I seriously love castaway, it is such a beautiful venue to host anything. I love coming here to eat with my family. The steaks are always up to Par. The short rib dish is my favorite. As well as ordering a charcuterie board. We love the watermelon margaritas. This place is great. I have hosted so many different things here. Also we love David, he is bilingual. His service has always been the best.

My food was delicious! I ordered the lobster and shrimp with risotto. I got scared when I saw the shrimp; however they were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Make sure you have a reservation before you arrive. If not, you can sit at the bar, first come, first serve, and you can order food there. With the reservation, you can sit on the patio that overlooks the hills and the city, or inside the restaurant dining area. They had three special events going on. A wedding reception, a 55th birthday party, and another event. Kudos to the restaurant staff because I did not see either of these parties. I watched people go to their respective destinations, but it did not interfere with the restaurant's normal flow of business. I was a Special Events Manager at the House of Blues. So I couldn’t help but pay attention.

One of the best brunches I have ever experienced. Beautiful views. Wonderful service from our waitress (Robin I believe). The kitchen was able to accommodate a vegetarian Benny made with their AMAZING wild mushrooms and avocado. Eggs were cooked absolutely perfectly and the potatoes... Ugh so dang good. All the drinks were delightful but the lavender charcoal mimosa was *chef's kiss* Will 1000% be back everytime we're on the west coast

I have been coming here for years. even though it's a seafood place I enjoy my steak every single time. we have tasted the salmon the whole fish with rice and my family loves it as well you cannot beat a better location especially on a clear night where is very romantic and great for drinks. the staff is always accommodating and the location is well suited for large parties weddings and just a night out.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Peter Xaymountry | Feb 9, 2022

You should call the restaurant and ask them directly because it changes every week but when I dine there in December, they didn't check since it's technically outdoor if you sit near that area.

I have called their number in the past and taken reservation but I believe you can use OpenTable now for reservations as well: https://www.opentable.com/r/castaway-burbank?sitelink=01&ref=15649&SP=ppc_g_us_restaurants&LS=gglppc&MID=us_restaurants&gclid=CjwKCAjw4LfkBRBDEiwAc2DSlCVfrRewYYuaVSr7Y4tWNEwaLPzZZl4sbEitr1M731vDuHe4vDGKRhoCosgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Also, I went last weekend and don't remember seeing a buffet menu for dinner. It was a la carte and costs approximately $50 per person (could vary if you get wine bottle).
