    FILET MIGNON SAMMIE and CAVIAR FRITES

    Beautiful view our server was so sweet! Spent my birthday here everything was delicious!! Worth the price for a special occasion. I didn't get a 1920s speakeasy vibe because of the modern music I guess? I wish they had a better selection but anyway everyone needs to come here at least once to experience it.

    Scenic views.

    The Green Room is a pretty amazing experience (with a couple of hiccups). I stopped by this speakeasy on a Thursday evening at 9 p.m. I made a reservation through OpenTable. Located inside of Castaway, valet is your only real option. I found some street parking which was about a 10 minute walk. The problem was the road you need to walk down has no sidewalk and it's pitch dark. I figured risking getting run over by a car isn't worth it. Especially at night. Ambiance (5/5): This is one of the areas where The Green Room Shines. Once you walk into Castaway, tell the front desk you have a reservation. They will lead you through a hidden door close to the bathroom to get into the speakeasy. From there, you'll have the option of either sitting inside (where you'll find Prohibition-era vibes) or outside on the patio. I highly recommend sitting on the patio. Despite the chilly weather while I was there, part of the appeal of The Green Room (and The Castaway if you're going to the restaurant instead) are the scenic views of LA. The Green Room is located at the top of a mountain so amazing views await. Especially if you're there at sunset. Service (2.5/5): Room for improvement here, for sure. From reading reviews prior to my visit, other Yelpers talked about having to solve a puzzle to enter the speakeasy and then receiving a welcome drink. This wasn't part of my experience. I'm not sure if it's something they no longer do, or if I was unlucky, but it was a bummer either way. Part of the appeal of a speakeasy is the mystery and intrigue of getting in. And who doesn't like a welcome drink?! My waiter, on the other hand, did a pretty good job. He was charming and explained each of the cocktails. He was a little less attentive than I like, but overall, it was good. They also have free WiFi which is also a good touch. Another knock is that valet is $11 (plus a processing fee if you pay by card). I'm not from California, so I'm not used to Cali prices, but this seems a little steep in my mind. There's no reason for the entire parking lot to be valet. There easily could be self-parking there. It's just a money-making scheme. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior so I was on a liquid diet. They do have a food menu though. Drinks (4.5/5): If you're looking for clever, over-the-top drinks, you'll have that option at The Green Room. What's cool is that the specialty cocktails are all inspired by various movies including Aladdin, Snow White, Crazy Rich Asians, and more. The Aladdin-inspired cocktail is served in a teapot and is for two. The Snow White-inspired cocktail comes with a mirror and lipstick where you can write stuff on the mirror. Talk about creativity! If you're looking for something less intense, they have normal cocktails too, as well as wine. As the self-appointed king of speakeasies, one of the things I look for at a speakeasy is creativity and an interesting blend of flavors and ingredients. You certainly have that here. The Green Room features some of the most creative cocktails I've ever experienced. Combine that with the incredible views, and it's quite the experience. Without some problematic service elements, they would easily be a five-star experience.

    We really enjoyed our Friday evening here! It's a beautiful bar/restaurant with quite the view of the surrounding area; the decor is open and upscale and it's great! The service was friendly and pleasant and prompt, and our food and wine were great. Absolutely will recommend and return!

    Rib CASTAWAY DRY AGED BITES $42. And yes, they were 1x1 inch and very thin slices of meat.
    Dawn A.

    The appeal of this place is not offset by the negatives. 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

    Paid Vacation, Crazy Rich Cocktail, Cavier Frites
    Shirley W.

