   This place has been a family favorite for years, however this past Sunday will likely be our last visit. The restaurant has done away with buffet style dinning in lieu of covid. Reduced capacity with good distance between tables. The problem we experienced was terrible service, extremely extremely slow which was difficult because our party had 3 children. The food came out "not as ordered" and the time it took to bring replacements or the whole components of what we ordered took longer than 30 minutes. There was also a lack of inclusion for veggitarian options, with no compensation in pay. Half of our group was done eating while others waited still for their meal to arrive at the table. After requesting our check, we waited an additional 30 minutes before finally walking up to the host stand to settle our checks to leave. Other than that our server was very polite and the food tasted decent. For the price however and the poor service, I wouldn't return or recommend it to others.

   I know everything is pricey now and food inventory is touch and go, so I have taken that into consideration. Avocado toast was more like guacamole with tomatoes on top. My friend loved his salmon. Crème brûlée for dessert was a bit soft on top and overly sweet, more like flan tasting. But the champagne did flow nicely, and the staff was very nice.

   Prior to COVID I went here all the time with my friends and family for Sunday brunch. We called to see if the buffet brunch was back, they told us it was so we decided to go again. It was awful, the buffet is not back despite what we were told on the phone. We ordered off the menu, I got steak and eggs, my scrambled eggs were runny and my steak was covered in gravy (which was not stated on the menu) I asked for steak without gravy, they scrapped the gravy off the steak and then put it back on the stove until it was cooked to jerky. I requested a non-over cooked steak and they brought me back the smallest, saddest most u flavorful thing I’ve ever eaten. I got the chocolate cake for dessert, it was the driest cake I’ve ever had, it just crunched as I tried to eat it. For 50 dollars, don’t waste your money. It is definitely not the same as it used to be. I voiced my complaints and no one tried to resolve anything. It was sad.

   The service was excellent, food delicious and place beautiful. The only issue I had was that there was a large group and the noise level was more than what was appropriate for the ambiance. I would definitely go again.

   The view is what makes this place. The food was good and fairly priced. The wine selection was surprisingly lean on the basics. The service was between fair and poor. The restaurant was lite on patrons and still the staff seem confused on who was taking our table. It added significant delays to our dining time. After 1.5 hours we had to get our dessert to go because we were going to be late for the rest of our evening plans. Though the food was good we will likely not return.

   First time there, went for brunch. Service was excellent, great views and I think 52 dollars for brunch is pretty good. The only think I would suggest is maybe adding another dish or 2 for more variety , oh and the creme brulee could be a bit better, but I enjoyed myself, the blackened salmon was really tasty, I will be back.

    Very pricey $52 /person. Food was not that exceptional for the price. Far different from the old Castaway Restaurant breakfast brunch. It was a 3 course meal, food was not that great , let’s just say I would have gotten the same taste eating at Denny’s. With the quality of food and the price I wouldn’t recommend this place.

    The food and service was excellent. My only gripe was that the decor and furniture was a bit lacking. The outside chairs had peeling paint and chips, and was overall a bit cheap when looking at a comparable price to a place such as the mission inn. If they can pay a bit closer detail to the cleanliness of the outside seating and areas it would be a much better experience.

    Great location with a scenic view of the city, perfect for date night. Food was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend to reserve at 6:30 as there is hardly anyone and it can most likely be you and your partner.

    I ordered the salmon from the brunch menu, when it Came out, it looked amazing but when I cut into the middle it was raw inside. I sent it back. 15 minutes later I was returned the same salon piece just extra cooked. You’d think with Covid they would’ve given a new piece of salmon but it was the same one… and Unfortunately the salmon, rice and veggies all came out Extra salty. To the point where you couldn’t swallow it. I feel the blackened seasoning was too salty and it took over the whole dish. I had to spit out the rice because of extra saltiness. To top it off. My date ended up waiting for me to get my salmon fixed that his steak And eggs became cold and we’re too cold to eat….

    I can not blame to much on the waitress/manager. She helped us with our kids to have adult menu at the kids price. My guess is that’s why I didn’t get a bill adjustment or discount at the end. Due to the fact that we weren’t takin care of for several minutes after seating. She blamed the other waitress for that. Okay fine the other waitress was at fault, that’s none of my business. Felt kinda like there maybe tension with the workers at this establishment. She did the best she could, I admit that fully. But when she brought out the molding chocolate cake that killed the whole high-end dining experience for us. Seems this restaurant is trying to make it happen there, but just don’t have the experience. The food was mediocre my shrimp cocktail was watery. The blackened salmon was too salty, the grilled diced potatoes were oil soaked. I paid $156 for two adults and two children. I believe this place is more about location and the quality of food. My wife and I always say, you never know till you try. Good luck to this place. It has a lot of potential.

    Went here for my second wedding anniversary. The calamari was not edible, we returned it. My wifes salmon was overcooked and dry. The food was subpar. I had creme brulee for dessert it was a liquid. I would not recommend this place. Nothing good to say at all.

    They brought me the check before getting our desert to our table, we paid for everything and as soon as we get the desert we found a duty nail in it, it was definitely disgusting. We just got up and leave the place. Customer service was really good, the hostess was really nice too. But your personal definitely need to pay more attention on the food.
