Castaways offers a delightful dining experience with stunning rooftop views, perfect for enjoying the air and water show. The restaurant boasts ample seating and excellent service, known for their friendly and patient demeanor even when accommodating larger groups. The menu features a delightful BBQ spread and popular items like the whipped ricotta appetizer and chimichurri shrimp wrap. Guests have praised the lovely presentation and terrific, easy food. However, diners should note that the kitchen may close earlier than expected, so reservations after 6:30 PM may be better suited for a quick meal or drinks.
The restaurant has received mixed reviews recently. Some guests have reported issues with the accuracy of menu items, such as receiving Alfredo pasta instead of the ordered pesto. However, the staff has been praised for their efforts to correct any mistakes. The location and view of the air and water show have been consistently praised, with one guest describing the experience as "outstanding." The restaurant also offers additional entertainment, including yoga, salsa dancing, and DJs in the evenings.
