Reviews
We had walked in without a reservation and the receptionist said that while they were fully booked, we could sit on the patio and she’d let the server know we were out there. After about 30 minutes, we finally went in and let them know we were still waiting. Then William showed up and made up for the lack of initial service. The food itself was mediocre – my sister and I’s flounder was below average for such an upscale restaurant, borderline inedible, way overcooked and rubbery. The short rib was incredible according the men in the party. The beef tartar was ok, a whole lot of sauce and not a whole lot of actual meat – and we’ve had better at a less expensive establishment where expectation was not as high.
I hope that the management and owners pour a lot of more energy into ensuring quality of food. Just because it’s a tourist heavy town, doesn’t mean the food can’t be excellent. We go to St. A several times a year and would have enjoyed dining here if it was better food because we truly enjoyed William’s attentive hospitality and allowance of dogs on patio. Thank you William for making sure we were happy the whole time after we met you!
The crab cakes however, that’s where I’m removing a star. The price is listed at $32, it seems like an upscale restaurant; so I was expecting lump crab meat with little breading. As soon as it arrived and I saw that it’s 3 crab cakes and I barely saw any crab meat popping out from the breading, I knew it wasn’t going to be what I was expecting. The description does not say the number of crab cakes; maybe that would’ve given me a hint it wouldn’t be chunks of crab meat. So yeah, it was basically traces of crab meat with a whole lot of breading. The remoulade sauce was tasty, but I would not order these again.
The staff behind the bar, a gentleman and a woman named Katie, were great. They kept following up with the kitchen to make sure my food was coming out. They both asked me how my food was and I gave them my honest opinion about both dishes. They both understood what I was hoping for and so we chatted about making good crab cakes at home. They’re definitely the kind of people you want behind a bar, social, pleasant, and follow through.
My water glass had stains of lipstick and food on it from the people before me.
The steak and frites were decent, and cooked exactly how I ordered it, and the short ribs had great flavor, I recommend the brussels sprouts.
They did remove the items off the bill that were not great, and the service was absolutely phenomenal our wait staff was super friendly and attentive (great job there)
The best part of the meal honestly was the pumpkin espresso martini and it’s only seasonal, I would go back for a drink but def not the food.
I worked closely with Amy throughout the planning process, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She made the entire process effortless. Her professionalism, kindness, truly helped me bring the event to life.
The wait staff was beyond exceptional ~ attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Every guest felt taken care of from the moment they arrived.
And the food? Impeccable! Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious ~ our guests are still raving about it!
Our group had the most memorable day, and I could not have asked for a more perfect venue or team. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event, look no further than Castillo Craft Bar & Kitchen. They helped create a day our family will never forget.
Thank you again to Amy and the entire staff — you made this celebration truly magical.
Excellent service from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful the whole team was. Highly recommend!
I forgot to get picture we were hungry had beet and goat cheese salad and it’s amazing!
I chose the braised short ribs with a fried egg and potatoes. I’m not sure who gave these short ribs their award winning designation, but it was well deserved! Great flavor, egg was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were spot on as well.
From a food standpoint …, my short rib was decent , but have you ever had a meal that had plenty of gravy, but was still dry…. That was my short rib.
But that was not the issue . My wife who loves duck ordered the duck, medium rare…. When it came out, there was zero pink.
When it came out the second time one piece had a little pink. The second piece had no pink. This time they covered it in sauce, which continued to cook it and hide the fact that it wasn’t mid rare….
Read that again we paid $36 for a duck dish that had two slices of duck , one was pink, one was brown. not even half of the breast was on the plate… Pictured is the first plate that came out, see there are only two slices of duck, and both have no pink let alone mid rare….
I will give them this, though the accompaniments were pretty good, and the sauce on that dish was amazing… hence I didn’t put one star
For a place with decent stars, we were very disappointed
