The Bungalow

the staff is great, owner is a MAJOR problem

by sunbuster at Citysearch

Someone lied and told this guy that single women are coming into his place for HIS amusement...wrong

And then the jerk competes with his male customers for female attention and wonders why business is off so much

The food is good but pricey, valet is over priced, service at the bar and tables is always excellent

But too many women in town refuse to go there because the owner is a jerk

I'll be going back but only when I see the sign that says "under new management"

Fun, affordable happy hour

I agree wholeheartedly with the reviwer below. The place is not overly crowded, but was lively the night we were there. The food was excellent and their price was right up our alley.

Will return!

Great Happy Hour

The Bungalow proves that it's still possible to have a nice evening on the town without breaking the bank. We arrived at 4:30pm on a random weekday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. The bartender and hostess were welcoming but didn't annoy us.

The location is perfect on PCH and it's got a nice view of the fancy cars constantly whizzing by. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, deep hues of red and brown with great contrasting art and patterns. All the chairs were comfortable and the whole joint was sparkling clean.

Our waitress was perfectly polite and professional, we had two drinks each and skidded out of there for under $25. Sweet! We'll be back, for sure.

The Bungalow Restaurant

by pasha at Citysearch

My wife and I have been regulars at this restaurant for years. The food is always superb and the service very attentive. Unfortunately the last night we were in for dinner we were greeted by the owner with crossed arms and an angry grimace on his face. We instantly felt uncomfortable. We were seated for dinner and the owner paced back and fourth with a very angry expression and demeanor. To top things off we spent $200 for my wife's birthday and after having been there for less than an hour and a half the owner came literally up beside our table, pointed to us and said to a staff member "they need to leave. They have been here forever!" Very sad that an owner of such a nice restaurant can make a guest feel so unwelcome- We won't be back!

• Pros: Great food and service
• Cons: Rude owner

What a wonderful place to dine

by JLP11 at Citysearch

The Bungalow is one of my favorite restaurants in Orange County. I love the intimate, yet electric atmosphere. The food is great and it is a steak lovers dream. The chef provides a creative menu and the tastes are out of this world. The bar area is always fun and the patio dining is charming. The service is always first rate. The valet parking makes parking in downtown CDM easy. I have told all my friends and they have told there's, so be sure and get a reservation early.

• Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Elegant & Cozy
• Cons: Can't think of one
