    Had a reservation for 8:45, wasn’t aware restaurant closed at 9. We were rushed to place our order, chicken was undercooked I cut into it and blood came gushing out. Told the waiter, he offered to bring me a new plate. However, he brought back the same plate they had just recooked the same chicken and made sure to leave it extra roasted. Wouldn’t come again.

    Just got done eating last night at this so called restaurant, but my reservation was at 8:30 got seated quick but food didn't come out until 9:30 a whole hour later crazy. Food was just mediocre and no flavor. Don't I repeat don't get the ARROZ MELOSO had 2 bites and legit got disgusted from the flavor. A restaurant I'll for sure say is heavily influenced and filled with dishonest reviews while having and hearing waiters ask for good reviews exchange for complementary desserts. And the view of the freeway is amazing from. the restaurant? what a disappointment if I could, no stars would be given.

    Our sever Ivan was wonderful! The overall service and ambience was so amazing. The evening sunset and the view were absolutely spectacular. The food was super delicious and genuinely authentic. Especially the chimichurri sauce. Highly recommend for a lovely date night!

    From this being one of three restaurants connected to castaways, you could have really fooled me. The presentation on the drinks and the food is far below par. I feel like McDonald’s does more of a presentation on a to go order than what I got here. The food itself wasn’t all that good. Comparing my anniversary brunch at castaways to this place I cannot see how they are connected in any way I would consider that. The customer service wasn’t bad, although it got better once they heard me talking about my experience as I was talking to my Girlfriend. All in all I will not be coming back I won’t be recommending this place to anybody. If someone says that they are going, I will be quick to offer a different place.

    This was our second year visiting for Valentine’s Day and our server, Christine, made it more special than the first. She was kind, quick with help, and took good care of us. 10/10 service. Food and drinks were a 10/10 as well!
