I took it to the house and added a lot of things to make it tasty - it didn't have a bad taste, just very bland and pretty expensive for what it was. The service was great, though.

Stopped at Castaway for a midday snack. Oysters were fresh and a good size. Even my friend who…read moredoesn't particular enjoy seafood thought they were delicious. We also got the wings and parmesan fries. The BBQ wings were good--saucy and not too small. Fries were just meh. They're just fries and a good shareable but nothing special. The staff is so sweet and accommodating. My friends and I were here a few years back and sat at the corner table outside. Our waitress didn't hesitate to prep the table for us when we requested to sit there again. When I was here a few years back, they had nachos and they were probably the best I've ever had. Been thinking about them ever since. Petition to bring the nachos back!

Pro tip, get the Cajun rub with a side of buffalo sauce. Im still dreaming about them. So crispy and delicious. The buffalo sauce and ranch tastes homemade. Don't come for me that it's a side of ranch and not blue cheese. It's delicious, just eat it. We also got the tuna special. Super fresh and elevated plate design. They are stepping up the game for bar food. Also make sure you have a greyhound. I don't like grapefruit and I loved it. Make it double...and make it two! If you happen to find yourself off the ferry in fire island, this is a must stop.

I had planned to takethem to a different restaurant, but they didn't like the looks of the place! We ended up at the Taco Spot, with mixed success. The upside is that cocktails were quite good. The gal behind the bar knew her stuff. The food though was just so so. The chips and guac were decent, but the chips were commercial type, not homemade. We had chicken fajitas, ok but swimming in sauce, and a carnitas burrito which was underseasoned and mostly rice. The accompanying black beans were like they opened the can, rinsed the beans, and served them plain. No flavor whatsoever. The Pico de gallo was equally bland. The place was packed though, and I wondered if maybe most Long Islanders prefer this kind of underseasoned food?

Before we ate, we learned a little about the restaurant, the inspiration behind the menu, and the flavors in each dish. Fun fact: Ixchel is the Mayan Goddess, which adds even more meaning to the restaurant's name. Now, let's talk about the food! We enjoyed a tasting of several dishes, including tableside guacamole with chips and salsa, tortilla soup, handmade corn tortillas topped with different proteins, pibil (slow-roasted pork), a ceviche-style dish with shrimp and scallops, chicken mole, and sautéed shrimp with sweet potato. Every dish had its own unique flavor, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. My favorite of the night was definitely the handmade corn tortillas with the different proteins; they were so yummy! Of course, there was dessert! For dessert we had coconut flan and lemon cake, and both were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Even though our dinner was outside, I did get a look inside the restaurant, and the interior is just as beautiful as the patio. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
