The view was superb and even impressive waterfalls over a wood covered bridge for those who want magical photographs. The wedding I attended for a dear friend left me feeling so happy for them, I can think of no better place to unite two lives who are truly special. Absolutely worth booking for events.
One of the best meals I have ever had. I had a little bit of everything, and I even got to meet the chef. The manager Brian was awesome, and he was very helpful in helping me to make my selections. I recommend you try the food here. The taste is definately worth the experience. Great service, and very good staff.
Food was alright. It took an hour for is to order and receive our food. I know it was busy but an hour was a bit long. I ate my dinner at 9 pm and wasn't hungry anymore so it wasn't enjoyable.
It is beautiful the romantic and quiet place the delicious food really had an amazing time
Every single dish was exquisite. The tuna and salmon were amazingly fresh and the prime rib was thick and melted in our mouths. I highly recommend the salmon eggs Benedict. The chef is an artist. Our hostess was very sweet and liberal with the champagne which was delicious and I usually hate champagne.
Edward was our server, very cordial and knowledgeable. We chose from the 3 course win paired menu wife had stuffed mishrooms, I had the calamari. Main course wife had prime rib, I had shrimp with pasta. For desert we both chose strawberry shortcake. The wines paired with each course we're well selected and very good. We will be returning.
Worst Brunch Ever. Food was not great and the food areas were extremely messy and under-kepped. Will not be returning.
I loved this place, from the Food, to the views . A fairly expensive place but the food is worth it.
Amazing environment, Romantic vibes, great food, spectacular view & very nice staff!
This is one of my favorite restaurants. It's definitely pricier than your average, but it is by far, worth every penny. The food here has always been on point. The steaks and vegetables are always cooked to perfection and the servers are so attentive and entertaining. It's not a place I can afford to go all the time, but it's definitely one for a nice romantic dinner with the wife, or a special occasion. I highly recommend this place! You'll be coming back for more.
Food was wonderful, and Hope made our dining experience amazing! The venue is so beautiful, and has gorgeous views.
The best waiter ever, Indalecio! The food was amazing, perfect setting, great champagne! Had the buffalo mozzarella appetizer and shrimp. Couldn't be better. And the views!
Sunday Brunch was AMAZING!!! I only eat fish for protein and they had plenty of Salmon and Cod. I can honestly say that everything I ate was good from main dishes to dessert.
Cant wait to go back n yes im staying ALL DAY#ALLYOUCANEAT!
Clam chowder off the hook! Oh and the pepper shaker actually dispenses pepper. (I hate those stingy pepper shakers). Bread is fresh and good. Our waitress did a great job explaining the menu.
Our waiter Alex was very respectful and knowledgeable, we highly recommend visiting during the evening hours. It was a great VALENTINE'S DAY
The food is great n the service is the best. Our server Ismael is the best.
Great hidden gem, beautiful view, atmosphere, and delicious food
Beautiful, elegant, nice ambiance, and great food! You can plan events there - it's very nice. I've been there a couple of times and I plan to return.
The staff were very professional and helpful. The foods presentation was great, and the food was tasteful; the entertainment (music) was excellent. I would recommend your establishh for events and dinners.
My husband brought me for my birthday. The view was amazing. The food was delicious. But the server didn't even offer desserts just assumed we were finished and handed us our check.
Awesome and flavorful food, I like the character this place has, and the staff members were super nice. I will definitely eat here again.
It's elegant dining at it's best. You can take the whole family they are a family-friendly restaurant. I love to go to their weekend brunch where they have a huge assortment of goodies and an omelet station where they make your omelet to your specific taste while you watch. It's great. The only thing is they are a little pricey but the quality is second to none. The staff are courteous and helpful and everything is very clean and organized. Overall a very pleasant dining experience.
It wasn't worth the price. Nice setting, food was decent, but nothing I couldn't find elsewhere for less.
I never seen any restaurant like this! we've been waiting for almost 3 hours for our food ! Service is ok but I don't think they have a chef cook ! We order a lobsters the last minute and they said they don't have it ! Please don't come to this restaurant
Castaway is part of a small Southern California chain. They have excellent food, like rack of lamb, the usual steak selections as well as a multitude of other offerings. Their Sunday brunch is outstanding. The only downside is that they are quite pricey, even for their high level of quality.
Fantastic service, food and personal.
