I'm not one to do reviews very often, but I haven't even left the restaurant and I'm typing this up. We had reservations at Le Jardiner, but they got bought out for an event, and I am SO glad they did. Our friend suggested the Bungalow and this has been one of the most amazing experiences I've had in years. Everything was phenomenal, the staff, the food, the atmosphere...perfection. We came to celebrate a special occasion, and unlike so many other places they actually prepared for our arrival and made us feel special the whole night. They closed with the firey display at the end. Overall 15 out of 10, Bungalow is worth every penny. For specifics, it's gonna get repetitive. Wagyu meatballs and lobster bisque, fire. Cajun ribeye, Oscar style Filet, and truffle fries, fire. The bread pudding, absolute inferno, best bread pudding I've had in my entire life. Our waitress Aleria took phenomenal care of us and, again, made us feel special the whole night. Two separate members of leadership came by to make sure we were having a good experience. If you're anywhere close to the edge of wanting to come here, jump off that edge and dive in to true flavor. Le Jardiner? Forget about em. This spot deserves the next Michelin Stars for Houston.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We celebrated our anniversary at Bungalow Downtown Dining, and it was truly an amazing experience. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was beautiful, and it made for the perfect night out. We ordered the seafood dip, green beans, fried lobster, corn chowder and fries. A special shout-out to our server, Oumou, who gave us wonderful, attentive service and made the evening feel extra special. She even gave us a free customized dessert to help us celebrate! The only thing I would change is the number of reminder messages I received about our reservation—it was a bit excessive. Other than that, everything was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

I had an amazing experience on my birthday this year at Bungalow. The restaurant is beautiful and well put together. Our hostess Aleria, was amazing as well. She kept me and my guests thoroughly entertained. She was also able to give great menu selections. I suggest everyone give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. I enjoyed the snapper and blackberry lemon drop.

What a wonderful experience! My friend and I came here to celebrate her birthday. The place was packed and there was a bit of a wait time. Not a large waiting area but they have a nice picture wall backdrop that you can take pics in front of. Complementary glasses of champagne were provided. Nice decor, beautiful ambience and music at a level where you can still carry on a conversation. Our server was amazing and gave us some really good recommendations. For appetizers: The Seafood dip was incredible and I would come back just for the Selva salad! So fresh and that dressing was chef’s kiss! Entrees: We shared the NY strip steak and Peruvian chicken. Sides: We had Brussels sprouts and Mascarpone mashed potatoes. The steak was good (not quite medium like we wanted but still very good) and the spicy cajun butter topping added to the flavor. The chicken in itself was ok but it was the Ahi sauce under it that stole the show. It brought everything beautifully together. The Brussel sprouts and Mashed potatoes were flavorful and done right. One of the highlights was that our shared dishes were split and served on 2 separate plates for us so we didn’t have to do anything. That was very thoughtful and accommodating. We were full and couldn’t fit dessert, but they were sweet enough to bring out a beautifully decorated s’more plate to commemorate my friend’s b’day! Would most definitely come back!

Recently booked the Chefs Table for my mom’s 50th Birthday Brunch!! It was absolutely stunning! The food was absolutely amazing, especially the Seafood Dip. (If you book this space for your group, you should definitely order 2-3 for the table to try!!) Drinks were great. Shoutout to our bartender Tyson, and our server Kira! They did a phenomenal job and made our experience even better!

​⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Dining Experience (200/10)! ​This is not a run-of-the-mill steak place—it is a culinary experience. ​I had an incredible time tonight and will definitely be back! ​Every dish was stellar: ​Pineapple Jerk Wings ​Seafood Dip ​Expertly prepared Tomahawk Steaks and Fried Lobster Tails ​The surprising star side: Crème Brûlée Corn (AMAZING!) ​Dessert: The luscious Lemon Meringue was out of this world. ​Absolutely 200/10! Already booked for my birthday in December. A must-try!

The staff made sure I had a wonderful experience for my birthday gathering. We had appetizers and cocktails and everything was delicious. The bartender made a special drink for one of my guests who wasn’t sure what they wanted, and even brought my drink out with a flower and sprinkle of gold dust on top which I thought was a nice birthday touch. They capped the evening off with a fun s’mores dessert. I wouldn’t change any highly recommend

First time here this past Saturday for brunch, and I must say I will definitely return! The ambiance is beautiful and very well decorated. The music was also low which I loved, making it easier to have conversion with friends. From the hostesses, our amazing server, to the managers (who stopped by to say hello)…everyone was pleasant and very welcoming! Our server was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. It was a quiet Saturday afternoon and the service was speedy. For drinks we ordered the heartbreaker, the lychee martini, and the sunrise sunset…all were tasty and well made. We ordered the seafood dip which had shrimp, crabmeat, and crawfish; being a self proclaimed seafood expert from Maryland, I must say this dish was delicious with a nice amount of seafood. We also ordered the pancakes, salmon, and bungalow breakfast. Every dish was delightful. I am excited to come back and try their dinner menu! Highly recommend !