    Made a reservation for Saturday night 7pm and there were still plenty of tables available. Except, sitting in the patio gets filled out quickly, so we were only able to sit inside. Later in the night, the restaurant does get more filled, so a reservation is definitely recommended. Especially how some tables may stay for a long while. Patio is also quite small too. If you're there for the views and don't have a table, it'll be hard to see lol They offered a welcome drink which was pretty nice, very refreshing and fruity! Service was quite quick and attentive as well, very friendly! Our server offered some recommendations as it was our first time there, which we ended up getting the Paid Vacation, Crazy Rich Cocktail, and the caviar frites. The cocktails here are quite a show. The presentation is really nice here! It really elevates the experience. The drinks are also pretty strong (if you're weak to alcohol like me lol). I enjoyed the paid vacation a lot more cause it was sweet, but the crazy rich cocktail in my opinion looked the nicest between the two. Except, that it was pretty hard to drink. It's very 'smokey' and my bf described it as lighter fluid. As for the caviar frites, this was recommended by the server, but honestly this would be a pass for us haha. It was just something that we never tried before, so we were curious to try, but the caviar and the sauce they had with it going on in the fries, it really didn't do too much to enhance flavors. Also the fries could have been crispier, it was a bit undercooked, but maybe personal preference for people. Not sure for the rest of the food here, but I would just get drinks here. Overall, our experience was really nice here. Drinks were flashy, also considerably strong. Service was really nice here as well. The bar/restaurant isn't entirely that big either, so it's a must for reservation. Valet parking was $11.

    The green room was such a fun experience. All of the cocktails have a fun and fancy presentation with one themed like crazy Rich Asians, and one like a Tiffany's box. The food was all right, we tried the caviar fries and it was a big portion. The best part of this place is the view for sure.

    This was my first time at the Green Room, but I've been to Castaway a handful of times! Parking is valet only. Make sure to make a reservation. I've been wanting to come here for years and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the drinks were fun and tasty. I loved the presentation of the drinks. We were seated outside, so it was nice to enjoy the view. Next time I'll have to try and sit inside to see what that's like. I wish I could remember the name of our server to shot her out, because she was amazing!

    CharaGG K.

    Beautiful location and great presentation on both the food and drinks. I made reservations twice requesting outdoor seating (and even called and left a message regarding being seated outside), but was seated inside both times, which was disappointing. Also, the menu is pretty limited. Food is good overall, but small service details matter. The staff is very nice but my drink came in a cracked glass and by the time I got someone's attention, I had already finished it.

    Hot seafood tower
    Crystal G.

    The food was good, but there weren't a whole lot of options. I tried the oysters, caviar fries, the lunchbox, the after school snack and the hot seafood tower. I enjoyed all the food but the pizza pocket thingies were a little underwhelming. I enjoyed my oysters but on my friend's platter there was an oyster with barely and meat on it and I was surprised they even served it. The drinks were good and very "show-ey." The service was good- our server was cool and friendly enough. The ambiance is a 10 and I'd go back for that alone. I heard this place has happy hour, so I'll definitely go back for that!

    Obsessed with these filet mignon Sammies ever since I tried it on the castaway tasting menu 2 years ago. These are cute bite sizes and good appetizers. The drinks are fun. This part of the restaurant is so much more intimate with the same amazing view. Truly enjoyed a nice evening here. And everything else was delicious! Love this place.

    WOW - what a find this place was!! Best happy hour spot in the Burbank area. FOOD/DRINK The food and drink experience was delicious and unique. I loved the creative touches and presentation this place offered. I got the Paid Vacation drink with the tongue-numbing flower that changes the way the drink tastes. The flower was not the most pleasant thing to eat, but the experience was worth it. The After School Snack (calzones) were INCREDIBLE! The Terrarium wasn't anything too special, and I did enjoy the Special Delivery kimchi balls. AMBIENCE/SERVICE We were greeted into our secret speakeasy experience with a free taste of the drink of the day - it was fantastic. The views were also absolutely stunning. I'd definitely want to come again during sunset. NOTE: Parking is valet only ($9 I believe?), but there is free parking about 7 minutes down the slight hill if the weather is nice and you don't mind a mini hike! The servers were friendly, and overall I will be coming back here for sure!

    Free shot for the birthday girl
    Katie L.

    Took my niece here to celebrate her 21st birthday and she loved it. Besides the incredible view, the staff was amazing, especially our server Jasmine. She went out of her way to make her feel special and brought her a free shot presented in this cool box with dry ice and wrote her a personalized birthday note. Food was great, presentation was top notch. Niece was impressed and we are left with great memories of this special day.

