Michelin starred chef Michael Mina comes to Tiburon with one of Marin’s most upscale offerings, The Bungalow Kitchen. Waterfront with San Francisco and bay views to die for, the central downtown location features a quieter bar upstairs that brings the views front and center. A large patio boasts dining while watching the ferries roll in and out, and offers stunning “up close and personal” unobstructed views of San Francisco Bay.

The design concept of the original Guaymas, a three decade long destination establishment, is transformed and now one of Marin’s largest restaurants with multiple room offerings including two large bar areas, upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs is cozy and warm with home-like accents including multiple fireplaces and bookshelves. The dining room is bright and elegant, with comfy club chairs or booths designed for an inviting social dining experience.

The upstairs second story bar area is more low-key with dramatic bay views and also has a warm inviting billiard table room. The entire second level can be rented for private parties with room for a dance floor. Service is more upscale and attentive throughout the restaurant, including the upstairs bar. The entire menu is also available at both bars. There is a robust refined wine list of more than 150 varieties by the glass or bottle. The expert bar staff is also able to craft innovative Bay Area-inspired cocktails.

The Bungalow Kitchen offers a unique Marin dining experience with its bold and elevated California curated menu. There are rich and decadent dishes like Crispy Liberty Duck Wings finished with a delicious Grand Marnier, orange zest, and black pepper glaze; Mina’s signature Lobster Pot Pie made with succulent lobster in a truffle and lobster bisque; and the well balanced Truffle-Yellowtail Sashimi. For steak lovers, the Oak-fired USDA prime steaks come with red wine butter and black garlic potato purée. And don't forget dessert! Meyer Lemon Crêpe Cake and many other unique compositions make dessert irresistible.

The owners have strived to create a bar and restaurant that feels special; but is also an extension of home: a place where folks can dine more casually during the week, include options both upscale and friendly, sip drinks with friends on the weekend, or have a beautiful view brunch on Sunday. It’s a place to hang out and socialize, not just have a meal.
