Restaurants near Roger Jessup Recreation Center

The Castaway - Burbank is a wonderful restaurant. The food and drink options are delicious. The only issue I have is the choice of music and how loud it’s played. The style of music played I think is more club-ie than for a really great restaurant that has is on the higher price end. I’m not saying the music should be orchestral and old, just not that club never ending loud beat music. Plus it was so loud on the patio. It didn’t match the restaurant at all.

I was there on Friday night for a birthday dinner of 14 people, unknowingly the same restaurant I made reservations for a Saturday brunch. The food and service were excellent Friday night. Came back Saturday for a birthday brunch of five people. Sonia, our server, was amazing, and Kyle, the manager, was very accommodating! Great restaurant, atmosphere, service, and food! 👍🏽

Our server was Chanel and she was excellent! She was charming and pleasant throughout our meal and gave us great suggestions. We’ll be asking for her when we return! ❤️

Everything was exceptional—the food and service were top-notch. However, I ordered the flat iron steak and, unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan and won't be ordering it again. It had a strange flavor, almost like it was marinated in wine or something that didn’t sit well with me. I still ate it for two reasons: I was with my team and didn’t want to make a fuss. But I couldn’t quite place that flavor—no amount of salt could mask it. That said, everything else was fantastic. The calamari was perfectly fried and seasoned. The cheese bread—delicious! And my wedge salad? Wow, you guys loaded it up, and I truly appreciated that! Just the steak I couldn’t finish. Thank you, and happy holidays!

Booked a large party for a birthday brunch. Service, food, mariachi, and overall experience was great! We all had a great time!
