Scottsdale-based Clive Collective assumes management of Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon, California on June 1, ending a four-year run by Michael Mina Group at the waterfront restaurant at 5 Main St.
The transition is the first time Clive Collective has operated outside Arizona. The group runs Cala, The Americano, Tell Your Friends, and Neon Spur in Scottsdale; Tell Your Friends took bar of the year honors at the 2025 Bar & Restaurant Expo. Co-founder Justin Massei, born in the Bay Area and currently based in San Francisco, is credited with driving the California expansion.
Bungalow Kitchen opened in November 2021 as a collaboration between Mina and entertainment executive Brent Bolthouse, on a site that previously housed Guaymas Mexican restaurant. Mina Group had announced plans for the location as far back as 2018. The restaurant will continue operating under the Bungalow Kitchen name through and after the transition, with no interruption in service, according to Eater San Francisco.
Mina, a James Beard Award winner for Rising Star Chef of the Year in 1997, built his reputation through his San Francisco flagship, which earned two Michelin stars in 2006. His group's exit from Tiburon comes as Clive Collective positions itself for its first out-of-state footprint.
