Located in the town center of Mill Valley, Bungalow 44 has a nice local small town vibe, but at the same time serving up a sophisticated big city type food selections. There were four in our party. The bar is inviting, service was prompt and helpful. The burrata with prosciutto and tuna carpaccio appetizers were excellent. We had four different... More

Somewhere along the line, the people cooking at this popular spot have become lazy. Maybe it's because business is good, maybe because patrons like the friendly service, welcoming bar, and cozy ambience. But once the food arrives, you're in for a disappointment. What the menu calls "Kickin' Fried Chicken" is 3 pieces in a boring,spice less batter that not only... More

After a couple of meals there, I have never been really disappointed. Good service, a nice and cosy bar and most of the menues I have tried were really tasty. The atmosphere is also an extra plus. Going there alone, I recommend the bar, friendly people and lots of fun.

When you get tired of all of the Italian restaurants in Sausalito, take a 15 minute drive to Mill valley to eat the very intersting food at Bugalow 44. The food is a mix of healthy foods along with some comfort foods like fried chicken. Don't miss the stuffed peppers over Quinoa, a house specialty....and their excelelent crusty bread. The... More

Food was very good, Service was very good The portion size of the special was small, and therefor overpriced. They would do well to de clutter the walls to create a nicer atmosphere that goes with the level of restaurant they strive for. Would try again, though.

Bungalow 44 has everything its needs to be a great restaurant. It has a good location. It has a decent it somewhat limited wine list. It has an interesting menu. I've been there several times, and I've never felt disappointed. However, it never seems to quite make the jump from being a good restaurant to a great one. The service... More

The "hit" was the fried chicken - the best we have ever tasted, perfectly prepared. The "miss" was the rib-eye steak. It was undercooked (requested medium rare, but it was definitely rare), and almost as much fat as meat (not just marbled fat, which you would expect for a rib eye, but large hunks of inedible fat that had to...

We have been to this restaurant with friends occasionally, but never found it remarkable. This visit has convinced us not to return. Our food was improperly prepared (my husband tasted my sole with lemon caper sauce, which was overpoweringly acidic, and said he would have sent it back), and both our meals were "skimpy" portions, and the entire meal was...

Downtown Mill Valley's restaurant scene starts with a visit to the Bar at Bungalow, where you'll see the young and old watching sports on tv and clamoring for a seat! Then, grab a table in the cozy fireplace room (where it's a lot quieter) and enjoy some of the best food anywhere. The starters, like truffled french fries and brussel... More
