The bar is like a cross between a tiki bar and a halloween theme spot, but it does not give off a haunted tiki bar feel, though the decorations lean that way. The cocktails I had was good.

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.

We also ordered the ube Basque cheesecake, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had recently--rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Our server, Sergio, made the experience even better.

I'll definitely be back, and the cheesecake alone is worth another visit.

DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.