    This is a lot of things. It's a scene. It's a special occasion place. It's a show. There's stunning and iconic views. And they serve food too. Everything here is drama. Getting here is an event - I didn't even know Burbank HAD mountains like this... and you keep going up and up and up... Then, walking in and being told I would need to solve a puzzle to figure out a password to gain entry. I did not comply. I'm truly no fun in that way. I made a reservation so I'm coming in, you know? Anyway, I lightened up when presented with the "free nightly cocktail". Nice surprise. I don't remember what it was but it was a tasty little drink to help ease me into this experience. Which, as I mentioned before, is A LOT. The patio view is stunning. Absolutely amazing. And you will recognize it from dozens of TV shows and movies. When the sun is out, the view is remarkable. When it's dark, it's even better. Unfortunately, there is no practical seating. The tables are too small for the giant presentations and nothing is designed with having food in mind. We definitely planned on making this our dinner, not just drinking it. The best seats are probably the lounge chairs with the low tables in front of them, which allow for both people to enjoy that view... of course, you'll have to bend considerably low to reach any food on the table. Eating clearly is not the point here. And you know that because the food is... well it's for show. It's not terrible but it's so wild and outlandish that if it actually did manage to be delicious, you'd be gobsmacked. But it's not. We started with "The Terrarium" - and yes, everything here has a silly name. This is hummus with fried pita and veggies. It's served on an enormous wooden platter with the pita crazily exploding into tall shards. It's something to see. It's not particularly good. The hummus is strictly grocery store case and the pita was stale. We also had the Hot Seafood Tower. That was not bad. The seafood is seasoned like one of those "seafood boil in a bag" places and they didn't give us anything to crack the crab legs and lobster with so it was a pretty messy experience. We liked the oysters and the crab and lobster were fine. The scallops were overcooked, which happens, but they were still edible. Drinks are just as outlandish as everything else. We saw cocktails delivered in a bed of flowers, in a "poison apple" with a mirror to write on in lipstick, and various other theatrical presentations. I had the Tropical Thunder, which came with a story. Our eyes hurt from rolling so much... but yeah, we were having fun. These designer cocktails are NOT cheap - at least $22 and upwards of $40 or more. They aren't strong either, but if you drink too much you wouldn't be able to make it off the mountain, so they're probably doing you a favor. Dessert was a big miss but also a really big show... we had "A Pie-Rates Life For Me"... yeah, we didn't know what it was either. The description is a lot of dessert type words that don't go together. It turned out to be pretty much a baked Alaska. It was lit on fire (natch) with a pour of booze. And that was all you tasted throughout the dessert. The raw alcohol soaked the meringue outside and the cake inside had also been soaked in booze. We couldn't eat more than a few bites. But what a show! Despite everything, this was a great evening out. The room is vibrant and full of the beautiful people in very revealing clothing and terrifyingly high heels. We know they're not here for the food. No one is. Take someone that isn't from LA here and they will be astounded. But give 'em dinner at the Smokehouse first...

    Ask the Community - The Green Room

    How do we get seating out at the patio?

    Ask the host they will accommodate if there's an availability

    Do they seat you when you come in or you sit yourself?

    I was there last weekend, they directed us to our seating area but we got to select our table as there weren't many people there yet.

    Are kids allowed?

    They say they're family friendly however they don't have a kids meal and to be honest I've never seen kids in there or seen high chairs.

    Is there music on Saturday nights?

    Yes, there is a DJ that plays music.

    Do they host private events?

    I understand they hold private events, up to 35 people. Must call to confirm.

    Any dress code?

    Yes. They ask that you wear business casual, such as a nice button up or sweater. (for men) I would say just dress nice, as you would for any fancy restaurant. No sweatshirts or flip flops.

    Can you wear sneakers with slacks?

    I'd say you can. There is a dress code, but it was not strictly enforced.

    What's the parking situation?

    Valet

    Are there vegan options?

    I'm not sure, you might have to call or check online

    Are there heaters on the outdoor patio?

    Yes there are, they will move them to accommodate your seating

    Is this a good place for a birthday party in December for 20 people?

