"Antonio made a special occasion fabulous. Great attention, but not too much. The prime rib was perfection, the Caesar salad crispy and scrumptious. LaBrea bakery bread can't be beat. And because we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant had sent an e-mail coupon and my meal was free. With a generous tip, our bill was under"

"Prepaid deposit upon reservation and initial bill didn't reflect amount already paid. Took time to get assistant and feel the issue was resolved. Restaurant is dated. Lots of good food to choose from. But missed some of it since it's so spread out. Didn't find some of the food until it was too late. Difficult to get around for older parents or anyone will challenges."

"My family of three attended for Easter brunch, as we have been to Castaway for several other brunches. Each time we go, we are less and less impressed. The quality and quantity of the food is not as grand as it has been in the past. We live in the most Southern part of Orange County (not the "OC Housewives" type family, though) so it is a long drive to and from the restaurant, making brunch at Castaway after church an all day event. It was not worth it at all, but especially at a cost of $150. I don't know if I will take the time to attend anyore, but for someone who hasn't ever tried it and lives close by, may find it worth it."

"The night started very rocky with a 15 min wait despite having reservations. Generally this would not have bothered me except for the fact that they began seating walk-ins before us. The hostess was not very friendly nor was she helpful. Once I complained and asked to cancel my reservation they immediately seated us. Luckily our server completly salvaged the night with great service and a comped desert, nice touch."
