Casual Dining in Cannon Beach
Small popular place in Cannon Beach. Suggest reservations. Italian and seafood specialities. Don't think you can go wrong. I had seafood gnocchi's and my wife had scallops. Both were excellent.

Solid
They should make it easier to get a reservation. We liked the vibe of the place. The service attentive. We ordered the lobster bisque 5/5, bone in pork chop 5/5, creole etouffee 2.5/5 (too much roux flavor). Although I appreciated the quantity of the seafood in the dish, a lower price and normal to étouffée. We had a dessert 4/5.

Great little restaurant in Cannon Beach
Nice menu with something for everyone. Dishes have a Cajun flare to them but not too spicy. Service is very good, especially for Oregon, where good service can be hard to find.

Foodies Delight !
We celebrated our anniversary here. It is all about the food, it is like eating at a friends home full of friends and your host is a 3 Star Michelin chef. It is beautifuly noisy and casual to a fault. The Food, The Food !!! Service was excellent on spot. Wonderfull Cocktails. The Chef came out after our meal at the end of service and chatted us up for 10 minutes, what a joy! After 56 years of celebrating anniversaries this was the best meal of them all (just inching out Mama's Fish House).

Average food : absurdly overpriced!
We must have gone to a different restaurant than featured in 80% of the reviews which gave castaways an “excellent” review. First the good news: the service was very good and personable and the atmosphere was pleasant. To be fair I also understand the Price Point of anything in Canon Beach is very high. With this said the Castaways is absurdly overpriced. It makes NYC, SF and Santa Fe restaurants ( some of the best in the country) among others seem like relative bargains. We started with their version of” salad cups” which turned out to be 3 pieces of Romain lettuce with some chopped concoction on top. New England has nothing to worry about with Their lobster Bisque which was over salted and had little flavor (you have to ask for bread) . Their $57 “ Seafood Etouffee” was a decent $30 dish but nothing noteworthy and absurd for that price. Oh, and a bourbon that costs $29 a bottle at State Store was $17! In sum I don’t mind paying top dollar for exceptional cuisine but this was top $$ and far from exceptional.