    It's a great place for a special occasion! The view alone is worth it. Plus, the menu (especially the dessert tower) will be fun and a show stopper. Hope this helps

    Do they offer cigars?

    They do not. They have a dish that is made to resemble cigars, but they do not actually offer any.

    Is smoking allowed outside out on the patio (cigars or cigarettes)?

    I do not think so. I stepped out to the parking lot.

    Are kids allowed?

    No. 21 and over. They check IDs.

    Do you Need a reservation just for drinks?

    Yes

    Is there music and dancing?

    The music was excellent on a Friday evening when we visited but no dance floor on the patio but hey, a party is what you make it

    Is there a dress code?

    Hope this helps. From their website... Dress code: Upscale attire. We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing hats,…

Street parking or you can park in the lots close by of Walgreens or Ralph's and walk over. There are signs stating towing but I don't think it would likely happen.

    This place came up several times when I researched on great restaurants that have excellent vibes…read moreand great food. Although it didn't really necessarily show up as "the best food in LA area" but all the reviews were so good so I became curious to try. Mainly the reviews also raved about the vibes, services, and live music. Well, they were not wrong! It was fairly easy to make a reservation through Opentable, and I made a reservation for two people for my birthday dinner on Sunday night. I put on the notes that it's my bday so it'll be nice to get a nice table near the stage. I didn't have a high expectation, cos I'd never been to the place and I didn't make a call or anything. But wow, they definitely gave us a great table at the very front! As many reviewers had mentioned, the acoustic of the restaurant is really great. You can barely hear other people's conversations. There's a live jazz band playing, so you can really enjoy that. Although it made it slightly hard to hear what other nearby people say to you either, haha. Our server Dawson was a really great one! Very nice, very informative and just has a great vibe that made you feel comfortable to converse with him. We also asked if he could take a picture of us and he went above and beyond with taking our pictures haha. He took the table lamp as our additional "lighting". Such a great service! Dawson also made a few suggestions on food. We ordered the milk bun (so great!), the tiger prawns tostada (omg, my favorite of the night!), braised lamb pasta, pork belly risotto, and roasted broccolini. Everything was really good and really filled us up! We also got the "smokin old fashioned" and "Wake up and repeat" cocktails. It was plenty of food for us so we asked for a check. Dawson asked if we wanted a dessert but we were already full. He asked if it's ok to give us a lil treat for my bday. It was a really nice dessert :). Oh I forgot to mention that they also put a small bday card on the table for me. The prices of food and drinks are on the higher sides, but I feel like it's worth it due to the live music and the vibe. It easily covers the entertainment part. We definitely will go back and recommend this place for anyone who's looking into a nice date night or to celebrate something special. I was informed that Friday has more of a "party vibe" here, although it's still a jazz performance. Sunday feels more laid back :) Overall I'm really pleased by this place. I used to think that I don't care that much about excellent service as long as the food is great, but I was wrong. The excellent hospitality just made the night even better than expected. Thank you for making my bday dinner memorable.

    This place was on my list and we happen to pop in at 5pm but reservations are highly recommended…read more It was a little difficult to find because it's just a door without any signs, but I saw the valet guy pop out so we figured it was the entrance. The usually have a live band after 7pm and the sound in the resturant is amazing. It's like a recording studio. The staff was very friendly! The decor and ambiance was also impressive. Definitely swanky but down to earth vibes. I got the rasberry beret cocktail and it was different but fabulous. Not sure how else to describe it. It was refreshing. We got the tiger prawns and it was presented as a toasta, which had a great flavor and texture. The apple salad was also refreshing and a good portion to share between 2 people. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and my favorite after the tiger prawns was the Dungeness crab pasta. It had uni on top! The uni elevated the dish, and honestly there were a good amount of crab meat in the dish. Overall well balanced and creamy. The 2 of us left full and satisfied. Highly recommend this place for a date night. There's also plenty of street parking when we went but there is also valet for $15.

