I have lived nearby here for around 10 years and I never knew what I was missing out on. Castaways is a far too hidden gem. Before I went in, I expected this too be like a supper club or a bar but boy was I wrong. It was so much more than that. Upon entering, I walked up to the bar to decide what Iâd want to drink and was immediately surprised at their liquor selection. Very nice quality. My second surprise was their menu. I was immediately drawn to the risotto. I ordered the Mahi Mahi with risotto, zucchini and house made French onion soup. The soup was divine and served with a slice of baguette with cheese rather than the bowl covered in cheese. I liked this take on French onion soup. There were lots of onions still in the soup which I also appreciated. I could gave been satisfied with that alone but the rest was great too! I unfortunately had to leave right after the meal was served (due to my own poor time management) so I had just enough time to take a bite or two and had to save the rest for home and ate it at room temperature but it was still great. My extremely picky daughter ordered a huge burger and gobbled the whole thing up with only a few fries left. Iâm excited to come back and try more of their treats. Looking forward to ordering a side of truffle...
   Read moreI donât know whatâs happened to this place, but they really donât deserve one star if there was a zero they would get it. I was here this summer everything was great. Donât know whoâs running this place had to ask the waitress for our waters five time my brother steak was so full of fat. It was supposed to be a crusted. New York strip no crust just threw the gravy on it dried potatoes mashed potatoes didnât give them butter they canât even get the burgers to the right people nor can the cook read an order correctly. , I will never come back. Highly disappointed. Itâs a shame that itâs gone downhill used to be a great place. You need a manager here and not servers who lean against the bar and donât take care of their patrons and somebody that can actually cook.
Coming from someone who used to run and manage restaurants this wouldâve never of been OK in my restaurant. Not even sure if thereâs anyone in charge here ask for manager couldnât get one and I donât wanna hear that youâre short staffed because you got for weight staff two bartenders and the weight staff is...
   Read moreUpon walking into Castaways on French Island WI you immediately feel like you are family. Alea as the hostess greeted us as we walked in and Pat the bartender and sever immediately asked how we were doing and said we have an amazing treat in store for you. We settle on wine, a ceaser salad and the special of the day for dinner. The special being slice whole roasted beef shoulder filet with malt red wine gas-trek sauce with asparagus and mushroom risotto. What an amazing and mouthwatering delight this was. Chef Taite came and checked on us with the enthusiasm that only comes with someone that has a passion for what he does. Dessert was a hazelnut crÚme brûlée. All I can say is the owner Dan and all his staff deserve in the world of hockey what would be considered a hat trick! Ambiance, staff, and really family made this a must to keep...
