    shrimp toast
    Minh-Chau D.

    Beautiful restaurant and amazing service but the food is such a miss. Menu feels like an attempt at Asian fusion, but the flavors are so lacking, especially compared to all the fusion restaurants in the Bay Area. Also, at that price point, it's underwhelming and crosses into disappointing. Beautiful presentation and buzz word ingredients but the food delivery falls short. Shrimp toast - this was so strange. The shrimp is fused on top of "toast" that tastes stale, oily, and spongey all at once. I hated the mouth feel of this one. Roasted half chicken is trying to be expensive fusion Hainan chicken but the rice is not good and the chicken is salty. Uni squid ink pasta was also extremely salty.

    Went for a special occasion recently and had seen great things about this place. Turned out we went during the first week of new ownership after Michael Mina left to do a new endeavor. While a few of the dishes we had heard about were gone from the menu (Mina specialties) they had a solid listing of staples and I understand they're working on formally relaunching the restaurant with a bunch of new dishes. The vibe is great (5Star) - good seating with each table having something fun to look at, be it the bar or the ocean, and the music was groovy for lack of a better word. Food was 4 stars but the steak, tipped me back into 5 star category. We had the spicy tuna roll which appeased our sushi desire, the Caesar salad for some greens, and the Delmonico Ribeye with carrots. The steak was phenomenal and I paired it with a Vesper Martini which was mixed expertly. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what the new owners do on the relaunch.

    What a great way to spend a mid-week afternoon. Amazing views - great vibe / music - comfy sitting, with a laid back elegant ambiance. Our waiter was attentive - when asked he gave his favorites - and they did not disappoint. He was "Spot On"! We started our food journey with the Crab Empanadas - followed with one of the best Sea Bass entrées we've ever had. (The fish melts in your mouth w/ a sweet Asian fusion taste). The Chocolate cake was the perfect way to end our night. A must try when you go to Tiburon! P.s. after our meal we took a stroll and enjoyed the bay views. You may want to plan that in :)

    Came for Mother's Day lunch with a party of 10 and was seated upstairs in the sunroom area. It was a really nice room, especially with the sun shining and the SF skyline outside of the window. Service was fairly attentive - there was only one slight hiccup with one entree not coming out until around 5 minutes after everyone's dish so we had to wait. Pretty good selection of signature cocktails. The Liquid Gold was refreshing and not that strong. As for the food, we got the tartare, crab empanada, bungalow Benedict, and the phyllo crusted pork chop. The tartare was fresh and not fishy at all, but was missing some salt. Crab empanada was great. The cilantro avocado puree and aioli complemented the crab well. Eggs Benedict was standard. It was nice that it came with a model bakery English muffin, but nothing stood out. Pork chop was fried very well. Crispy exterior but soft inside. It was a pretty hefty cut as well. I expected more from the taverna fries but it seemed like standard frozen fries. The chimichurri sauce was good but had an aioli texture, which was weird but still good taste wise. To end, the butterscotch budino was fairly light and had a good sweetness. All in all, the lunch was still enjoyable especially with the view. I do wish there was that wow factor in some of the dishes to better match the price.

    We visited twice within one week. The first visit was for a business dinner in their private dining room, which comfortably seats 10 (12 if you squeeze). The room is lovely, and both the food and service were solid. We selected one of their prix fixe menus, which was reasonably priced for an all-inclusive dinner (alcohol not included), and overall it was a good experience. Based on that visit, we returned for a second meal, which unfortunately did not live up to the first. While the restaurant has a great view, it can only really be enjoyed if you're seated outside. The food was inconsistent: the butter lettuce salad was bland and came with very few pieces of hearts of palm, though the tuna tartare was excellent. The biggest disappointment was the Delmonico steak. It was served barely warm and covered in a demi-glace-style sauce that overpowered rather than complemented the meat. Since this was the main course, it significantly impacted the overall meal. The mushroom pasta was flavorful but served in a very small portion. One standout was the cheesecake brûlée, which our server recommended and which was excellent. If you're coming from outside Tiburon, it's a bit of a trek and parking is not free. Service was excellent on both visits, but the inconsistency between meals makes this a three-star experience overall.

