you get to choose...no bad choices.

Still Amazing After All These Years! It had been years since I last visited Bungalow 44, and I'm happy to say it's still as great as ever! The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere has such a great vibe--warm, lively, and welcoming. Whether you're stopping by for a casual night out or a special occasion, this place never disappoints. So glad I came back, and I won't wait so long for my next visit!

Last night 12/22/24 the kitchen staff threw down and the food was a hit. My husband and I chose to have dinner here after a long day of hiking. We enjoyed the short rib & steak frites plates and finished it off with the sticky toffee cake (which was such a perfect & delicious finish to our meals). The service was excellent & props to the hardworking chefs in the kitchen. We both enjoyed our dining experience here and will be back next time!

Very good ambiance, low lighting, great date spot. Been coming here for over 10 years, overall outstanding food, not a bad dish on the menu. Great location in downtown Mill Valley and service is very kind, attentive and respectful.

Excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Appreciated that they added a single hamachi shooter to our order so that nobody went without.

I took the family to Muir Woods for the day. On the way back I checked out Yelp as this place was within shooting distance and bc of the ratings. I'm so glad I did! The chicken is amazing (spicy and not dry)! The ambience is pretty amazing too as the location is in the heart of Mill Valley. The Hummus is tasty as is the Roasted Brussel sprouts. My 4 year old Izzy was able to eat Mac n Cheese while also drawing (restaurant provides crayons for kids). Do come and check it out !

My partner and I made a last minute reservation on a Saturday evening and was pleasantly satisfied with what we tried. They are currently featuring their Autumn Menu and I highly recommend the rainbow charred carrots, fig bruschetta (specialty item), mahi mahi (specialty item), pork chop, and end the night off with their glorious sticky toffee cake. We also got a side of cornbread, and although delicious, the honey butter could've been salted a bit more as it felt like I was eating a slightly less sweet dessert. That's just my personal preference though. A brief rundown of each item: -Fig Bruschetta: this has a bit of a kick to it!! Loved the fresh fig and the fig jam, this was a truly delicious bite -Rainbow Charred Carrots: this was an amazing fall app to begin our night, very earthy but pairs excellent with the goat cheese and pumpkin seeds and pomegranate -Pork Chop: this tamarind glaze with the butternut squash purse was THE PERFECT fall entree, highly recommend -Mahi Mahi: perfectly flakey, paired with the mango salsa, it was surprisingly refreshing, also there was this very yummy garlic/potato puree on the dish I couldn't quite identify, but delicious nonetheless! -Toffee Cake: who doesn't love a hot & cold situation, amazing palette cleanser In addition to how amazing the food is, we got sat in the outdoor tent and the setting was so lovely. Sparkling lights everywhere! Also, Britney was such an amazing waitress to us, I give all the credit to her on how smooth the night went. I will definitely be coming again during other seasons, brava!

Absolutely loved the service and food and atmosphere at Bungalow 44...ask for Chuck the friendly and professional waiter who has been there for over three years. (p.s. he used to live on Maui and worked as waiter at Mama's Fish House and Hula Grill - helloooo! ..he is the best! Great oysters and beignets! And everything else! And the Assistant GM is Andres Botas....superb and a professional in every way! Our fave restaurant in Marin County...go there now!

I CANNOT say enough amazing things about this location. First - very good food. Delicious, creative cocktails. Second - superb and I mean superb customer service! BIG shoutout to Christina, Andres, and two male patrons/cooks (I wish I knew their names). I would be back in a heartbeat. Let's just say, there was a situation with a customer and Andres, Christina, and two male patrons assisted my party with getting to our car safely. They went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, they were apologetic (even though the situation was not their fault nor in their control). Thank you to the establishment and crew at Bungalow 44; your service is much appreciated!

How this place isn't 5 stars is beyond me. Best food in Mill Valley hands down and some of the best food in all of Marin County. Never miss it when coming to the Bay Area. The hamachi poppers are out of this world and so is the Bucatini. The vibe and service is great too. 5 stars all day

What a gem. Bungalow 44 is so cute! Maybe it's the Christmas decorations. The outdoor seating is warming and actually warm with all the heat lamps. I love it. The food was good. My friends order 3 appetizers and 5 entrees for 4 people. My favorite was the hamachi poppers. Wooooahhh I can have an order myself. Well each order comes with only 3. Haha! It burst with flavors and texture. I just love it. My favorite item eaten at the restaurant. I really like the mushroom gnocchi. Normally I'm not a huge fan. The cocktails were good too. I really like the well-rested. Refreshing and not too sweet. Service was a bit slow but they were nice. Will definitely come back when in Marin.

