Editorial Review for The Castaway Restaurant – by Sara Kennedy

The Scene
The Castaway has more going for it than scenery. The interior is comfortable and quiet, and if you're lucky enough to get a window seat, you can spot seabirds playing in the glossy water, waves rolling in, boaters and the slow vault of the Howard Franklin Bridge as it cuts across the Bay's midsection. Its kitchen produces a fine assortment of dishes, from seafood to Cajun dishes. On Sundays, the restaurant stages brunch--inevitably packed on holidays, especially Mother's Day, so make reservations.

I was a loyal guest of the Castaways for many years. As of 2004, the place has gone into a downward spiral and I'm not surprised the restaurant is now on dirty dining. Check it out on ABC Action News...Tampa, Fl. My last experience my server, Adele, was clueless. She took up to 10 minutes to come to my table and then ignored me the rest of evening, until the bill arrived. The food, the service, the price, the atmosphere, and the smell of the bathrooms just baffle me. Just stay away, from this restaurant.

Pros: Can't think of any

Cons: Too many to list

Horrible food and service. I will never go back. My two year old would cook better than this. I guess i will just go to burger king the next time i want microwaved food!
