My husband and I decided to finally try out Castaways this past Labor Day weekend , and despite the holiday crowd, it was a great experience. The charming outdoor patio, complete with live music, immediately set the tone for an enjoyable evening.
Given the holiday rush, we expected a wait and patiently bided our time for about an hour before securing seats at the bar area. Luckily all the bartenders were a class act in handling the crowd. Their attentiveness and excellent service were commendable. What really stood out were the drinks - we couldn't get enough of them! During a conversation with one of the bartenders, we learned that they make their sour mix in-house, which added a delightful twist to our whiskey sours.
Now, let's delve into the food. We kicked things off with the calamari, which arrived at our table cooked to perfection. The balance of tenderness and crispiness was spot on. For our entrees, my husband opted for the fried cod sandwich with a side of truffle Parmesan fries. He raved about the sandwich, noting its delicious flavor and satisfying portion size. I went for the burger, which was a delightful surprise. It arrived perfectly cooked to my preference, and the accompanying shoestring onion rings added a satisfying crunch to the meal.
In conclusion, I can't recommend Castaways enough. Despite the busy Labor Day weekend, the staff managed to provide top-notch service, and the food and drinks were superb. If you're looking for a great place to unwind and have good food and drinks, this is the spot! We'll definitely be returning for more. read more