Oysters before 6pm 1 dollar each. Incredible deal Servers wonderful they are always helpful to my needs. Love the outside tent.

Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Perfect for a date night! All of the food was delicious. Our favorites were the brussel sprouts and the shrimp and grits.

One of the best restaurants in Mill Valley, I have no idea how it got 3.9 stars..must be some very challenging customers. The food here is incredible. Get the hamachi poppers & Bucatini pasta they're soooo good! My husband & I had our wedding reception dinner in the private fireplace room. It was idyllic. Staff has always been super attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend!

Whether you're looking for the fried chicken, hearty beef or lamb dishes, or a light salad and fresh seafood, this is the place! Always lively in the evenings, you'll see and be seen here.

Barramundi. Is my mundo, yo . SO GOOD. Crispy skin, delicious salty broth. Wow. Literally the perfect mid-week dinner to feel healthy and full. I almost didn't order it because I thought it wouldn't be filling enough. I almost couldn't finish it. It was so good. Also, the strawberry infused Aperol spritz was so much better than normal Apperal spritz's. Totally took that gnarly bite off the back of your tongue. 100% enjoyable. Amazing on a nice sunny afternoon or a balmy evening like we've been having lately. Thank me later.

Bungalow 44 still gots it! Great ambiance. Check Friendly helpful service. Check Great food. Check Dining outside is pure paradise. Great cocktail selection Fried chicken is legendary Highly recommended

2.5 Stars $1 oysters. 'nuff said. I love me some oysters, especially at happy hour prices. The Kickin' Chicken, not so much. It was crispy and flavorful only in the skin, dry everywhere else. At $26, you expect something finger licking good...the biscuit that accompanied the chicken was dry as the California drought. Once again, good flavor, but I could only consume a third before it started to feel like I had xerostomia (dental lingo for dry mouth, proud RDH right herr). The mashed potatoes were solid and the highlight of this dish. They were perfectly whipped and seasoned - my only wish was a larger portion. Bae ordered the short rib which absolutely fell apart in tenderness, but was just M-E-H in taste. Neither of these dishes were worth their money and had I known, I would have eaten oysters all night. Thank goodness for my dessert - I say my because bae's beignets weren't anything special. Don't expect the taste of New Orleans in your mouth, but at least they didn't skimp on the portion. The sticky toffee cake was fire and a delectable morsel that I would get again if I ever found myself back at this overpriced joint. Outdoor dining was cute and spacious, but fills up quickly so I recommend a reservation. A few dogs were present, including ours, which added to the vibe. Service was quite slow and our server wasn't the most attentive, but we made it through the dinner. I can finally check this restaurant off my list and stop wondering if it's good. Answer: meh.

My friend, and I went to Bungalow 44 and our bill appeared a bit high. After checking, we were indeed overcharged. No apology was given by the server or manager. In fact when I asked the manager about it, he said he overheard the server apologizing to us, which he had not and then said they would have caught the error at the end of the night. I get that mistakes can be made, he put the order of the ladies next to us on our bill, but what I don't understand is how a business like this can have such poor customer recovery.

I usually love Bungalow 44 and think it's the best, consistently good food in Mill Valley but we had a very disappointing experience that I hope isn't a harbinger of things to come there. We had theater tickets for 7:30 so I made a reservation for 5:45pm - more time than I thought we'd need but it's what was available. Lucky for us we did get there that early -- once we put in our food order, we sat there for a full 45 minutes (!) until our dishes emerged -- and only after asking a wait person (not ours) to please find out what was going on. It made for an extremely rushed dinner, with our having to wave down a waiter to get our check while two of us were still eating. What a way to ruin a nice, pricey dinner!

I'm reasonably well educated in gourmet cooking and find bungalows 44 to be very talented in providing dishes showing off fresh local California cuisine. Dishes are expertly concocted, for example a finely blended carrot mix with a hint of cumin and barely detectable cream, cornbread muffins served with honey spun butter and bits of sweet corn kernels , and short ribs delicately flavored with root beer that fall off the fork with no prodding. Someone in the kitchen at Bungalow 44 clearly has the ability to create dishes that flirt with the potential of michelin one starism without the gaudy excessiveness. Stay the course, the restaurant business can be brutal but an eatery like this should be around for a very long time.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Have heard a lot about it from friends and locals in Marin. Coming in for a Tuesday dinner the patio was almost entirely full and the inside at half to 3/4 capacity. I ordered the gold tequila-mezcal drink, it was excellent over crushed ice with coconut milk and mango. Food was all 5/5 Burger 5/5 (full of flavor, perfectly cooked Medium Rare, awesome burger with a soft poppy-seed bun) Shrimp & Grits 5/5 (fresh shrimp, perfect portion, excellent flavor, not too spicy) Mac & Cheese 5/5 (less rich than I thought it would be for having truffle oil, was nice and not oversalted, bacon was soft and not overbearing in flavor, adding jalapeños was a nice addition) Kid friendly restaurant, prices warrant the quality and ambiance. Service from Brittany was great, she paid close attention to detail and set the expectation for us to have a great experience at Bungalow 44. Thanks!

