I had not been here for many years but will now certainly add it to my favorites. The cooking is absolutely first rate. Someone in the kitchen really knows what they are doing. Professional service too. The gazpacho was unique and awesome. Salmon perfectly soft and warm inside. Barramundi nice and crispy.
One quibble: the menu justifies a 4% service fee because of “record inflation”. The average 3% inflation over the past five years is hardly a record compared to the 13% levels seen around 1980. The tariffs and deficits may get us to record territory some day, but we are not there now. It would be sufficient to say there is a service fee to better pay staff.

Loved my experience at Bungalow 44 in Mill Valley! The steak frites was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I also had a spicy margarita that was bold, refreshing, and just the right amount of heat. The service was fantastic—super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The tropical-inspired ambiance made the whole place feel fun and relaxing. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

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.

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.

My friends live in Mill Valley and couldn’t have chosen a better spot for dinner than Bungalow 44. We sat indoors as outdoors was full and had a great time. From the cocktails to $1 oysters to the hamachi poppers to fish to the flatbread to the dessert everything was delicious. Our server was really nice too, I didn’t catch his name but when I mentioned I’m from Thailand he spoke to me in Thai which was cool! Would definitely go back to Bungalow and recommend it to anyone looking for a nicer spot for dinner in Mill Valley.

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?

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.

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!

Absolutely fantastic experience. Delicious food and drinks in a lovey outdoor patio. We had the pasta bolognese, the short ribs, and a salmon filet. All were absolutely fantastic! The short ribs with the horseradish mashed potatoes were prob my favorite. The old fashioned was delicious too.
I can’t say enough about how accommodating they were with our lack of reservation and dietary restrictions. SO great!
