Hear from our valued guests
Desserts fell short but the food and service was A+. First time dining here and look forward to coming again.
Decided to try Bungalow 44 based on a recommendation, and I’m sure glad we did. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, warm hospitality, and great food. Started off with Hamachi Peppers, which were absolutely bonkers—so tasty! The steak tartare was good, as were the Corn Ribs, quite innovative with a nice sauce and a twist on the usual way of eating corn. Short ribs as a main, with mushroom risotto substituted for mash, were astonishing. Perfectly salted with lots of flavor. The fried chicken was okay. I’ve never understood the concept that well, as the meat is usually quite dry and all the taste is pretty much in the crust. Easy 5/5
We went to bungalow 44 this past weekend and we’re not disappointed! We started off with the hamachi poppers and steak tartare. Both were delicious and a perfect start to the meal. Paired with the starters was an old-fashioned cocktail - very well made. Next, we ordered a few dishes to go with our entrée, we enjoyed the cornbread, the corn ribs, and the gnocchi. The corn ribs were by far the stand out with a fun presentation and delicious sauce. For our entrée, we ordered the pork chop. It came with delicious sides, including polenta and peaches. Unfortunately the pork chop was a little overcooked although they were super busy, so I’m sure the kitchen had a lot going on.
My friends live in Mill Valley and couldn’t have chosen a better spot for dinner than Bungalow 44. We sat indoors as outdoors was full and had a great time. From the cocktails 🍹 to $1 oysters 🦪 to the hamachi poppers to fish to the flatbread to the dessert everything was delicious. Our server was really nice too, I didn’t catch his name but when I mentioned I’m from Thailand he spoke to me in Thai which was cool! Would definitely go back to Bungalow and recommend it to anyone looking for a nicer spot for dinner in Mill Valley.
Loved my experience at Bungalow 44 in Mill Valley! The steak frites was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I also had a spicy margarita that was bold, refreshing, and just the right amount of heat. The service was fantastic—super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The tropical-inspired ambiance made the whole place feel fun and relaxing. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!
We have eaten here several times. The food is always excellent and the service staff are stellar.
Excellent place I love that they always receive you even if you don’t have a reservation and the food is always excellent their fried chicken the best in the area
It’s a great place for a romantic date. The cocktails are wonderful and the food is a seasonal menu. We had the chicken paillard and the roast cauliflower which is simply delicious. The atmosphere is great. Definitely make a reservation though. Their selling point is that they have a 2 person booth. Very rare to find those!
I had not been here for many years but will now certainly add it to my favorites. The cooking is absolutely first rate. Someone in the kitchen really knows what they are doing. Professional service too. The gazpacho was unique and awesome. Salmon perfectly soft and warm inside. Barramundi nice and crispy. One quibble: the menu justifies a 4% service fee because of "record inflation". The average 3% inflation over the past five years is hardly a record compared to the 13% levels seen around 1980. The tariffs and deficits may get us to record territory some day, but we are not there now. It would be sufficient to say there is a service fee to better pay staff.
The food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly. From 5 to 6 PM oysters are only $1 and they were incredibly delicious. I especially liked the oyster sauce. Overall, the atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend! 💗
