We had a delightful lunch on the Castaways deck yesterday during our spell of perfect, warm weather. No complaints at all regarding the food, drinks or service. There was one annoying yellow jacket that we eventually dispatched. On the whole, it was a wonderful outdoor, autumn dining experience.
We went in Sunday afternoon we were automatically seated outside it was a lovely day and beautiful view. Our waitress was not that great we waited a long time for her to even take our order and to bring drinks and take away dirty plates. She took forever to do everything but then stood right there waiting for us to put our payment in the black book to take it immediately. It made me very uncomfortable. I wanted to pay with cash but I just put my card in instead because I didn’t want to take my cash out and count it with her hovering over us. The restrooms were clean but no paper towels. Other than that everything was great. The food delicious and everything was hot. I even ordered a second order of steamed clams.

Went here to celebrate a birthday for a friend. The food was good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The views are wonderful. We sat outside and even though they we crowded we could easily talk in normal tones. Would definitely go back again. Sunset picture is taken at the outdoor dining area.
Parking: No trouble finding a parking place when they were busy.

My boyfriend and I are on a weekend roadtrip and I was trying to find on our route a “hidden gem” restaurant and this is definitely it . We got the crab cakes, lobster bisque, and seafood stuffed mushrooms. We were trying to preserve every bite! Christine was our server and she was so kind and always made sure we had enough water. It is also beautiful outside!!
We just had an amazing dinner at Castaways. Our waiter Joe was so kind and was very attentive. We ordered delicious seafood including the muscles, salmon (the dill sauce was delicious), and seafood sauté! The water view made us feel like we were vacationing in our hometown! Highly recommended this local gem.

First time visit and likely last time visit. The view is fantastic but everything else lacked. Calamari appetizer was dry and over breaded, burger tasted unseasoned and like it was a frozen patty cooked in a microwave. Lobster Roll was average and probably the best dish of the three. our server was not attentive - we waited for 15 minutes after being seated before anyone even approacehed us. Drinks sat empty for nearly 15 minutes before he noticed we needed refills. He rarely checked on us. Took near 20 minutes to get our check and close out to leave. Seemed like he was lost. Seemed like the other servers were on their game much more than him. We thought this would be a great spot for a summer lunch, but we were mistaken and left quite dissappointed.

Obviously, the views are amazing here, that goes without saying... Our server, Joe, stated that he was normally a chef in the kitchen. He was amazing… Friendly, sociable, perfectly attentive but not too much. Being from the kitchen, he knew the menu better than anybody. Food was amazing, cooked perfect… from the seafood to the steak… DELICIOUS!