    The service is always great here. The ambiance is fun and interesting. I have tried the pot pie, sea bass and steaks in the past. Excellent food and drinks. Definitely recommend this restaurant for all the right reasons.

    This is such a cute place. The food was delicious. Portions were a bit small, but, it's the norm when it's a nice place. Our server Juan Carmelo was amazing. He was attentive and friendly. The views are fantastic! What we ordered: Petite ROmaine Ceasar Salad = 9/10 Jalapeno Lobster Toast = 10/10 Delmonico Ribeye = 10/10 Miso-Broiled Sea Bass = 9/10 Key Lime Pie = 10/10 I want to return and try the Lobster Pot Pie and some oysters!

    My family and I greatly enjoyed dining here to celebrate my birthday during brunch last Sunday. The music- forward ambience was unique and inviting. The soundtrack was perfect! We loved the full bar and the fact that they had the Super Bowl on! Views of the serene Bay were absolutely picturesque and the decor/seating was cushy and inviting. Our waiter was excellent and knowledgeable and we didn't have one bad dish! My toddler loved the buttered noodles (they seemed freshly made), the cocktails, Shakshuka and Cesar salad were so delicious. I also loved the Tartare and fried mushrooms. Cannot wait to return. I can see my family and I celebrating plenty more special occasions at The BK

    Jalapeño Lobster Toast - starter - delicious
    Cheryl M.

    Had a wonderful Saturday Brunch the weekend before Thanksgiving - not crowded, perfect weather and delicious food. Enjoyed the Price Fixed Menu ($49) with a selection of an appetizer and entree. First visit and shared the following: :: Tempura Maitake - light, crunchy, meaty but mild earthy flavor and sprinkled with Togarashi and side of Yuzu aioli 3.5/5 :: Jalapeno Lobster Toast with sesame - flavorful, crunchy, nutty with a hint of sweet seafood flavor - 4/5 :: Creme Brulee Toast - with berry compote and vanilla bean marscapone - crispy, crunchy sweet exterior and custardy interior. With a well balanced compote - not overly sweet and that marscapone was so good! - 5/5 :: Double Double Burger - usually wouldn't order a burger but it's a Michael Mina burger so it's gotta be good! It was crispy on the outside with some char and perfectly cooked inside with American cheese and secret sauce - 5/5 House crinkle fries - 3.5/5 - crispy (enough) but not my fave style of fries. Just a preference Overall, food was 4 stars and delicious. Service was on point, friendly, welcoming and not forced. David was our server (Table 92) and was very efficient and professional. Service elevated this visit to 5 stars. Seating outside was nice but not the most comfortable cushions. I felt like I was sinking....lol...Weather was warm but they had the outdoor patio heaters on so got a bit too warm. Bring your sunglasses as you think you'll be enjoying the water view but end up turning your back due to the sun shining on your face. I saw 2 customers at different tables doing just that. Would definitely return for dinner. Price/person with tax/tip: $70 and 2 non-alcoholic drinks. Parking nearby for 3 hrs $15.

    HIDDEN HAVEN The bungalow kitchen was a stunning restaurant that will absolutely be going back to again. I'm also so thankful that their food matches the location. It is a bit on the price your side however I believe the experience is absolutely worth it. We finished with a bottle of the NA white wine, a coffee, the chocolate cake. We started the night with the beef tartare roll, the tuna tartare, broccolini, and the 8 oz sirloin steak. The food was absolutely superb. I will say the broccoli was delicious but $20 for broccolini is just kind of a lot and the tuna tartar roll was small but it was honestly absolutely delicious and would get again. The filet mignon was delicious, and the meat was extremely soft and delicious. The service was also ridiculously good and we were celebrating a friend's birthday and they brought out a little pastry for her. Our server was the sweetest girl and we had so much fun with her! (Forgot her name) Please go and try if u haven't!

