This is our second visit to the Bungalow Kitchen. Although we were well aware of the menu and the prices, we wished to celebrate an anniversary at an upscale venue. The setting, the SF view, and the staff were outstanding. A $19, Manhatten, an $18, Caesar salad, and filet of sole at $49, did not come close to their value. It becomes difficult to convince yourself these are extra special simply because of their price. The noise level is such that conversation over a small table was difficult at best. Oh, be sure to bring your phone--you will not be able to read the menu without a light of some sort. It was delightful to see so many young couples with their children... extremely interesting, don't remember a Kid's Menu.

A Family member recommended that we dined at this place and it was wonderful!! I was ready to order the Chef’s tasting menu, but we were there in the afternoon and tasting menu goes on in the evenings only. The oysters were amazing! So tasty and fresh I wanted more and more!! Th dishes were tasty, creative and well balanced in flavor. Duck wings Tuna tartare Oyster shooter Black truffle Cesar salad Lobster Bisque Were all amazing dishes that I will certainly return for… but the deserts…. OH MY!! The beautiful layered cake so light and and feast to the eyes with the just right amount of sugar and creaminess . The apple pie inspired desert was absolutely the show stopper. A beautiful presentation and the comforting flavor of the apple pie in a light pastry construction a MUST!

Good food and ambiance however the service was highly inconsistent. While waiting for our table (we were early), we went to the bar and placed a drink order. While waiting for our drinks, we were asked by five different bar staff asked to take out order. Eventually we were seated outside on their patio. We waited over a half-hour before asking someone to take our order. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly however, we are reluctant to return due to what seems to be chaos behind the scenes.

The Bungalow Kitchen was wonderful with one exception. We had made a reservation for 7:45 on a Sunday to arrive and find out the kitchen closed at 8:00. I felt we should have been told that beforehand. Otherwise service and food was outstanding.

From the moment we entered till the time we finished our meal and left, we were all made to feel welcomed and appreciated our patronage. The server introduced himself right away and got our drinks going. He then explained all the dishes so we knew there would be no food allergies. He was very attentive. The food was delicious except this one time the haimachi appetizer was on the very salty side. I’ve ordered this twice before and the presentation was different. It didn’t need all the sauce covering the fish which would’ve tasted better with just the clean taste with minimal sauce over the entire plate. But other than that, all the other appetizers and dishes were delicious. We will definitely be returning as we all took business cards.

The food was excellent, BUT the entire venue was too noisy and too casual. The service was absolutely terrible from the reception to our specific waiter- very disorganized and delayed. It is a giant cougar fest inside-45yo+ divorcees all loud and drunk.

The seating at the inside tables is just not comfortable. Booths that should only seat two are used for 3 people and a side chair. Bleh. Such a shame too because I really wanted to love this place. Our waiter was awesome but spread too thin. The burger was greasy, fries were over salted, the branzino was mushy…..the winner was the sea bass and the hamachi. Cocktails were delish. I expected more from Mr. Mina as I’ve dined at so many of his restaurants. I’m going to try one more time…this time on the deck. The view is to die for and hopefully, the tables are more ergonomic and comfortable.

We had a beautiful evening greeted with a hand signed birthday card by all the staff for my husbands birthday. The food was served quickly and very well as we had a couple of A la carte dishes off the menu. The staff was alert and very attentive but the night was only so enjoyable because of our serve, ‘Osware’. He was checking with us regularly and had an incredible knowledge of the menu, the restaurant and of Michael Mina himself. He was incredible and a wonderful asset to The Bungalow Kitchen. The restaurant is very lucky to have such a pleasant, welcoming, friendly person. He really knows his stuff and his recommendations were fantastic! The food , the table, the atmosphere was also fantastic. Thank you Osware for a very memorable evening!

I would recommend Bungalow Kitchen with reservations: Pros: —Unbeatable view —Tasty cocktails —Very sweet attentive waiters/waitresses and staff —Seems like a cool place to have drinks rather than to commit to a full sit-down meal Cons: —Food just OK—unfortunately, from the fun menu, nothing my companion and I ordered particularly stood out, truly feels like a missed opportunity; —If you are tall, you may feel like Gulliver when you're seated and find that your knees are in your neck—the dining chairs and tables are all super low, almost miniature—I know it's chic and all that, but if you're 5'10" or taller it's really not workable.

We celebrated a couple of birthdays with brunch at the Bungalow Kitchen. Plenty of choices for appetizers and entrées. Everything we tried looked great and tasted delicious (french toast, shrimp lettuce cups, clam chowder, branzino, duck wings, the bucatini). The staff was courteous and friendly all the way through, they even signed birthday cards for us. Shout out to Peter & Marco for their hospitality! We’re already looking forward to the next visit. <3

We came here for brunch on a Saturday. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. I can only imagine the people they usually have to serve and that's coming from me who's high maintenance and they made it easy. We ordered the endless rose, one sparkling and one still, since it was only $30 and $35 per person but with they weren't my favorite wines (we shared) so would order off the wine menu. They had interesting cocktails where I'd recommend going that route. The ahi tuna and lobster toast were our favorite items we ordered. Highly recommend both. They're very different from one another where the lobster toast is decadent and ahi tuna is a large portion and probably the freshest ahi I've ever had. We then had the wagyu burger and steak and eggs. Both exactly what they sound like. Nothing special but delicious. The wagyu burger was quite greasy but what do you expect. Overall great meal and experience but pricy. If you feel like splurging, get the lobster pot pie and share it. It looked amazing!
