This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The fries are a must! The short ribs risotto is incredibly tender and savory. The fried chicken is juicy, and the sauce is absolutely delicious. The only downside was that it was very cold inside — especially if you sit next to the window, the cold air blows directly on you.

Have eaten here several times and unfortunately the service has really fallen off. What's up? Bad management is likely the cause. Untrained busboys (serving across other diners while they're eating?) Not picking up dishes/glasses so that we had to place some on the ground next to us to have room for the next course? The two Bills need to take a closer look... Not true of their other local restaurants, La Playa or the Buckeye. And oysters have been better too!

The food was mediocre at best. Happy hour only applies to oysters. Very lovely bit really don't bothered unless you want oysters, only Monday-Thursday.

Food was delish, service excellent. What else do you need from a restaurant?
What a delightful place to eat...the hosts were very accommodating when we wanted to switch tables..food was great. We hit the end of the oyster hour, so our oysters were pretty meatless, but for a buck each, who's gonna complain?

We were all talking about how nasty and rude the hostess was. She wouldn’t even make eye contact with us. Her Christmas spirit was clearly in the garbage. We all couldn’t even deal with it and immediately left to go to a different restaurant. Disgusting

So fun! A real bar, with REAL bartenders, and a great Happy Hour. Bungalow 44 is part of a small regional group of restaurants that provide great service, great food and a steady client focused service regimen.
A great place in Mill Valley.

This review is many years too late. Pre-covid. Wife and I stopped in without a reservation on a weekday. I noticed an empty table in front of the fireplace and asked about that table. The server said it has been reserved for 7:30pm. It was 6pm and I told him that we will not have dessert, just an appetizer and entree and leave; and that you can pace us to make sure we are done after 1:15 hours. Done! Had great service, the food was great, and I still think about that experience often. Sorry for being so late with the review!

Food was amazing, ambiance great, service unfortunately pretty bad!! I came in there this Saturday 10/18, my fiance and I got engaged that morning overseeing the sunrise on Golden Gate. We didn't plan anything for dinner and were walk ins Saturday. Our server was a lady probably in her 50's or 60's. Food was incredible, but unfortunately she sucked!! She barely came by, food took forever, she came by and asked how the food was after we were done. Had to flag down another server to get our bill. I waited tables for over 8 years through high school/college, I find it unacceptable to not even ask a guest if they have been there. She didn't go over anything on the menu, I was excited to tell her we got engaged, but she didn't even acknowledge us or ask a single question to even get to that conversation. Food was amazing, but servers like her ruin an amazing experience.

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.
