Castaway - Burbank

Burbank’s gem of a patio is hardly a secret. In fact, it’s been one of the SFV’s special-occasion go-tos for decades. But the Castaway your parents went to before prom has a whole new look: Its stellar, sweeping views of the Valley, Downtown and beyond remain, and in addition to sleeker, more modern décor, the menu’s also gotten a revamp. Steaks, whole roast fish, impressive charcuterie boards and luscious pastas are now the norm, and make for perfect snacky fare, full dinner or brunch on that spacious patio with one of L.A.’s most romantic views.