But food , amazing and excellent taste. Happy Valentines all. Looking forward to come again with all my friends and family. Cheers
Terrible service! After ordering 45 minutes later only two appetizers were brought and nothing else. I asked about our order and twenty minutes later they still had not had our food out. Ended up leaving. The appetizers were too spicy as well.
My children took me to brunch for Mother's Day. I have always enjoyed Castaway's. My children have never been. They thought it was a beautiful place and the food was terrific.
Food was really great, service really needed some help. I can tell that this was "event" was thrown together, unfortunately, a place that has been known in the inland empire for their above the standards has now been dropped. If you dont expect the best of the area you'll fine. I'm just to above average service here. 8 wish they had a regular staff I'm sure things would be better but you can tell that they now hire for events only. I'm not sure if the other location went through the same changes that san Bernardino went through but know what your getting into, I hope this helps. To add I think the chefs that were working the stations for the Buffet were great, good attention to their customers and timely as possible. This is probably the best food around here unless your willing to travel to another area where they do this regularly. I know that Castaway can come back to where they use to be but it would take some work. Just to mention I would come back here again. Oh and yes a little bitter because we didnt have a waiter or waitress the entire time we were seated, was service by who ever random person I could wave down and ask for a refill or to take our plates, had to say that had an effect in this write up.
Food was horrible! Service was so so and they didn't even have the lights and firepits lit on the patio. Real disappointed.

I think the main attraction of this place is the location. It is located at the top of a hill with an excellent view of the surrounding area. The food for the brunch is average with a few exceptions. I would recommend the omlet station and the desert cart.
Yikes.. we went back a second (against my better 1/2s wishes) . But it was pretty terrible again. Stale bread over slated and cooked food. Deserts were definitely left overs from a previous party.. sucks. We live close be now and really hoped this place would be our go-to.. the view and setting is amazing though. Outdoor firepits etc.. they should get I together, there's almost no higher end restaurants between here and the pass.. I'd rather got Tony's dinner !!! :)
It's a very beautiful place best place to have weddings and u can go there for Christmas, Valentine's day it's just so magical to be there. I recommend going there.
Good service. Not so good food.
Husband took employees here for holiday dinner. Service was great! One person waited on food for 40 minutes after everyone got theirs. Waitress explained that she didn't like the way her lobster looked, so she had the cook make a new one. She ate her dinner while we were all finished and she said it was cold.
Holy cow it was amazing and there goes my rent money
This upscale restraunt at least that is what they are trying to be has given me and my beautiful wife our worst aniversarry/valentines days ever We originally had reservations on the 14th at 8pm and when i called to confirm i was told that they are fully booked for a month in advance and that would be impossible. i go online after the call and i am able to book a reservation on the 13th, (window seat) i thought you were a month out.. nope they are just incompatent. We get there and the outside is so beautiful with the river and outside fireplace. Unfortunetly there are no window seats available after i confirmed with tweedle dumb. We get seated Immediately and it takes about 45 minutes to get bread and put in our order. I asked them for well done beef briskets. They were not. My wife also asked them for her fillet minjion to be cooked meduim rare, it was not. It was well done. I got the parmasian chicken and the chicken was not cook through all the way. The ouside was burnt with the cheese i get what thay are doing, but it was not exicuted correctly. Toasted cheese it not supposed to taste burnt. I bit my toungue through the whole experiance... why? Because it was I and my wifes anniversary/ are early valentines day because they made it so since they have a hard time keeping track of reservations. I did want to ruin that night for my love, but they sure as f ruined it for me. They charged absurd prices for small portions and they are not even dilishious. BJ'S and olive garden is 10 times better. Oh dont even get me started on the decor inside the place. It is very out dated. The funny part of my night is when i tipped the waiter i gave him three dollars. You lose my reservation, you make me have valentines and my aniversary a day early, you cant get any of our request right, you bring pink chicken too the table and you expect a tip? Be happy for the three dollars.
Food is awesome. Nice place but expensive. Beautiful outdoor patio and view.
Love the filet mignon at this place and the outside fireplace is just so relaxing
Loved the service, food and drinks... just wish they had the fire pits on outdoors with the music
Have been here many times, last night, NewYears Eve 2014 was disappointing food wise. New chef? Don't know, but not worth the price.
This place is way over rated. The restaurant was empty and still took 1 hour to get our food. Once we got our food the NY steak I ordered medium was well done but by that time i just wanted to eat. The food needs more flavor. Overall I was not impressed with this place.
