    shrimp toast
    Minh-Chau D.

    Beautiful restaurant and amazing service but the food is such a miss. Menu feels like an attempt at Asian fusion, but the flavors are so lacking, especially compared to all the fusion restaurants in the Bay Area. Also, at that price point, it's underwhelming and crosses into disappointing. Beautiful presentation and buzz word ingredients but the food delivery falls short. Shrimp toast - this was so strange. The shrimp is fused on top of "toast" that tastes stale, oily, and spongey all at once. I hated the mouth feel of this one. Roasted half chicken is trying to be expensive fusion Hainan chicken but the rice is not good and the chicken is salty. Uni squid ink pasta was also extremely salty.

    Tuna tartare (sesame crisps not shown) - fresh and satisfying app as entree
    Tina W.

    Update - under new management and I have to say that as much as I enjoyed the earlier version of this restaurant, I felt "more at home" with both the menu and the staff and would now consider this as more than a fancy occasion restaurant for those living in the area. Portions are generous and well executed, I think you get what you pay for and I would return for the tuna tartare and the grilled asparagus as a light supper any day. My spouse enjoyed the steak frites and would order again and the burger and French dip looked good on neighboring tables. We dined outside for the first time at a cosy table watching the revers sunset chasing daylight, a beautiful way to end the work week. See you soon!

    Went for a special occasion recently and had seen great things about this place. Turned out we went during the first week of new ownership after Michael Mina left to do a new endeavor. While a few of the dishes we had heard about were gone from the menu (Mina specialties) they had a solid listing of staples and I understand they're working on formally relaunching the restaurant with a bunch of new dishes. The vibe is great (5Star) - good seating with each table having something fun to look at, be it the bar or the ocean, and the music was groovy for lack of a better word. Food was 4 stars but the steak, tipped me back into 5 star category. We had the spicy tuna roll which appeased our sushi desire, the Caesar salad for some greens, and the Delmonico Ribeye with carrots. The steak was phenomenal and I paired it with a Vesper Martini which was mixed expertly. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what the new owners do on the relaunch.

    Crab Empanadas

    What a great way to spend a mid-week afternoon. Amazing views - great vibe / music - comfy sitting, with a laid back elegant ambiance. Our waiter was attentive - when asked he gave his favorites - and they did not disappoint. He was "Spot On"! We started our food journey with the Crab Empanadas - followed with one of the best Sea Bass entrées we've ever had. (The fish melts in your mouth w/ a sweet Asian fusion taste). The Chocolate cake was the perfect way to end our night. A must try when you go to Tiburon! P.s. after our meal we took a stroll and enjoyed the bay views. You may want to plan that in :)

    Came for Mother's Day lunch with a party of 10 and was seated upstairs in the sunroom area. It was a really nice room, especially with the sun shining and the SF skyline outside of the window. Service was fairly attentive - there was only one slight hiccup with one entree not coming out until around 5 minutes after everyone's dish so we had to wait. Pretty good selection of signature cocktails. The Liquid Gold was refreshing and not that strong. As for the food, we got the tartare, crab empanada, bungalow Benedict, and the phyllo crusted pork chop. The tartare was fresh and not fishy at all, but was missing some salt. Crab empanada was great. The cilantro avocado puree and aioli complemented the crab well. Eggs Benedict was standard. It was nice that it came with a model bakery English muffin, but nothing stood out. Pork chop was fried very well. Crispy exterior but soft inside. It was a pretty hefty cut as well. I expected more from the taverna fries but it seemed like standard frozen fries. The chimichurri sauce was good but had an aioli texture, which was weird but still good taste wise. To end, the butterscotch budino was fairly light and had a good sweetness. All in all, the lunch was still enjoyable especially with the view. I do wish there was that wow factor in some of the dishes to better match the price.

    Caesar salad and tomato salad / both delicious
    Pamela G.

    I can't comment on what it was like at the Bungalow Kitchen in the "before" days people keep referring to since this was my first visit. I thought it was really good and the service was excellent. We got the brunch price fix and three out of four things were excellent. One could have used some improvement . We each got a salad to start . My Caesar salad was a very large portion and one of the best I've had. My husband loved the tomato salad with burrata and pesto and olives. The grilled salmon with summer squash was also a generous size and very good. The Bungalow Benedict was somewhat disappointing-- crammed on s much too small plate and the hollandaise was cold. It wasn't awful but just not up to the standard it should be especially at that price. Home fries were hot and tasty. Nice looking place with a wall of windows looking out at the water. We had to ask to move our seats because the chairs were too low for the tables ( in our opinion) but our waiter was very nice and it was not a problem. We had a nice view of the water. We parked on the street on a Saturday mid morning with no problem. Waiter, host and bussers were all great. It was quite a pleasant experience.

