So I check out their website! Very informative, detailed information, online form, phone number, Social media, etc.... and such a delight to discover an authentic rustic venue and like a one house hotel in our backyard! (Kind of!) very exciting! Today a picnic lunch, and tomorrow night an art exhibition! What's next! Ah yes, perhaps I need to plan a surprise birthday party! You will too once you see it!

The appeal of this place is not offset by the negatives…read more It's really marketed as more of an exclusive experience. Kind of like a speakeasy. The service is a one out of five for sure. We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

He was approachable, calm, and reassuring throughout the entire process, always making us feel confident that everything was in good hands.

We are deeply grateful to Art, Sarkis, and the entire team at Ikon for their dedication and outstanding service. Everyone -- from the security staff to the servers -- was attentive, kind, and genuinely helpful. The evening was seamless, joyful, and truly unforgettable. The engagement celebration was a huge success, and our guests were amazed by the beauty of the venue and the exceptional hospitality.

I love visiting Descanso Gardens -- this is not our first time here, and we keep coming back again…read moreand again. The gardens are beautiful in every season. Right now, roses and poppies are in bloom, and there are still a few camellias left. Lilacs, magnolias, tulips, and mimosa have already finished blooming, but there's still plenty to enjoy and see. One of the great things is that you can visit for free with an EBT card -- just show it at the entrance, which makes this place more accessible for families . There is a large free parking lot, which is very convenient. Inside, you'll also find a few cozy coffee spots and a nice gift shop. It's a perfect place for a peaceful walk, to relax, and to enjoy nature. Highly recommend!
