Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Pacoima

The Odyssey is 5 minutes from our house, This year for our wedding anniversary we decided to try the Castaways and SURE GLAD WE DID. Very little traffic we arrived 35 minutes early and they asked if we wanted to be seated early? I said sure, we were given a outside table for 2 heater already on as the temp would be dropping, and a perfect view. Wyatt our server arrived within a few minutes introduced himself and was PERFECT in everyway throughout our stay. If I had to say something re the atmoshere.. the music was really loud at first a couple near us made the comment "Are they entertaining pit cobra's" for the middle eastern type of music, (On Thanksgiving??) lucky for ALL a within 10 minutes later the music was lowered. I'm sure the music was aimed at a younger crowd that bailed on their family dinner for a night out. All in all our evening was great and well worth 6K stars.

Salmon was overcooked. Wine did not arrive until I prompted the waiter. Bread did not arrive until it was requested twice. It was Thanksgiving with a skeleton crew. Had to ask for proper set ups so we could eat. We were told dessert came with meal when it did not.

Beautiful venue and really good food. The big miss was waiting and waiting for a new batch of mashed potatoes to come out. There were 8 of us waiting and sadly they never came. My food was cold by the time I decided to go back to my table. When I told our waiter Josh, he fetched some for our table of three. That was a big miss and that’s why I gave a less than five star on food. Luckily Josh and Kyle (who seated us) saved the day with their charm!

Service was great for being Thanksgiving dinner. Our spread was great the only suggestion I was make is to offer a shellfish no shellfish option for people that don’t eat shellfish or have allergies. This way we aren’t wasteful. But besides that our server was great the mimosas were great. Thank you

Our server she was very nice and she did great job but food wise I don’t recommend so much its very basic. Overall it’s okay just for couple drinks.