    Dark Chocolate Cake - Best Ever!!
    Roger W.

    What a treat... Hadn't been to the location since it was Guaymas - what a transition. Same beautiful views, upscale interior that goes with the casual like atmosphere. Outside seating was relaxing and the views complimented the evening. Nice to see staff members with smiles on their faces, don't always see that at a restaurant! Fharid was the server, ever attentive, but just enough! What's important...the food! Romaine Caesar Salad - just enough of the flavorful dressing to compliment the salad. Roasted Half Chicken - tender and absolutely delicious. Portions were very filling. A wonderful homemade peach mint chutney enhanced the flavor option if you so wished. I love chutney, wished I could buy a bottle to take home! Dark Chocolate Cake - words can't describe how good it was! Dark chocolate cake, sour cherries, fresh whipped cream - a piece of chocolate art. Hated to destroy the dessert, but I did! It was decided I should meet the baker. She came out and I thanked her again for the beautiful and flavorful surprise. The Bungalow Kitchen: Great evening, wonderful food, atmosphere is superb, lucky to live nearby.

    Sooo much better since the new owners took over! The steak and crème brûlée cheesecake was 10/10. Same with the meatballs. The service was also fantastic! I'm so excited at all the positive changes Bungalow is making to make this a great community/focused neighborhood spot.

    We visited twice within one week. The first visit was for a business dinner in their private dining room, which comfortably seats 10 (12 if you squeeze). The room is lovely, and both the food and service were solid. We selected one of their prix fixe menus, which was reasonably priced for an all-inclusive dinner (alcohol not included), and overall it was a good experience. Based on that visit, we returned for a second meal, which unfortunately did not live up to the first. While the restaurant has a great view, it can only really be enjoyed if you're seated outside. The food was inconsistent: the butter lettuce salad was bland and came with very few pieces of hearts of palm, though the tuna tartare was excellent. The biggest disappointment was the Delmonico steak. It was served barely warm and covered in a demi-glace-style sauce that overpowered rather than complemented the meat. Since this was the main course, it significantly impacted the overall meal. The mushroom pasta was flavorful but served in a very small portion. One standout was the cheesecake brûlée, which our server recommended and which was excellent. If you're coming from outside Tiburon, it's a bit of a trek and parking is not free. Service was excellent on both visits, but the inconsistency between meals makes this a three-star experience overall.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent! I views are breathtaking! Definitely would return for brunch.

    Key lime pie
    Veronica A.

    This is such a cute place. The food was delicious. Portions were a bit small, but, it's the norm when it's a nice place. Our server Juan Carmelo was amazing. He was attentive and friendly. The views are fantastic! What we ordered: Petite ROmaine Ceasar Salad = 9/10 Jalapeno Lobster Toast = 10/10 Delmonico Ribeye = 10/10 Miso-Broiled Sea Bass = 9/10 Key Lime Pie = 10/10 I want to return and try the Lobster Pot Pie and some oysters!

    My family and I greatly enjoyed dining here to celebrate my birthday during brunch last Sunday. The music- forward ambience was unique and inviting. The soundtrack was perfect! We loved the full bar and the fact that they had the Super Bowl on! Views of the serene Bay were absolutely picturesque and the decor/seating was cushy and inviting. Our waiter was excellent and knowledgeable and we didn't have one bad dish! My toddler loved the buttered noodles (they seemed freshly made), the cocktails, Shakshuka and Cesar salad were so delicious. I also loved the Tartare and fried mushrooms. Cannot wait to return. I can see my family and I celebrating plenty more special occasions at The BK

    Jalapeño Lobster Toast - starter - delicious
    Cheryl M.

