I was there twice for an anniversary and twice I was very disappointed with the service in such a cast restaurant, my expectations were to choose a table with or without a view, but we were simply seated, although there were a lot of seats, I wanted them to explain the features of the dish (what is included, fish or meat and what a preparation) and the wait was sooooo long, although I definitely saw three managers who don’t understand why they work there, only the parking guys work great, to be honest next time I’ll look for another restaurantParking: The parking guys work great

Came in as a vendor to do a installation, valet people kept harassing me about paying their fee with multiple attendants asking for it, I kept informing them that I was going to be there short time but they didn’t listen, I finally gave in after all the harassment from multiple attendants and paid in cash, I asked for a receipt and they gave me a used ticket with the fee marked on it, I asked for a actual receipt for tax purposes but they said that’s all they had, I reached out the valet company and I never heard back, looks like the attendants just was to make a quick buck off the vendors and not provide a actual receipt, vendors be aware of the harassment you’re going to encounter when coming to this venue

Fine dining in an open and casual setting overlooking Burbank with a view of Los Angeles as well. This place makes you want to dress to impress and then delivers amazing apps and entrees worthy of the price tag.This is for special occasions or a relaxing weeknight depending on your budget.Top notch and attentive, friendly, and prompt service!Truly an impressive experience.

The worst. The absolute worst dining experience, let alone Easter brunch that I and my friends & family had the displeasure of having. We, and everyone else with a reservation had to wait over an hour to get our tables, which turned out to be the beginning of the bad. Instead of being sat out on the admittedly lovely terrace, we were instead sat in a soulless, dirty banquet room off the main dining area. The server was very nice, but the actual service was so so poor. We were left alone for too long, the food showed up before drinks, and for some reason we had to ask twice to get plates. Then there was the food. Included in the $98 pre-fix were oysters, crab legs, and shrimp. The oysters clearly had been sitting out for a while, and had begun to turn, which was a first for me. Typically restaurants prefer not to poison their patrons, but I guess Castaway likes to roll the dice. The crab legs were edible, but it was a fun time trying to smash them open with our knife handles without the necessary crackers. The salad was oddly salty and flavorless at the same time. I also prefer my salad greens to be less brown. The mains were fine. Boring but fine. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my poached eggs weren’t boiled, and my steak wasn’t shoe leather. The word Meh fits pretty nicely for everyone’s dish. Oh, I forgot that they left crab legs and misc detritus on the table(not on plates mind you) while we waited for the next round of “food”. Nothing like staring at dismembered crab on linen in between courses. Then finally came the dessert, and oh boy was it terrible. Piles and piles of terrible. Let’s put it this way, if two 9 year olds stop eating dessert after the first couple bites, the cakes, cookies, and macaroon must suck hard. Yeah, nah.Castaway. That’s what the food was. That’s what we were.