    My boyfriend and I came here to watch a World Cup match and were some of the first customers…read moreinside! We were immediately struck by how cool the decor is! Employees were super friendly and we were excited that they were showing the telemundo World Cup coverage. The menu was great. We split the carnitas plate and got Long Island iced tea. The brought out complimentary chips and salsa as well. The salsa was so good! The carnitas plate was awesome. It came with rice and beans and plantains. It was perfect for us to split. If we were still hungry, we already had planned on ordering à la carte tacos, but the plate was perfect. We were pleased. The menu was great, food was good, drink was good, and we had a nice time! I'll definitely come back!

    WARNING: Not all Kalavera's are the same! I've been to many locations from silver lake, Santa…read moreMonica, marina, puente hills, and this location is the worst by far. Completely different menu. Food was beyond sub par you can make the food at home and would taste better! Save your money. Everything we had from two orders of "taquitos", "esquite", quesadillas and a blood orange mojito. The only thing with a bit of flavor was the esquite, but again to pay for roasted corn on the cob with just mayo and cheese? For $13 ? NEVER AGAIN. I have a problem with the way they name their items which is a bit misleading. For example, they have an item called taquitos, meaning you would expect a rolled fried taquitos. What came was tacos dorados so why is it named taquitos? They DID write on the menu that it's fried tacos..but again why are they not just calling it TACOS DORADOS? Same with esquite typically esquites are corn off the cob but this was on the COBB and yes it was described on the menu as on the Cobb but again why not call it ELOTE instead of esquite. Clearly this is semantics but just frustrating. If you want authentic Mexican food there is a Don Cuco's around the block that is WAY better than this place. They are at a different tier than this Kalavera's location. If you're a drinker perhaps that would make the food taste better...so disappointed and a waste of money!

    My girl friend lives in Burbank so this is frequently part of our rotation. The ambiance and…read moretheming is fun, the tropical drinks are great, and they have a pretty substantial food menu compared to other tiki bars I've been to. I generally gravitate towards the fish tacos and either get tots or onion rings. Their ranch is amazing - really creamy and herby. And I always start with a mai tai before moving onto something stronger like a Zombie. The last time we went it was so packed we had to sit at the low-top part of the bar which was kind of like being at the kids table when everyone else is towering around you, but we didn't mind. I wish I could remember our bartender's name, but he was really attentive. The service there, in my experience, has always been good. Anyway - I've been here many, many times over the years but have never left a review, so I decided I needed to change that. I'm glad this place continues to do well (it's almost always busy when I'm there) - I will continue to spread the good word and bring new people there. :)

She is friendly and genuinely fun to talk to. And she makes the BEST Chupacabra drink! Seriously, if you go, ask for Monica and have her make you one. She absolutely nailed it. Great drinks, amazing energy, and even better service. Highly recommend Broken Compass, and especially Monica! We'll definitely be back.

This place underwent an ownership change in October 2023 and is under new management. It's your classic friendly neighborhood dive that serves up expertly crafted cocktails at budget friendly prices. The bartenders are fantastic! Especially Alex, who is friendly & engaging. I specifically came here to support my girl, Johanna. She was doing a guest bartending shift. An added bonus was also seeing Alex and my buddy Juan (who also works here). In honor of National Margarita Day (2/22) Johanna created some specialty cocktails featuring Tromba Tequila. I started with a Classic Margarita. It was absolutely perfect and made with fresh lime & agave. The bartenders here make everything from scratch. No bottled mixers, which is how it should be. For dessert I had the Espresso Martini (Tromba Cafeto, Tromba Reposado, & Cold Brew). It was my first time having an Espresso Martini with tequila, and it was delicious! Perfectly balanced and not overpowering. During my visit I had the pleasure of speaking with the new owner, Sung. She was darling and she genuinely cares about her establishment, staff, and clientele. We had a great chat and she told me that she's thinking of adding a dart board and possibly a Pac Man tabletop. Most importantly, she wants to make sure customers have a memorable experience. I can honestly say that it absolutely was for me! Even though it was a school night I couldn't leave without doing a shot with my favorite crew. A Mexican Candy shot (Tromba Blanco, Watermelon, Agave), which was another delicious creation that I thoroughly enjoyed. This may have been my first visit to Gold Rail Bar, but it definitely won't be my last. I love, love, love this place! And, it's dog friendly too!
