Our waiter Sean was terrific and super attentive. The hostess also went out of her way to accommodate our table request. We were very impressed especially since it was the last night of OC Restaurant Week and berry crowded.

Another wonderful dinner at The Bungalow. We snuck in on the last night of OC Restaurant Week. Peter enjoyed the Corn Chowder Soup, 10 oz. lobster tail with mashed potatoes. And creamy Cheesecake (to go). So amazing. I had the Blackened Salmon and it was perfect. The sauce was Devine and a dollop of guacamole on top were so flavorful. And guacamole had a little crunch to it. Thank you! Deirdre

I have always wanted to come and try this restaurant and was happy to see they were in Restaurant week. Loved their menu and the reviews so I took my son and daughter-in-law here for dinner. We were so pleasantly surprised on how good everything was -cocktails,food, service etc...We will definitely be back.

My husband and I ate here during restaurant week. Our food was amazing. He had the filet and I had the seabass and both of us ate every last bite. The staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.

We ordered from the "Restaurant Week" specials. All courses offered large portions. Excellent quality of food and preparation. Service was a little rushed - entree was served within one minute of first course dishes being picked up! We had "take home" bags with leftovers. Great restaurant and staff!

Excellent dinner. Seabass was especially delicious and perfectly cooked. The Restaurant Week special right now is a great deal. We would definitely go back.

Let's start with the Calamari, definitely in the top three of all time. WOW!! Three course meal was very good! I had the Sea Bass and my friend had the filet mignon (slightly over cooked for medium) the sea bass was fantastic! Salad is always fresh and dessert (crème brûlée and cheesecake) is always a good idea. I will be back next week for Calamari and champagne during happy hour.

I asked for a booth (I called prior to our 6:15 reservation) but was told they were already taken. There were 2 booths open when we arrived, but I didn't say anything. I was taking friends from out of town who had never been to The Bungalow before and was disappointed that we didn't get a booth so we could have a quiet conversation.

The service was superb, relaxed and crisp, very attentive. Drinks were delicious, adventurous and came quick (smoke dirty martini and barrel aged Manhattan). Food was cooked perfectly, the right size portions at the right price. We loved it and will return, it has a locals, neighborhood feel.
First time visitor, but won't be our last. Excellent food, professional service and reasonable pricing. Small dining room, however, did not feel cramped. Had the 3 course special (lobster pot pie and filet with Bungalow salads). Karl

This was a gem of a place. It's very cozy in the booths. The food was exquisite. I had the bone-in ribeye and it was prepared perfectly. Their staff was attentive and charming. I'll definitely return.

We frequented the Bungalow in the early 2000's and decided the best place to take our son and girlfriend on his 18th birthday is Bungalow! Our Server Annie was wonderfully professional, helpful and tended to us exactly when needed - and the food and atmosphere was absolutely perfect! Just enjoy the right amount noise and energy with the championing tastes the chef and staff prepared to dance in our mouth. Thank you and thank you, well done.

We live very close to the Bungalow, but haven't been for awhile. As I was out of town during the week, we celebrated Valentine's Day on Friday. I wanted this to be a special evening - it was not. I requested an upstairs booth and they attempted to seat us on top of people at a 2-top 6" away from our neighbors. I refused and we were seated in a lower generic dining room - very bright with zero charm. The food was pretty good, but expensive given the experience. Our waiter tried hard, but forgot some of the food we ordered (good that it wasn't on the bill). With so many choices out there, it wasn't memorable and we will avoid next time.

Great wine selections and generous cocktails, and fabulous prime steaks & seafood. Arguably the absolute best cheeseburgers in OC made from Prime Ground Beef. Currently featuring a selection of three corse meals for $50, an incredible value.