Nice big outdoors space with heaters (though noisy). Service was nice. Poppers were pretty good, so was the bone marrow. The pita bread that came with the hummus could have been fresher.

I've been here on multiple occasions and each time I swear is better than the last and I didn't think that would be possible. The staff is also so welcoming and the service is great! You always feel attended to but never rushed. They have an amazing cocktail selection and a great wine list as well. Food wise everything is absolutely delicious but if I had to tell you to try one thing it would be their hamachi poppers, trust me you'll want 6 orders after trying them!!! The vibe inside is perfect for a date night, girls night or any celebration. Needless to say, Bungalow 44 is a must try!

Came here for my bf's bday and we loved it. The food was fantastic. We sat by the fireplace which made eating a little less comfortable but it was still a wonderful experience overall. The drinks were fantastic also!

Great ambience and great service! We were seated at the outdoor tent area which had plenty of string lights and very high quality heat lamps. Our server was attentive and friendly. A dish that stood out was the Petrale Sole. Loved the lemongrass coconut sauce that was served with the well cooked fish. 4/5 The beignets were too doughy and not very sweet. Kind of an odd aftertaste to them as well. Appreciated that there were 6 beignets though. Good to share w the table. 2/5 The Kabocha was really disappointing. It was dry and a few were burnt. The flavors also were lacking. 0/5 Steak tartare isn't my thing but I tried it since it was a group appetizer. If you are a fan of steak tartare, it could be worth ordering. Hamachi was delicious! Loved the crispy rice cake and ponzu sauce. Crunchy, soft, and acidic. Perfect bite in one. 5/5 Seared Ahi tuna was good. 4/5 Shrimp n grits: loved the grits but then again I always love grits. It's hard to mess up grits. Sauce was flavorful. I just did not enjoy the experience of picking out shrimp antennae from my mouth when I was eating the grits... 3/5 Brussels sprouts: very flavorful! ate the entire bowl. 5/5 Overall this spot is perfect for an evening out or a celebration dinner but the dishes are a hit or miss here. I'm willing to come again to try their other offerings.

Never disappoint! Outdoor seating, fireplace, Aeperol and oysters! What else is called haven?

Each time we have come here the food has been excellent. The fall season menu ahi tartare appetizer and main dish filet mignons are the highlights. Avoid the winter menu ahi tartare appetizer (currently served) , while it is decent it comes no where close to the amazing life changing ahi plate available in the fall seasonal menu. Atmosphere and service have been very good each visit. But the food is the primary highlight. Exceptional each time we have visited.

Would you believe this was the home of the Grateful Dead? My wife says that whenever we cross the Golden Gate Bridge to visit Mill Valley. The hippies transformed themselves into well to do inhabitants of a bedroom community to San Francisco, still quaint. It would be a mistake to consider Mill Valley a suburb though. It is a town unto itself, with character -- but not cloying. Their film festival, for example, was running just then, all around us. I'd bet folks here have money, just less than in Silicon Valley 75 minutes in the other direction from the city, but they are more likely to be artsy than tech-y. Bungalow 44 is of this milieu, perfect for its time and place. That is what you need to know, to determine if you will enjoy it. We don't get over here that much. Our favorite restaurant, Frantoio, with its own olive oil press, closed before the pandemic. We had been to Bungalow 44 once or twice, and I had read it was redone at some point. I'm glad we tried it again, and I'd patronize it happily. We need to find a regular place for when we come to see theatre. This is a solid contender. We were seated in what appeared to be a permanent outdoor structure. So many restaurants have done that, with the pandemic, and I'm glad they have made it permanent. The floor had a slight issue; it was too bouncy whenever wait staff went by, which is better than a competing restaurant which had a ballet studio upstairs, rendering it impossible to sit underneath eight year olds who seemed giants thumping their floor/the diners' ceiling. The outdoor heaters here were powerful and plentiful, appropriate for the region, where you might need to fire them up without warning due to the microclimates and their sudden fluctuations. My wife requested it. They were cheerful about it. They even replaced a propane tank to run two of the burners. That ended up roasting my wife. She endured it as her own doing. We had four small dishes. That was ample. They were the fried oysters with slaw; miatake mushrooms with white bean purée and Marcona almonds and garlic chips; hamachi poppers, which were like nigiri sushi on black rice toasted as spheres; and Brussels sprouts. All were very good. They were fresh and flavorful, interesting but not incongruous in flavors. The service was not bad. We had to request the bread, which was about as good as it could be for something not just made and piping hot. The flavors were fusion in a sense, but so too is all American cuisine or at least what is deemed to be California cuisine. They were the sort of blending which feels unforced, not showy at all. In an episode of the hit television show Frasier, the brothers Crane are discussing where to dine out. Niles mentions the hottest new thing, a place which features Polynesian Scandinavian food. The double punchlines are: Niles explaining "its called Mahalo Valhalla" followed by Frasier replying, "perhaps there is a reason God put those countries so far apart." (Discerning viewers would note those are not countries, but they made mistakes from time to time, such as another episode with Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, which has no specific key.) The prices also were not outrageous. By the standards of the Bay Area, they were moderate. So taking that into account, this was an excellent value.

