CastAway Restaurant Semabu Hills — Restaurant in Nusa Penida Subdistrict

Excellent restaurant at a great hotel on Nusa Penida. Prices are very reasonable considering this is one of the nicest places on the island and so guests ostensibly have more money to spend, and we enjoyed the 50k IDR cocktails each night we stayed here (technically only available during happy hour, but happy hour runs from 5pm-9pm so they're effectively available at this price all night).

Food is very good and well presented, both Indonesian and Western options, and the breakfast that is included with your stay at the hotel is top-notch and the best breakfast we've had in Bali. Oh, and the views are as great as everyone else says they are. Staying here (and eating here) felt like being at an oasis and a welcome change of pace from the activities of the days spent exploring elsewhere on...

I had a wonderful time dining at Castaway Restaurant. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding hills, it's the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The staff were warm, attentive, and made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I especially loved the grilled seafood platter with fresh seafood and the unique blend of local and international flavors on the menu. Every dish was full of taste and clearly made with care. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a casual lunch with friends, or just a great place to enjoy the view with a cocktail, Castaway is a must-visit. I can’t wait...

The food here wasn't very good. As a westerner, I thought it would be a good idea to order a steak. Turns out, it wasn't. The menu item said "tenderloin," but it was anything but tender. Extremely tough, lacked flavor, and covered with this brown sauce that actually seems to detract from the steak. I also ordered bruschetta and it was not great either. The bread was sweet and the vegetables on top seemed old, and once again, lacked flavor. Luckily the fries were fine and the smoothie I had earlier was very good.

The view and atmosphere here is awesome. They just need to get someone in there to get the cooks up-to-date with improving the menu or the preparation of the items currently...
