The women that work there during the day that pick up the phone is very nasty and unprofessional it’s disgusting! Now that’s said.
It’s a nice spot to eat chill and hang, I love Nate she’s the best! Even the ladies on the Saturday night shift is nice.

So accommodating! We had a handicap person in our group that was welcome with open arms. Every seat was open to her. We chose the outside bar. Great great experience! We had just come from crabs claw that would not offer a seat for our handicap (local) friend even after we offered to pay! Such a bad experience. This was a breath of fresh air. I will recommend this place to all my friend and family. Come here instead of crabs claw. Please please please

Expect to wait a long time if you are doordashing this place or if you’re even a dasher. They will keep you waiting with no one to update you on the order status
Who the hell makes a DoorDash delivery person wait this long? Especially without telling anything to said dasher. Doordashers beware

"Castaway offers an outstanding dining experience. The panoramic view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. The food is delicious, with beautifully presented dishes packed with flavor. The service is top-notch, and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. It’s the perfect spot for special occasions or simply enjoying a high-quality meal in a stunning setting. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Highly recommended!"

I would rate this place 5 out 5 if they had a nicer manager. I was at the place just for drinks, the manager asked us to leave the place because my 6 years old was eating an ice cream from next door. I went around the restaurant and ther in (notice it is a open space) and I already had bought an ice cream in the restautant to avoid them to think we want to take advantage of the sitting area.(but the little girl wanted her favorite one) I was so annoyed cause minutes before I heard her complainig about the live music they have at the patio (which was a band they hired). This person have not sense of a good costumer service. And last there is not sign about getting snacks from other places around (same patio area)

The jerk chicken tasted like bland overcooked rotisserie chicken; nothing like real jerk chicken. Big disappointment. The ribs, fried rice, and steamed vegetables were all good.

The food was OK. I believe they advertised as Guyanese Chinese food. Definitely not the Chinese food you would find in Guyana. But out of all the items the bbq spareribs were the hit of the order and we would definitely get those again.

Went to pick up a door dash order my girlfriend placed, it was a bit unpleasant not gon lie. Place wasn't busy just two women sitting at the bar. I walked in, posted up on the counter and waited for the woman at the bar to finish with these ladies.
5 minutes go by, she finally acknowledges me and asks if I'm here for a pickup. I say yes, she then goes back to the two women at the bar and continues her conversation. I continue to wait a few more minutes, am never asked what order I'm picking up or even handed the food or asked for verification of what I'm picking up.
Fortunately the order was right on the counter, but it was never officially handed to me and I didn't just want to walk off with it without letting someone know first. At one point I just grabbed it and left, no one said an additional word to me. I could've been a stranger or a thief, no one checked.
I realize these two women at the bar had just placed a rather large catering order, and perhaps the measly few dollars we paid for our meal was unimportant in comparison, but at the very least I expected some type of professionalism from the employees there. But again, not a word, not a "thanks for ordering with us" or a "Please come again", nothing, just continued to chat up the high paying customers at the bar as I walked out without a modicum of acknowledgement.
Support Black Businesses they say, but this is the treatment loyal paying customers get for continuing to patronize the establishment. Noted.