    Squid ink pasta - on point.
    Matt H.

    Tried the Bungalow Kitchen last night. As a Michael Mina fan I already had a pretty good idea about how the experience would be and it matched my expectations. I expected a busy, upscale dining experience with a busy dining room and familiar menu compared to other places like Bourbon Steak. As expected everything I had was on point. Service was good. The view of SF on a clear January night was spectacular, and overall the experience was worth the trip out to Tiburon. Rather than dive into each dish this time I'll just say the squid ink pasta I had was very good. I'd return.

    Baby apps and heavy mezcal pours.
    Ian Nicholas L.

    3/5 stars -- Potential Without the Payoff Came out for Mother's Day with high hopes -- booked the patio specifically for the occasion, so when weather forced it closed, it wasn't the end of the world, but it did set the tone for a meal that kept promising more than it delivered. Service was warm and genuinely friendly, but noticeably sluggish for a special occasion dinner. The cocktail menu leans hard into "curated house creations," but the execution left little room for nuance -- the Mezcal Negroni was essentially just a glass of Mezcal wearing a Negroni costume. If the base spirit is going to be that forward, it needs to be intentional, not a shortcut. Appetizers were decent but felt almost apologetically small -- the kind of portions that make you wonder if they're building anticipation or just cutting costs. The mains told a similar story. Generous in size, sure, but each dish had at least one thing you couldn't ignore: the lobster pot pie needed more depth and richness to justify itself, the pork came out dry, the salmon's romesco skewed so sweet it lost all its savory backbone, and the hanger steak -- despite being listed as a featured cut -- was surprisingly undersized. The bones of something great are clearly here: a fun concept, a nice space, a staff that cares. But right now the kitchen isn't finishing its sentences. Oh, and the dessert? waaaay too sweet and inedible. I'd give it another shot on a better night -- hopefully the execution catches up to the ambition.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Our brunch experience at The Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon was nothing short of exceptional,a perfectly curated journey through flavor, elegance, and hospitality. We opted for the Brunch Prix Fixe menu ($49 per person), selecting two appetizers and two entrées, and every single dish exceeded expectations. To begin, the Jalapeño Lobster Toast was a standout. The lobster was incredibly tender and sweet, elevated by a delicate kick from the jalapeño, the ginger aïoli added a subtle warmth. Each bite was layered, balanced, and deeply satisfying. Equally impressive was Michael Mina's Ahi Tuna Tartare (well worth the supplement). This dish was a masterpiece of freshness and complexity. The tuna was pristine, melting in the mouth, while the combination of mint, chilis, and Asian pear created a mix of coolness, heat, and sweetness. The pine nuts added a welcome crunch, and the garlic habanero-sesame oil delivered a bold, aromatic depth that made the dish very unique. For the main course, the Bungalow Benedict was pure comfort elevated to perfection. Served on a beautifully toasted Model Bakery English muffin, the Canadian bacon was rich and savory, while the poached eggs were cooked flawlessly, their yolks silky and indulgent. The hollandaise was luxuriously smooth while the breakfast potatoes on the side were crisp, golden, and perfectly seasoned. The Steak Frites Au Poivre (also a supplement) was another highlight. The filet medallions were cooked exactly to temperature (we asked for med rare) tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The au poivre sauce added a refined peppery richness that complemented the meat beautifully. The crinkle-cut fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside! Dessert was the perfect finale. The Brûléed Basque Cheesecake was extraordinary, so creamy and rich with a delicately caramelized top that added depth and texture. The Three Layer Chocolate Cake was pure decadence. Moist, rich, and intensely chocolatey, it was elevated by the lightness of whipped crème fraîche. The salted caramel sauce tied everything together with a perfect sweet-salty finish....you can tell I'm a chocoholic! Beyond the food, the ambiance deserves special mention. The space is incredibly refined, with a soothing palette of pastel tones that immediately invites relaxation. The décor draws inspiration from Art Nouveau and Art Deco, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and thoughtfully curated. Everything is immaculate, contributing to an overall sense of understated luxury. Finally, the service truly elevated the entire experience. The General Manager, Giovanni, was outstanding. He guided us through every detail of the menu, offering thoughtful explanations and perfectly pairing wines with each course. His presence was attentive yet never intrusive, making us feel completely at ease. His professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge added a personal touch that made the experience truly memorable. RECCOMENDED!