Their food is really really good. I have ordered their fried chicken to go on numerous occasions. It's the best fried chicken in the area. The reason for my three star rating is the service unfortunately. The hostess looked less than happy to greet us no smile or welcome when we arrived. Our server had no awareness. We sat for at least 10 mins with no greeting at all . I had to ask for drinks from another server close by. Our drinks sat empty a few times. I would def recommend ordering take out until their service improves.

wife got food poisoning from the short rib. Otherwise we thought things were great.

Friend found this spot on Yelp and we swung by for drinks. Exceedingly popular-- recommend reservations to ensure a spot. Even with a reservation, we waited 10 mins when some tables were "given away" to "groups who already paid" (???) We eventually were seated at the fire pit. For COVID safety purposes, all staff and patrons must wear masks (unless eating). Did not see any sanitizing between guests (at my seat, I even found a huge dead bug). Outdoor seating area is adorned with twinkling cafe lights and a jungle of plants. Makes for a cozy and intimate setting. Our server was attentive and bubbly, but other staff weren't as courteous. LIL MIZZ FIZZ: Light enough to drink without guilt, but sweet enough to feel like you're not drinking. Basically fruit juice. Instantly a fan MAC N CHEESE: SO tasty. Chunks of bacon + cheese + whole cavatappi + toppings were amazing. Thanks to our server who recommended this! TRUFFLE FRIES: Standard, toasty truffle fries. Food quality: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Environment: 4/5

Excellent find! We are unfamiliar with this area and are so happy to find this spot! Delicious!! We will be back. Good drinks too!

Super yummy food, attentive waitstaff, and they were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free needs.

Great food. Super nice staff. Was definitely a highlight restaurant when visiting the area this weekend. The food was really good and had great flavors and everything was pretty unique. I would definitely recommend it!

Today we have dined at Bungalow 44, I invited my mom and her friend and unfortunately, we had a very negative experience with one of the waiters on the terrace. His disrespectful and arrogant attitude towards us was completely unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Despite spending a total of $350 (for 3 people ) which is ok, but seriously... at list friendly welcome atmosphere will be very nice! So sad to say how much our mood was ruined by this person! It's a shame that a restaurant with such a good quality food would allow a waiter to behave in such an unprofessional manner. P.S. I almost never complain, I don't write bad reviews but today it was really extremely unpleasant experience, If the administration has questions for me, I am ready to answer and leave my phone number in a DM.

The fried chicken at this place is next level. There isn't a lot of batter used; it's simple and fresh! The mashed potatoes that accompany the chicken are delicious and smooth. My friend tells me the lamb meatballs are good, but not great. He tried my chicken and said, yeah that's definitely better! During Covid times, they offer a convenient and covered car drive through pickup area. We took our food to the nearby plaza and ate on the tables there. Remember to ask for napkins and utensils! They didn't give them to us without being prompted. The chocolate mousse is decadently profound.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Marin. I hosted a private party for 33 guests in the fireplace private room and it was perfect. The service and food is always great! I've had a lot of beef tartare dishes everywhere but theirs is my favorite especially since it's served with a mini grilled cheese. Can't go wrong with their hamachi popper. All their cocktails that I have tried were crafted so well. Definitely recommend Bungalow 44!

Mariah, Shane, Tara and the rest of the staff made this years Thanksgiving a wonderful night to remember and I recommend that everyone at least once visit the Michael Minas Group Bungalow in Tiburon ! Dining at the bar was just a true delight and pleasure! The food and services are second to known!
