We had reservations for restaurant week but we were running late so we called in to give them notice. The host who answered the phone said, “thanks for letting us know. We’ll see you soon.” When we arrived, we found out they gave up our table because we were late but acknowledged that they had just spoken to us. It was very rude of them to not let us know over the phone. Just be upfront. They sat us at the end of the bar in a corner with zero lighting. We couldn’t see what we were eating and drinking so we had to use our flashlight every time. When I mentioned how dark it was where we were sitting, the server said, “I assure you it’s dark over there too. It just looks like a lot of lighting,” while pointing at the seating area. That was very condescending. The food was subpar other than the pasta which was phenomenal. We will definitely come back for pasta.

Not worth the price. The brussel sprouts were great but everything else was not. They kept bringing us the wrong drinks.

I've been here a handful of times for their coursed menu and most recently the offerings were delicious. From the parsnip soup to the fried gnocchi, and then the black cod which had the crispiest skin I've ever tasted on a fish combined with melt in your mouth tenderness underneath. Still thinking about how they were able to achieve that.Basically, do their coursed meal and come hungry and you will not be disappointed.

An amazing dinner for 8. The oysters with the beets are the best oysters around. The smorgasbord was so impressive, and the service was amazing. This is a Minneapolis

Came in to get Andrews New Years Eve menu a day early tonight. Doll stated it was the best meal she has ever had from Andrew and crew! I think there have been many! As always, Andrew and crew spoil us every visit. We picked our four courses, For me, bay scallops, sweet potato soup, octopus and pasta, and duck confit. Doll had the Braised meat balls, sweet potato soup, tortellini, and salmon. It amazes me how Andrew can balance flavors and then teach the other chefs to do it! He then proceeded to spoil us by also bringing out four other dishes, dry cured ham, Suppli, which is a fried arborio ball containing Pecorino, garlic and pepper. Also, mushroom polenta, and farm carrots. All the dishes seemed to fit right in, wonderful balance of flavor and texture. If you cannot make it in on the 31st, he will be serving a similar menu on Valentines day.

I really wanted to like it. My friends love coming here. Maybe it was an off night for the restaurant.Brussel sprouts were good and had flavor.Beef Burger was fine but I wouldn’t go back for it. Pork melt claimed it had jalapeño pesto. I could not taste it. People next to me got the same sandwich with a different bread for the patty melt. I am unsure which one is correct. And lastly the jojos claimed to be triple fried, honestly was expecting that to mean the exterior was extra crispy but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it was not so maybe it’s just my expectations of what that means. Fry sauce was notably bad. It just tasted like mayo.Service was weird and I wish they just maybe stated they were understaffed and apologized but I had to ask for plates for appetizers, water, and glasses for our drinks that came in a can. They were nice but strangely aloof it was hard to get what was happening. That is kind of a bummer when this place charges more and has a 20% charge on it. I hope it was a one off for them but was a bummer experience overall and probably won’t go back.

Emma was our waitress and she and the team were fabulous. Food was devine. We bought ham salad for tomorrow and we already broke in to it. Fabulous as well!

One of my husband and I‘s favorite neighborhood go to places. Burger night is amazing and Sunday pasta night with homemade pasta is out of this world. Chef Andrews the best! Prices aren’t super cheap but you can find things within your price range. Sitting at the bar is always fun!

Love pasta n trap. The Arancini are always amazing, my kids love the pasta and red for kids. Tonight my 13yo ordered a half dozen of oysters and sucked them down like a pro.The whipped butter for the focaccia is delicious and spot on.

We’ve wanted to go here for sometime and decided to try it out for restaurant week.The food was good not great, and our server was lackluster for a high end restaurant (waited for 20min at start and finish, forgot orders, couldn’t explain the dishes, etc.).It was $45 for the tasting meal each and we added on two $11 pasta dishes, Smorgasbord, and a wine bottle across 4 people. The check was $380, which seemed crazy expenses for the experience we got. Felt like “Alma” but with worse service and vibe.The best bite of the night was the trout and cheese and the smorgasbord.

Finally tried Bungalow Club and it did NOT disappoint! Went with friends on Wednesday, which happens to be burger night. We each tried a different burger and shared some sides. The salad, jojo potatoes and risotto balls! I had the beef burger, one friend had fish burger and another had pork patty melt. Amazing! Probably the best cheese burger I've ever had! Definitely will be back! My only regret, I forgot to take pictures of the food!

Fantastic neighborhood spot, we opted for the family feast which everyone in your group has to agree on for $62/pp. Holy moly is there a lot of food, basically the whole menu so come hungry, Graciously portioned out per person. Our server was informative and accommodating even though we had no special requests. I think the minestrone soup, melon salad, and risotto were favorites. Menu changes so frequently it seems to come for what's in season. The ambiance is casual yet sophisticated and minimal. Some French influence but pasta seems to be a fan favorite and made in house. We'll be back! Highly recommendParking: About 5 spots around back are dedicated to patrons

Great food experience. One thing I will say that I was a little disappointed by was the large amount of pork foods on the smorgasbord. I would have loved to see more different types of cheese and pickles/olives/nuts and things like that. Other than that, fantastic. Absolutely amazing arctic char.

The Bungalow Club is an upscale neighborhood restaurant. We decided to opt for the chef's feast for our table of 4. The meal was delicious and exciting as you don't quite know what the chef will choose to make you. The weather was gorgeous so we dined on the patio. The meal was pricey, but I feel like it was fair for how much food we got.