This was a 10 out of 10 experience. I visited Bungalow downtown Houston with two of my girlfriends for brunch. We were visiting Houston on a girls trip visiting from Charlotte, NC and Virginia. Initially, I’d seen a lot on social media about Bungalow and wanted to try it out for myself to see what the hype was about. I can truly say that from start to finish, the entire experience was phenomenal. The food was excellent!!!! We ordered the whole fried red snapper, the seafood dip, the lobster grilled cheese, the chicken wings, and the stuffed French toast. The fried red snapper is one of the best I have ever had in my entire life. I can honestly say that every single item we tasted was spectacular. Additionally, the aesthetic and overall vibe of the restaurant was superb. It is a beautiful establishment and the service was equally impressive. The alcoholic beverages were also very good, and strong! It has been a very long time since I have gone to a restaurant that possessed all three characteristics: great aesthetic/vibe, excellent food, and excellent service. We enjoyed Bungalow so much that we planned to go back a second time before the end of our trip, but unfortunately did not have a chance to go back. I will definitely be adding Bungalow to my list of staple restaurants that I must eat whenever I am in Houston again. It was a pleasure to support this black owned business. Thank you for providing such a wonderful dining experience.

Came from out of town on a girls weekend and it was a phenomenal dining experience. Don’t let the outside fool you, as you walk in you’re greeted with complementary champagne as you want for your table and beautiful decour. Our server was Austin and he took fantastic care of us. For drinks the lychee martinis are definitely a hit (and quite strong) but my favorite was The Low, tangy and refreshing. For food we got the seafood medley dip which was okay with a huge portion but the highlight was the tuna tatiki, if you like raw tuna this is going to blow your mind. For our mains we got the ribeye, perfectly cooked with a side of Mac and cheese that was *almost* too rich and grilled asparagus. My friend got the salmon steak which she didn’t like, felt it was under-seasoned. Our waiter immediately recognized our dislike and offered to switch it out, she decided on the whole fried red snapper which turned out to be the star of the evening! Perfectly crispy, juicy, well seasoned and surprisingly easy to eat. They brought it out immediately and made no fuss about it. You can tell the staff here really love their job. Austin gave us bar recommendations nearby as well. There is a 20% auto-gratuity fyi (which is fine). Would love to come back when in town!

Overall lovely experience. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate and were instantly greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne. We were consistently and carefully attended to by our server, Samyri, who also provided helpful recommendations. The R&B music really set the mood and complimented the aesthetics. At the end of the evening we were surprised with a very sweet treat. In terms of the food; loved the passion fruit mocktail! The crab dip was delicious and worth considering a second trip for. The lobster was very juicy, the Peruvian chicken was good but I wish the chicken was more flavorful in its self (the ahi sauce however, was delicious). I appreciated the crispy yet flavorful Brussels sprouts, but wish the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese had a bit more flavor to them. Overall, the experience and food were very enjoyable. Keep in mind there’s a 20% gratuity included, overall the entire meal came to approximately $200.

Went for my birthday and the Astros games afterwards. The reservation stated a specific dress code so my friend and I obliged. We walked in and was immediately greeted and walked to our booth. This was a shared booth dynamic which I do not mind. But once I saw a couple walk in with sport attire on I was disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and the air does have a seafood aroma that is strong but not unbearable. Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable. The pineapple jerk wings were yummy. Drinks are beautiful and tasty. My friend is pregnant and she enjoyed the mocktail options on the menu. Overall everything was OK and I parked directly next to the building that was about 22 bucks. My favorite color is all around the restaurant which I loved!!

We went to have dinner on 11-23-25. I’m a little late posting this review, but here it is. Our waitress was very nice, attentive, and truly tried to make our dinner enjoyable. We ordered the filet mignon with creamed corn and mashed potatoes everything tasted good. They also give you a complimentary dessert if you’re celebrating a special occasion, which is a nice touch. 🙂 However, our experience was disrupted by a little fly/gnat that kept bothering us throughout the entire meal. My husband mentioned it to the waitress, but nothing was done about it, and the issue was ignored. To make things worse, I slipped and almost fell on the floor in the path back to my table after returning from the restroom because it was slippery. I’m currently in a leg brace, so this could have been a serious injury. Our waitress noticed and came to check on us afterward. Also, just be aware that you will be subject to an automatic 20% gratuity despite your experience. When you go to a nice restaurant, you expect to enjoy your meal not deal with pests flying around or worry about getting hurt. Other than that, the food was good and our waitress was attentive.

My wife and I were so excited to choose this restaurant as our Valentine’s Day dinner. Unfortunately, our experience was so awful that we feel obligated to leave a review. Despite paying for the entire Valentine’s Day pre-planned package; we never received our first course (oysters), had our second course changed with a substitution and were never notified until it was served to us in a passive manner that we felt obligated to keep it. (Ran out of the packaged item) Then, when our main course was served, there was a cockroach under our plate that ran across our table. We took a picture, notified the server quietly to not cause a scene out of respect, but were very disappointed in the way it was handled. we quickly moved to desert to try and wrap up our dinner as we had lost our taste. We were unfortunately charged full price with no accommodations. We paid quietly and began walking towards the exit. The manager offered to reduce our check by $30 (our original check was $470, so this would be a 6% accommodation) however this was after we had already paid and signed our check and began to leave. The halfhearted gesture left us feeling uncomfortable and in an awkward position. We will unfortunately not be back, nor do we feel that the management team cares too much that it happened. this situation was not properly managed, and no one seemed to care much about it, other than wiping down the cockroach with a napkin and quickly moving on as if it did not happen.