    Ask the Community - The Bungalow Kitchen

    Where disabled people can park?

    The restaurant offers valet service. For self park, perhaps you can call the restaurant for the closest designated parking spaces reserved for individuals with disabilities.

    Is it dog friendly? Ok to bring dogs in outdoor seating?

    Yes, dogs ok outside

    Is it super dressy?

    We went during brunch and it was a mix of people very casually dressed while others were dressed up a bit. So whatever your comfort!

    Do you have vegan options?

    No. We called 2 days in advance asking just for a vegetarian option (not vegan) & were incorrectly told they could accommodate. Two hours after arrival after sitting and waiting they offered a salad.

    Does it become 21 and over after a certain time?

    Friday and Saturday for Late Night - after 10pm yes it is 21+

    Is there a Happy Hour?

    Yes Wed-Sun 4-6pm they offer Sunset Sips with Cocktail, Beer & Wine specials + a lite bites menu

    Is this place still open? Went to the address and could not find the restaurant. Update: found it!…

    The restaurant is in the back, towards the water. Not easy to find, but valet parking is offered.

    What's the parking situation? Off-street? Valet, how much?

    I believe valet was $10. They have street parking nearby (as you're driving towards the restaurant), and I believe those lots are free after 5pm. There is also a parking garage (paid) as well as a larger paid parking lot.

    Can we just pop in for a drink at the bar without a reservation?

    Yes! Sitting at the bar is fun. I'd arrive on the earlier side like 5:30. It gets crowded.

    Do you have gift certificates available for purchase?

    Absolutely, you can come in anytime we are open and purchase a gift certificate. Inquire at the host stand or your server if you are dining.

    Are dogs allowed in the outdoor searing area? Many thanks

    If they're not allowed, call Yelp and have them change the info section.

The Caesar salad was nothing special, no flavor, and we had to ask for extra dressing. The calamari appetizer didn't look appealing and lacked a fresh, vibrant color. Nothing was included with my $44 fish dish, so I had to order a side of roasted potatoes for extra $8, which were not fresh at all. When I asked our waiter, he said they make them daily, which likely means they were made anytime in the morning. Overall, it was not worth the $198 we spent on a tasteless dinner. Very disappointed that we chose Luna Blu for our special day, and we will definitely not be going back. Basically, you're paying for the view.

We enjoyed almost all of the meal except the chicken was not as impressive as the waitor advertised. It was a bit on the dry side that evening. We had most of it packed up to go but the staff also forgot to bring it out to us and we too forgot to asked for it, maybe I it was a good thing. We.all enjoy the well prepared, and flavorful, bright yet comforting dishes. The pasta was aldente the way it should be. Overall we had very nice evening and would definitely comes back to try other dishes. Hope it would all be winner the next time around.

They have your savory and sweet items from eggs to pancakes, a list of burgers and salads, they also have some more main lunch items like pasta and clams and fish and steak tacos There is plenty of seating both inside and out. And service was friendly and good. Seemingly one bathroom which could be an issue if it's busy since this place seats a lot of people. We split the lobster Benedict and fish tacos; both hearty dishes and both not cheap. But both were delicious and filling. The hollandaise sauce on the Benny was so light and fresh accompanied with perfect breakfast potatoes. The fish tacos were full of fish with the bright slaw being the star. We ate a little after the lunch rush and were able to leisurely enjoy lunch and talk without being rushed. Ambiance was great. Downtown Tiburon is so cute! Such a great little destination to explore.