    Had a wonderful Saturday Brunch the weekend before Thanksgiving - not crowded, perfect weather and delicious food. Enjoyed the Price Fixed Menu ($49) with a selection of an appetizer and entree. First visit and shared the following: :: Tempura Maitake - light, crunchy, meaty but mild earthy flavor and sprinkled with Togarashi and side of Yuzu aioli 3.5/5 :: Jalapeno Lobster Toast with sesame - flavorful, crunchy, nutty with a hint of sweet seafood flavor - 4/5 :: Creme Brulee Toast - with berry compote and vanilla bean marscapone - crispy, crunchy sweet exterior and custardy interior. With a well balanced compote - not overly sweet and that marscapone was so good! - 5/5 :: Double Double Burger - usually wouldn't order a burger but it's a Michael Mina burger so it's gotta be good! It was crispy on the outside with some char and perfectly cooked inside with American cheese and secret sauce - 5/5 House crinkle fries - 3.5/5 - crispy (enough) but not my fave style of fries. Just a preference Overall, food was 4 stars and delicious. Service was on point, friendly, welcoming and not forced. David was our server (Table 92) and was very efficient and professional. Service elevated this visit to 5 stars. Seating outside was nice but not the most comfortable cushions. I felt like I was sinking....lol...Weather was warm but they had the outdoor patio heaters on so got a bit too warm. Bring your sunglasses as you think you'll be enjoying the water view but end up turning your back due to the sun shining on your face. I saw 2 customers at different tables doing just that. Would definitely return for dinner. Price/person with tax/tip: $70 and 2 non-alcoholic drinks. Parking nearby for 3 hrs $15.

    Ask the Community - The Bungalow Kitchen

    Does it have a piano?

    Did not see a piano but it was crazy that day...

    Where disabled people can park?

    The restaurant offers valet service. For self park, perhaps you can call the restaurant for the closest designated parking spaces reserved for individuals with disabilities.

    Is it dog friendly? Ok to bring dogs in outdoor seating?

    Yes, dogs ok outside

    Is it super dressy?

    We went during brunch and it was a mix of people very casually dressed while others were dressed up a bit. So whatever your comfort!

    Do you have vegan options?

    No. We called 2 days in advance asking just for a vegetarian option (not vegan) & were incorrectly told they could accommodate. Two hours after arrival after sitting and waiting they offered a salad.

    Does it become 21 and over after a certain time?

    Friday and Saturday for Late Night - after 10pm yes it is 21+

    Is there a Happy Hour?

    Yes Wed-Sun 4-6pm they offer Sunset Sips with Cocktail, Beer & Wine specials + a lite bites menu

    Is this place still open? Went to the address and could not find the restaurant. Update: found it!…

    The restaurant is in the back, towards the water. Not easy to find, but valet parking is offered.

    What's the parking situation? Off-street? Valet, how much?

    I believe valet was $10. They have street parking nearby (as you're driving towards the restaurant), and I believe those lots are free after 5pm. There is also a parking garage (paid) as well as a larger paid parking lot.

    Can we just pop in for a drink at the bar without a reservation?

    Yes! Sitting at the bar is fun. I'd arrive on the earlier side like 5:30. It gets crowded.

    Do you have gift certificates available for purchase?

    Absolutely, you can come in anytime we are open and purchase a gift certificate. Inquire at the host stand or your server if you are dining.

    Are dogs allowed in the outdoor searing area? Many thanks

    If they're not allowed, call Yelp and have them change the info section.

We split the lobster Benedict and fish tacos; both hearty dishes and both not cheap. But both were delicious and filling. The hollandaise sauce on the Benny was so light and fresh accompanied with perfect breakfast potatoes. The fish tacos were full of fish with the bright slaw being the star. We ate a little after the lunch rush and were able to leisurely enjoy lunch and talk without being rushed. Ambiance was great. Downtown Tiburon is so cute! Such a great little destination to explore.

There was something indescribable, though, that hinted that they rely on the picturesque views to make up for food that is "good" - but not "great." Let's start on a positive note. You can't beat the view. Our server was well informed about the menu, attentive, and friendly - but unwilling to help too much with the menu selections. "Everything is good" is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but I'm not holding this against the rating of this restaurant as that's pretty server-specific. We started with a half dozen local oysters on the half shell which were actually amazing. Perhaps the most mild tasting oysters I have ever had and served with a champagne mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh horseradish - all of which paired nicely. For my main course, I had the petrale sole - a very mild, delicate, Pacific flatfish. While flaky and tender, it did lack flavor and was served with some relatively uninspired accompaniments - a saffron rice and some roasted vegetables which was mostly green beans and celery. One of my friends ordered the paella which he said was "great." Overall very decent experience on par with so many other coastal restaurants that know they can fill the seats with the amazing views alone. I would definitely come back - but would likely order something different... except for the oysters - those were a must to order again!

As for the food, I wouldn't describe it as exceptional--it's decent but fairly average. If judging the food alone, the prices feel rather high and difficult to justify.

Since it is located in a popular tourist destination, the higher prices are understandable, though still a little excessive in my opinion.
