Food was delicious and also beautiful. It's pricey but excellent. Was the perfect special place to celebrate a graduation. The outdoor tables are really nice with a marina view, but it was too cold for us that night even with heaters, so we stayed in. Our server was wonderful and clearly knew the food and drinks well. A complementary congratulatory dessert was provided for our graduate - a nice touch. Overall recommended!

We rediscovered Cast and Plow a few weeks ago and had a great dinner experience there. We returned for brunch this Sunday and were somewhat disappointed. The menu is quite limited but we were told we can order whatever we want from other menus although no one provided the breakfast or lunch menu to us to pick from. The food quality was pretty high so that is positive for sure except for the coffee which was lukewarm and stale and just not at the same level as the rest. The service was really poor though with our server literally not within eye sight for 15 minutes or so at a time. She was nice but perhaps she had too many tables inside so us sitting on the patio were sort of neglected. While the food quality was good, as I mentioned, a couple of people in our party just ordered basic scrambled eggs dishes but the bill had them at the same price as their signature omlette with salmon which is a great dish and definitely worth it's $32 price tag. Most ridiculous, cost wise, is the valet. Even with restaurant validation, it's $18, day or night! Overall, a good dining experience especially sitting outdoors by the harbor, but it could have been a great experience if we had proper service and more choices actually on the menu to pick from.

The service was exceptional and everyone was very friendly. My wagu cheeseburger and brussels sprouts were delicious. The caeser salad dressing was a bit light on flavor but very fresh. The outdoor ambiance was lovely but the seats would have been more comfortable with back cushions, especially on the straight backed sofa style seats.

Elizabeth our server was outstanding. I was interested in something different and she mentioned Halibut was special for the day. Delicious! My wife looked at the steak offering Filet . We asked Elizabeth too bad you don't have Rib Eye. She said oh yes we happen to have Rib Eye. We ordered the Rib Eye. Perfect. French fries are awesome. Whiskey selection is excellent! I ordered a Japanese whiskey. Perfect dining experience. Don't forget to get your valet parking ticket validated. Bon appetit

The view of the Marina was great with the large windows and the beauty of the hotel added extra charm. The service was superb and all the main dishes are prepared very, very well. The fried cauliflower was an extra treat, and so were the brussel sprouts, but less sauce on them, would have allowed us to taste the vegetable itself. We had espressos and dessert and the tower cake was awesome with icecream too! The only drawback was of course, was the high tab cost, but c'est la vie. All in all, a great place to dine for those special times. Friendly staff.

Very overpriced restaurant without much ambience. Felt like a hotel lobby. Food was good, not exceptional but very expensive. Service was ok but you have to valet park for another $17 with restaurant discount.
The brunch menu was small, as were the portions. I realize that it's a boujie place, but the dishes for brunch were way over complicated and a terrible value for the price. Great views, great place to be seen but not worth the $$$ for the food.
We had a retirement party on the patio with superb firepit at our table. Excellent ambiance! Thank you for making our experience so wonderful! We felt extremely cared for by all the service team!

And the food, we are never disappointed in our choices - breakfast or dinner!!Parking: Hotel valet parking only, unless you park across the street !

Our server could have been a little more attentive. Seems she was working the inside patrons more than the outside one's. Overall love the view, the ambience, and the food was delicious. Would definitely go back.

We have regularly eaten at the Cast and Plow for well over five years now. At least two Valentines celebrations, one graduation celebration and numerous lunches and casual dinners. The Chef turns out a lovely Prix Fixe menu for Valentines and the kitchen turns out lovely meals for regular dining be it brunch or dinner. The dining room is very comfortable as is the balcony area. Also, the have a very cool bar area. Finally, the staff are unwaveringly polite and courteous. Thank you Cast and Plow.