    Good eats and picturesque scenery at Salt & Pepper in Tiburon…read more The service was great- quick and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed the Niman Ranch burger. I got mine medium rare and the beef was juicy but not greasy. The sear added a Smokey flavor to the beef, yummy! The brioche bun was buttery and warm and the mayo was salty and savory. The mixed greens complimented the burger well, fresh and crunchy. The Ahi Tuna Tartare was yummy and I loved the presentation. Portion-wise it was a little lackluster and the fish itself didn't taste the freshest, but still good! The vibe was amazing. Situated in Tiburon's beautiful downtown, it's quaint, has lots of sea breeze, and chill.

This restaurant is also a bit away from the downtown / wharf area and so also somewhat less crowded. It still had quite a bit of queue to order. Patrons need to order food / drinks at the counter first and then look for a table . Which makes things kind of tricky. When I went, there were still a few empty tables. But I could see , people who arrived a bit later, had to wait around for tables to be vacated. Which spoils the experience a bit. They had a few vegetarian / vegan options. Had the Butternut squash hummus - Felt fresh, and was tasty, though didn't get a strong squash flavor Side of falafels - These were tasty and freshly made. Marinated Beets - Not much flavor , but made for a healthy side Dark Chocolate pudding - I think it had been kept refrigerated , until served and so felt more like eating a frozen dessert and less like a pudding.

There is no excuse for my sweetheart's $39 lunch, the Dungeness crab mac & cheese. It was served w/ just 1 crab claw still in the shell, buried in the excellent cheese & noodles all over it. He did add a bit of fresh grated Parmesan & black pepper but was expected to extract the meat himself using the shell cracker provided. One still must hold onto the claw with the other hand which got quite messy w/ cheesy noodles all over it. No wet napkin was provided. I had to flag another server down to request it b/c ours was nowhere to be seen! That is absolutely ridiculous. Be prepared to have to ASK the server to refill your water. Every time. No salad included w/ this meal. They surely count on tourists who are never coming back anyway.

There was something indescribable, though, that hinted that they rely on the picturesque views to make up for food that is "good" - but not "great." Let's start on a positive note. You can't beat the view. Our server was well informed about the menu, attentive, and friendly - but unwilling to help too much with the menu selections. "Everything is good" is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but I'm not holding this against the rating of this restaurant as that's pretty server-specific. We started with a half dozen local oysters on the half shell which were actually amazing. Perhaps the most mild tasting oysters I have ever had and served with a champagne mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh horseradish - all of which paired nicely. For my main course, I had the petrale sole - a very mild, delicate, Pacific flatfish. While flaky and tender, it did lack flavor and was served with some relatively uninspired accompaniments - a saffron rice and some roasted vegetables which was mostly green beans and celery. One of my friends ordered the paella which he said was "great." Overall very decent experience on par with so many other coastal restaurants that know they can fill the seats with the amazing views alone. I would definitely come back - but would likely order something different... except for the oysters - those were a must to order again!

This was a perfect place to go, especially on a nice sunny day. We sat outside on the patio, it did get a little roasty toasty under the sun but it was nice being able to see the water and the city. The service was a tiny bit slow, but overall fast, considering that the place was packed to the room with reservations and walk-ins. The servers were really cute and accommodating for everything, and the food was spectacular. I'm not a huge fan of oysters ( or at least I thought I wasnt) but this definitely changed my mind. It's super fresh, the sauce is pair really well, and the whole vid a good ambulance for me to get back into oysters. If you get a chance, grab the coconut ceviche for a little twist on a classic ceviche... There are slices of coconut and slices of fish with mangoes and tomatoes, which was so tasty. The crab tacos were a whole other deal as well since it wasn't on tortilla, but rather a rice paper kind of wrapping. Super fresh crab, and very juicy and creamy. BEWARE parking is terrible, it's usually crazy packed, and there's a lot of other restaurants and bars around the area which also add to the density. I would recommend this area for adults - couples, friends, older family members. I probably wouldn't recommend this for kids since it's a bit more busy but classy. There's lots of other spots down the street or in Sausalito. That's a bit more accommodating for all ages.
