"We came to Castaway Café for brunch and had a really pleasant experience overall. Parking can be a bit tricky, but the restaurant has two free parallel spots right next to the café if you get lucky. Otherwise, you can check in at the hotel front desk for parking validation and park nearby, which helps. We were seated immediately in a beautiful outdoor table just a few feet from the ocean. The view and atmosphere were fantastic and definitely one of the highlights of the visit. For food, I ordered the omelet, my wife had the avocado toast, and we also shared a banana bread. Compared to other breakfasts we’ve had in Hawaii, this was actually very good. The food was well-prepared and flavorful. The banana bread itself was tasty and moist. The only small downside was the butter served with the banana bread — it was salted, which didn’t really pair well with a sweet banana bread. The coffee was also just okay, nothing special. Overall, great location, solid food, and a relaxing brunch experience. Definitely worth visiting, especially for the oceanfront seating."

"Came here for dinner and it was an amazing experience. We were seated immediately at a table near the ocean which treated us to a fantastic sunset. Our server Conseta (I hope the spelling is correct) was fantastic. Very quirky individual, but in an entertaining way, singing a lot of good songs as she came around the tables. The food and drinks were excellent. I ordered the lava flow and paradise punch to drink and the fish tacos to eat. This was one of the best dining experiences of my entire vacation. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone."

"Absolutely delicious breakfast spot! My husband had the loco moco and I had the huevos rancheros. We sat on the breezeway and had a stunning view of the water. We were seated right away around 9:15am and our food came out quickly after ordering. Our waitress, Karina, was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!"

"Castaway Café is one of the cutest little spots along the waterfront and very easy to access. Great brunch: Eggs Benedict and the French Toast are excellent; highly recommended. Classic American breakfast and pancakes are less impressive (a bit spongy). Lovely location and very kind waitstaff. The hosts who assign tables weren’t especially friendly (experienced twice with two different ladies)."

"Great ambience and service. The Kula strawberry salad was amazing— very well balanced flavors and super fresh ingredients. The fried cheese curds were great as well. On the other hand, the vegetarian stir fry was a pretty half-hearted attempt. It was a bit bland and more of a sauté."
