Castaway

On our lists of the best romantic restaurants, special-occasion restaurants and restaurants with a view in Los Angeles.

Perched on a hill above Burbank, this restaurant's patio and dining room look out toward downtown Los Angeles and the Valley beyond. The kitchen serves a steak-and-seafood menu -- crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, dry-aged cuts -- alongside a floor-to-ceiling wine cellar and a meat dry-aging room visible from the dining floor. Firepits line the wraparound patio at the cliff's edge, added in a 2018 renovation, where reservations tend to run as much for the sunset as for the meal itself.
