view, view, view the best view in all burbank

The food is great. The view from the deck is awesome. You can see a 360 view of city lights and have a nice dinner with family or date.

Great Place For Fun

We had our wedding reception here before it burned down (and was rebuilt). The view is still spectacular and the food above average. You'll need to try different things to see what tastes best but I sometimes feel like it can go either way.

Regardless of the food, my wife and I always love coming back here every year to celebrate our anniversary and get away from it all.

If you'd like to rent one of the banquet halls, make sure to book it as far in advance as possible because this place seems to be always booked months in advance (especially weekends).

Special-occasion dining destination offers stunning views from its mountaintop perch.

In Short
Perched at the top of a long winding road, the Castaway offers views to behold. Book a patio table on a summer evening to watch the valley transform into an ocean of glimmering...

David, our server was outstanding. One of the best waiters we've had in a very long time.

One star for the view, and the view only. Currently barfing my insides out after enduring the worst service, the worst food and drinks, and the worst waste of $270 for two people. Will be reporting them to the BBB & CA Health Department.

Service was poor. Water was on the floor, can't they broom it out so our shoes don't get wet or prevent a slippery accident?
Ambiance was ok, it was cloudy so the view wasn't great.
Food did not stand out. Salmon Benedict was good. Maybe dinner menu is better?
