Wonderful experience overall! Fabulous service, food, and setting! We sat in the outside patio heat lamps and views of the bay. We started off with delicious cocktails and crafted and original! The wine suggested to us by the survey complimented our food. We will definitely be back!

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.

Terrific! I think they can get a little more variety in their mock tail list. Would be better to rely less on fever tree bc too much sugar. The rest of the menu is out of this world though!!!

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!

The ambience is wonderful, especially on the heated outdoor patio, which is right on the water but protected from wind by a clear glass barrier. The food was good but not spectacular and very, very expensive. However, the appetizer I had seemed to be very expensive ($22) but turned out to be delicious and enough to have been an entree. I would recommend to friends for the ambience and tasty enough food but tell them to think about just an appetizer and maybe a salad to keep the cost down.

Took 15 minutes from sitting down to get water, another 10 to get a drink menu, and then the waiter couldn't understand why my wife wasn't drinking on her birthday when she explicitly told him she's pregnant. Not to be deterred, he made sure to come by and ask her again if she was absolutely sure she didn't want a drink 30 minutes later. My glass was empty but was clearly not a problem not worth solving ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We made the reservation as locals expecting most of the bad reviews to be from tourists but boy oh boy were we mistaken 😂

Extremely disappointing. We had the tasting menu. The portions were obscenely small. When I complained to the server he told me the steak (my entree) is 3oz. And it wasn’t even good. The service was amateurish. And extremely expensive ($480 for 2 people)

This otherwise attractive eatery has absolutely no good tables for 2. The tables are mostly too small for the fine dining they offer (e.g. 24" round), all are located in bustling aisles of foot traffic and some near cold breezy doorways. And the music is too loud for a finer-dining experience.

Now, I do and don't want to go back. Being made to feel like an inconvenience because there's a private party arriving within the hour of our reservation left a sour taste (maybe reservations times should have ended at 2pm) AND when the bill arrived, while the husbands were paying, I used the facilities before heading out- On my way back to the table, I decided to take a picture of the ambiance of the restaurant, a man says "great photo op" and I smile - I then make my way back to our table, the same man then comes up to me and says "please know that's a private party" and I say "I know" then he says "oh, I didn't know, are you part of the party?" And I says "no, I'm heading back to my table, we're getting ready to leave" 1. Why would you assume I wasn't a part of the party? Hmm, must be because I'm not palm colored like the majority of the private party. 2. Next time fully evaluate the situation because our table was in clear view but he probably assumed they weren't my party either (I'm Latine and my friends are a mix of Asian and White) Nothing ruins a dining experience for me more than when I experience these types of microaggressions. Would love to come back but probably won't - that feeling always deters my willingness to come back.
