I had a great evening with my girlfriend here. We ordered the caviar frites, Caesar salad, the filet mignon, honey roasted root vegetables, 50/50 mashed potatoes, and the mac n cheese. The food was great, ambience was amazing, the views of the city were beautiful. Our server Jonah was one of the best servers I’ve ever had in any restaurant in general. Overall, my girlfriend and I had an amazing time and we will for sure be visiting again.

Castaway overall was very good. Food, ambience, and quality of drinks, great. However, the pace of service was long, it took a while for waters to be replenished, plates to be cleared, and we sat at our table for almost five minutes before our server arrived. Views were spectacular, and it was a lovely sunset with my parents and husband.

The waitress Shay was very attentive & on top of things .very nice . The food could use some improvement . for the price it should be better . We had the chicken & waffles which was not spectacular , the short rib Benedict’s was just ok. The calamari & cauliflower starters were really good . But you really cannot beat the ambience , view , modern interior & good service from Shay which saved the day .

Of all the food ordered, our 2 favorite dishes are the fries and corn bread. I order the wagyu steak and it came out “heat lamp” warm, cooked like I asked “medium rare” but due to the “heat lamp” quality, the meat was too chewy and hard to digest. In passion, the salmon was a better choice but low on spice and flavor. I give it a 4 out of 5 rating. Ambience was great - noise level low and our server was attentive but overworked. Overall, I suggest stay away from the steak and maybe stick w the appetizer and seafood. Thanks Troy
