Absolutely incredible experience, every time! We’ve been here several times and have never been at all disappointed. The food is always thoughtful, nuanced, and delicious. Wine and drinks are next level, and the staff do a wonderful job of helping with selection. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and very very kind. My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary here and they brought us extra arancini and champagne. We will always come back!

We went for dinner and loved it. Truly one of the best restaurants in Minneapolis. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. We loved the smorgasbord and the pappardelle pasta. The buttermilk panna cotta was also delicious. Highly recommend!

The arancini is to die for. Small but versatile menu with something for everyone. The ingredients are very fresh and everything made fresh to order. My one complaint is that my rigatoni pasta was a bit on the edge of being undercooked. I love the intimate and clean atmosphere.

Food 10/10. Service 10/10. Vibes 10/10.
Had dinner on Saturday and it was easily one of my favorite meals of 2025 so far. Arancini is a must, sourdough toast with whipped salami was delightful and the pasta was amazing. The service was so great, which always makes a dining experience that much better. I’ve been for the burger night on Wednesdays, and that’s a super fun vibe too! Definitely recommend and will be back soon.

Sunday pasta and trap music was SO fun, we were delighted by the s’mores roasting outside!

We sat at the bar for dinner. As the restaurant got busier during the night we got lost. Another bartender was needed for sure. We had our food order in but when the restaurant started filling up, our food took way to long to arrive. The food was really good but quite sparce on the plate. There was no side (like rice or vegetable), just the entree as stated. Prices were high with nothing but the entree offered. We definitely were not too full after our dinner. We do not live close to this restaurant so I don't see us making a special trip back.

Initially I was displeased with my second visit to TBC. Was very busy, felt understaffed and my party felt underserved lacking a positive experience. However, the GM Kelsey reached out and was very pleasant and professional in helping me understand why the night went the way that it did. She remained supportive of her team while still validating our frustrations. Good on Kelsey for being a positive leader at a one of a kind spot in our neighborhood. Third time is a charm right? Back for the Brussels, crispy deviled eggs and maybe a burger. Thanks Kelsey!

Man, we were pretty excited to try this place due to reviews but we were pretty disappointed with quality and temperature of our food. We got the Arancini and the bruschetta. Both were good flavor wise. Moving on to the pasta; I got the tagliatelle and my partner got bucatini. Tagliatelle looked great but i was astonished at how flavorless it was and how it did not come out hot at all. I tried switching with my partner because we were both planning on sharing, and the bucatini also came out cold? This made the dish super pepper heavy due to that being the only flavor coming through. Had a lot of potential if it was hot. Ultimately, I gave both plates to partner and ate at home. Unfortunately the rest of our table wasn’t too pleased and had similar issues. Super disappointed for spending $40 bucks each after app, entree, and dessert split amongst 5

A fun night with friends. Food was good but not great. Wine a little over priced. Lively crowd.

This was truly a surprising disappointment. We were excited to go here for restaurant week given the great reviews. We were familiar with prior restaurants in this space, and it has not changed much. It is looking a little bit tired, and they also decided to have some cheesy Halloween decorations that did not fit well.
Anyway, the food itself was downright bad. All four of us had lukewarm to cold meals, but given the intermittent absence of our server it did not make sense to try to send it back. My salad was acceptable, other than about half of the squash in the salad was so undercooked that it took some serious jaw power to eat. My main course of pork coppa could have been good, but it came across more like a pile of lukewarm deli meat on a bed of undercooked Brussel sprouts mixed with some pretty good mustard and horseradish. My wife's swordfish au poivre was equally unbalanced and not great. The chocolate budino dessert was just meh. The wine and drinks were fine.
This restaurant adds a mandatory 20% service fee. I have no problem with this generally, but it seems like it only works when the staff is engaged and excited about what the establishment is doing. This staff, with the exception of the host, did not project much engagement, and our server in particular did not rise to the level expected at a restaurant at this price point.
Needless to say, we did not linger, and we will not be going back.

A true gem of a place. I’m so happy to have unearthed this treasure of a place. Wednesday burger club is amazing.
Kudos to the chef and staff of the Bungalow Club. Not only do you folks make some tasty dishes I think about for days afterward, but you all make people feel at home.
Recently had the pleasure of dining in for my friends' reception and good Lord I was stuffed to the gills because every item was so delicious. The staff were so kind and warm and accommodating the whole time
My personal faves were the Arancini (of course) and the Ricotta Dumplings.
Looking forward to taking more friends and family there!
