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.

This had to be the worse restaurant I have ever been to. First it took thirty minutes to be greeted and than the server fogot are drinks until we recieved our very over cooked food. Everything was burnt and the mash potatoes were crusty and cold. If I want to eat reheats I would have stayed home and ate leftovers because that was exactly what this food tasted like. Two were good enough for me! My wife could not even cut her steak with ease it was so dry and overcooked. Thanks to the management I almost got in to a fight because he wanted to argue with me.

Pros: there are other restaurants around there to go too

Cons: no experiese anywhere

Made reservations a month in advance, talked to the event manager and made arrangements for fifty people before prom. Got to the restaurant at scheduled time and they said they had no record of our reservation. We had to eat fast food for our senior prom!! Would never recommend or go there again! Completely unacceptable for such a special night. :(

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Everything.
