I no longer live in the bay area, so i thought id look up the Castaway on line to make sure the hours of operation were still the same. To my shock and dissapointment, I came across an old news artical,talking about the Castaway being abandoned! I could not believe my eyes!

I have so many fond memories, of dineing there on cold and stormy autumn evenings with my first boyfriend! The Castaway, was our favorite restraunt! The interior was well appointed, in a cozy old world decor. It kind of reminded me of an interior of an old pirate ship, with lots of rich dark wood and beautiful set tables twinkling by candle light !!! The food was wonderful, and the saled bar was always very fresh and delicious!!! I remember the castaway bartenders were very customer service oriented, and they made the best bloodymarys i’ve ever tasted!

The gorgeous view of the bay as the sun went down, is unforgettable!!! This restraunt was a true gem, and will never be replaced by no other!!! The Castaway will be imbedded in my memories, as the most romantic, and fine restraunt I’ve ever experianced!

Hopefully someone with an eye for class and elegance, will buy this place and referbish it, and bring it back to the way it was in its day, that would be wonderful news!!!

an office building be placed on this special location. I have very happy memories of family
dinners at the Castaway. Before my Father passed away he would get the family together as often as possible to have a special dinner there, it was his favorite.

Although the food quality varied over the years, it was an early location for a memorable wedding anniversary dinner for my wife and me; the first time I experienced a lavish buffet brunch; a charming wedding reception site; a destination for a birthday dinner on an incredibly stormy night; and many more fine memories.
