We sat next to a table that had THREE umbrellas completely covering their table but my group couldn't even have 1. Then about 30 minutes later, I see them putting up additional umbrellas for the musicians. Either it's safe for umbrellas or it's not. It was the weirdest experience. When I spoke with the manager about it, he didn't really care.

Cons: I got the adult chicken tenders with fries. Too much breading on the tenders. Reuben sandwich with fries and the chicken soft tacos were bland and needed more seasoning.

The staff was friendly and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere, a small table outside, was charming and reminiscent of a European cafe.

He loved it and said everything was fresh and well made. I have numerous food allergies and the staff and chef ensured that my Seal Beach omelette was not only delicious (so tasty & fresh) but safe for me to eat. I would definitely recommend Crema Do make reservations, it makes everything easier.

My wife and I came to Boathouse on the Bay to celebrate her birthday. We requested a table close to…read morethe water, and the team was kind enough to accommodate us right away. The setting was wonderful, and having live music playing added a great vibe to the evening. Because we had eaten a late lunch, we kept our food order light and went with couple of beers, a glass of Prosecco, the beer-bartered fries, and the watermelon salad. Everything tasted great, and the service throughout the night was attentive and friendly. One minor thing to keep in mind if you are celebrating a special occasion: I asked the host about getting a birthday dessert, but it ended up on our final bill. I may have phrased the request incorrectly, or it might just be restaurant policy! If you are hoping for a complimentary birthday treat or sample, just make sure to clarify with your server or host when ordering. Overall, the host was super sweet and welcoming. It's a lovely spot on the bay with a huge parking lot (though it definitely fills up fast on weekends). We had a nice time and will certainly return again!

They always make my daughter and I feel like family, and that kind of hospitality is rare.

Melissa, Justin, and Alberto truly complete the entire experience. We always leave feeling cared for, appreciated, and excited to return.

I also added a side of their crispy bacon, which was definitely worth it -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing since I got there right when they opened, which made it even more enjoyable. It's a smaller spot, but cozy, with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience and I would definitely come back again.

In the summer when I'm in Seal for two months I go every Sunday for brunch. It is fabulous. I was looking forward to my last Sunday about a month ago, the day before I was headed back home. I arrived at my usual time about 15 minutes before brunch is scheduled and advertised to end. The bartender, who is not my usual server, informed me that I could not order brunch. When I politely inquired as to why, since the time had not expired for brunch, she condescendingly told me that since I don't work at a restaurant, I wouldn't know that the kitchen shuts down before the actual time. I noticed that the owner didn't happen to be there that Sunday as he usually is. We left.

FIVE STARS IS FOR THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE NOT THE FOOD…read more My friend and I had a good time at the lre- opening night of The Bungalow Kitchen. My friend is a chef, so I really wanted her to experience the new menu with me. First, I have to give credit where credit is due. the customer service was top tier! We were greeted as soon as we walked up, and all of the ladies were so welcoming and nice. The bartenders were super nice as well, as was the GM. And of course, the aesthetic of The Bungalow never fails. The space is beautiful and definitely still has that Bungalow vibe. Our waiter, Devin, was great too! Now, on to the food... sadly, we were pretty underwhelmed. I hate that I have to agree with some of the Instagram comments I had seen about the kitchen because I really expected better, especially with all the hype surrounding Chef Eric and the new menu. One thing that really irked me was that our order of broccolini came out before everything else and sat there for about 20 minutes before our entrees arrived. Our waiter was kind enough to send out another order of broccolini once our entrees came, which I appreciated. They initially added it to the bill, but removed it once I mentioned it. The lasagna honestly tasted like something I could pick up already made from Whole Foods. The pork chop was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. The artichoke dish... I don't even really know what to say. The presentation wasn't great, and we kept pulling pieces of the shell out of our mouths, which was annoying. We had a couple of bites and just did away with it. The mussels were good, but there weren't very many. Mussels are pretty inexpensive, so it would have been nice to have a bit more, especially since they are small. The sauce had good flavor, and we ordered the baguette to dip into it, but it wasn't really a sauce in the traditional sense because it was pretty thin. I think it could have had more substance, especially considering they encourage you to spend $12 on a baguette to dip into it. One other thing I noticed was that Chef Eric was visiting some of the tables around us but never came over to ours. Maybe those were family and friends, so who knows, but considering there were barely any people in the restaurant, I do think it would have been nice for him to make his way around to all of the tables, especially on opening night. I will definitely be back to The Bungalow because I love the space, the people and the drinks. I'm just not sure if I'll be back for dinner. I'm willing to try some of the less expensive items and see how those are. Our dinner bill was around $250, in addition to the $40 we spent at the bar before sitting down. Unfortunately, for us, the food just wasn't worth the bill. Overall, we had a great experience with the staff and the atmosphere, but the food didn't live up to the expectations I had going in. Hopefully, some of these things improve because I really do want to see the kitchen succeed.

I really wanted to love The Bungalow's reopening and give it another chance. I had been there when…read moreit originally opened a few years ago, and although the beautiful setting and location were always a plus, the atmosphere eventually became more club-like with the DJ, which just wasn't my vibe. When I heard they were reopening with a new chef, I was genuinely excited to try it again. First, I want to emphasize that this review is strictly about the food. Everything else was great. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the ambience, atmosphere, views, and location are all wonderful. There is plenty of nearby parking, shops, and other restaurants, making it a great location overall. The staff was also excellent. Our servers were attentive and friendly, and Donald, the manager, was very understanding. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the service or the people working there. Unfortunately, the food was a completely different story. There were four of us dining together, and none of us enjoyed our entrées. I actually felt bad saying anything because we weren't trying to get a free meal or complain just to complain. We genuinely did not like the food. We each left roughly 90% of our entrées on the plates and didn't take them home. I'm not a particularly picky eater, which made this even more disappointing. To me, the food tasted like it had a very processed, canned or frozen quality rather than tasting fresh and freshly prepared. That is the one area that really needs improvement. We still tipped our server because the food was not her fault, and the service itself was good. I truly hope they take the food quality seriously because The Bungalow has so much going for it. The setting, ambience, views, location, parking, and staff are all there. If they can step up the food, I really think they could have a winning combination and a fantastic restaurant. I'm giving three stars strictly because of the food. Everything else deserves high marks. I sincerely hope they improve the menu and food preparation because I would genuinely like to come back and give them another try.

A patron heard and told us to just seat ourselves. ...had I left, I definitely would've given this place 1 stars for such awkward service .... Anyway, I'm assuming the owner, who was also at the bar gave us menus once we sat down. Ordered tuna nachos, fish tacos and a burger. Tuna nachos -surprisingly fish was fresh and tasty. This was a very tasty dish. Fish tacos, I didnt try but my partner said it was delicious and very filling. My burger, I request medium but it came out well-done.