Went here for Sunday brunch and the food was mediocre. The price was too high for the quality of the food. The service was lacking and it appeared that the view room service area was understaffed. Our server was too busy working many tables that she could not attend to us quickly for simple things such as refills of the water or champagne. The desserts were lacking and some of them did not taste fresh. When coffee was refilled the coffee pot tasted like some of the old coffee was reused and watered down coffee was served, when it was addressed we were notified that there was no more coffee available. All in all I wouldn t come back here and pay the $49.99 due to the lack of service and average tasting food.
Servers were very nice, food was under cooked, overcooked, and vegetarian meals were served 30 minutes after the rest, not a good food experience. Bartender:Romando was great.
Funny place for a weekday lunch. More people drinking at noon on a Wednesday than you would expect.
It's fun. The service was typical of a bar (i.e. Slow for a work lunch but I don't mind). Had a sausage. Was good!
This place has terrible food and the the service is horrendous.
We've been here before and it was great. Don't know what changed but, the calamari was so salty it was inedible, and the waiter brought me a spoon that had what looked like dried beans on it. The only high point: at least the bartender knew what they were doing.
The view was very nice. The actual building needed some up keep. There was a broken window that needed repair, the overhead strands of lights were very dim, woodpaneling in the reception/event rooms. It took quite some time for our server to get back to us. It seemed like we'd see him about every 30 minutes. The food was okay. The view and my date was the best part of this restaurant.
Great restaurant. Food and service is great and so are the views.
Castaway is an upscale restaurant. It is an awesome place to take your spouse or date. The food and service is exceptional. The views are spectacular!
Celebrated our 26th Anniversary. Food was delicious. Service was very good.
Best time at any dinner place I didn't feel uncomfortable around the guest or employees.food was properly cooked and served.if there is anything negative to say it will be the alcohol is too much money. Enjoy

Our server izzy was really what made the experience great every thing else was so so
We have never written a review of a resturant before, but this experience was so bad that we decided to post a review. This is not the first time we dined at Castaways. Our other experiences were posititve. We were seated "near the bar" which in reality was a few feet from the bar stools. It was on a corner and the staff were zipping in and out of the area with large trays, glasses and pitchers. Also, the line for the bar was directly behind the chair and the patrons were chatting. We could not hold a conversation with one another. The food was cold - the cheese on stuffed mushrooms was not even melted it was so cold. The entrees were lukewarm. The steak was cooked well, the potatoes were cold, the salmon was half cooked. Took the cheesecake home so we could enjoy it. It was good. So, after 100 plus dollars we got a good salad and piece of cheesecake. The one star is for the cheesecake.
Excellent Christmas party for our Happy Wanderers Camping Club. Great food and view.
Food was awesome company was awesome waitress was below par. She had short memory issues and couldn't remember our drink order of 1 water 1sprite 1oj
Champagne brunch on Sunday is my favorite here. There is a good selection of food from the Krab legs to the pasta bar, fresh fruit, enchiladas and more. And don't forget the chocolate fountain :)
Great Hilltop Collection San Bernardino, super tasty. The staff is friendly and knowledgably.
Chief D., "Adam" worked his Culinary magic and i worked my magic stomach!! #bestintown
Definitely not what it used to be. We went on a Friday night for a graduation dinner and the place was empty, should have been a sign I guess... the food was good but the staff was frumpy looking with average service. The whole place looks run down. If you're celebrating something special I'd reconsider going to Castaway.
Calm ambiance , great choice of prime selection entrees suitable for dinner.
Very cool place to eat. It's fancy and makes you you feel rich . Like we're not all rich right.
Disappointed. Went today at 6pm to celebrate a birthday. Gate to parking lot was closed , no info on site about hours deviation other than should be open. Called the number and nobody answered, but the message said hours as well. Dont waste your time without calling ahead.
Beautiful place. Poor or actually no service. Sat down at table 15 minutes with nobody so much as even speaking to us after we were seated. We even made reservations.
Friendly service, awesome food....and a beautiful view of the city at night!!!
One of the best brunches ever! Great variety. Separate omelette station. Central carving station. Lots of salads and veggies. Multiple beef (ribs, roast, and prime rib), shrimp and salmon, pork chili verde, and much more. Great desserts: flan, pies, cakes and more. Not to mention bottomless champagne. Boy or boy. Located on the top of a hill with a great view of the valley. Plenty of parking. Great service. Izzie was always there with whatever you wanted. In shor: Fantastic
