Castaway Cafe - Lahaina

We absolutely loved our table, which offered the most breathtaking views of the sea on a pleasant, breezy day. Small birds of various species wandered around us, creating a charming atmosphere.

The location is fantastic with a beautiful view of the beach, but the food is average and quite pricey! While the food isn't terrible, I wouldn't recommend the chicken BLTs, which cost over $21.

I ordered my favorite drink, a Piña Colada, and of course the classic Loco Moco. It was delicious! My fiancée chose the Short Rib Loco Moco, which was also...

Hidden gem! The food is consistently excellent, just like the ambiance. We enjoy going out a bit to savor the best views while avoiding crowds. We arrived just before 3:00 p.m. for a late lunch and walked about five minutes along the boardwalk from Kahekili Beach Park (which offers free parking and amazing snorkeling, by the way). I love the orchid decorations on the dishes; they really add a special touch. I ordered the beer-battered Mahi fish, which was cooked to perfection. The batter was wonderfully crispy, and the fish was incredibly tender and juicy. Kudos to the chef! My husband tried the blue cheeseburger with bacon, but he found it a bit too salty after a few bites. It had great flavor, but a lower sodium preference might be better. The Lilikoi cheesecake is fantastic—simply perfect! It strikes a wonderful balance with the tartness of the passion fruit. I highly recommend it! The staff was also very friendly and attentive.

We had an outside seat for the perfect breakfast on the beach. I had the Banana Bread French Toast with Guava juice. The FT was moist and perfect. The juice was sweetened slightly. Hubby got the island Omelet with sausage, potatoes and sourdough toast and coffee. The Omelet was fluffy and well seasoned, potatoes were perfectly cooked with a crispy skin and soft insides.
