Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Burbank

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.

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!

Went for our 15 year anniversary a couple of months ago and experience was fantastic. Had some live music with a man and his guitar, wasn’t as nice as the big live black male band on our anniversary( go on a Thursday eve for that) singing all the Marvin Gaye and Stevie wonder + hits, but was enjoyable. Went again for Thanksgiving with 7 family members & restaurant did not disappoint. Spread was beautifully curated with a few more extras to highlight the Thanksgiving holiday. I think I had about 5 lobster tails 2 being the thermador. Crab was great but a bit spikey and hard to hold. Love that they had lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fluffy Persian rice too. Surprised I was able to to enjoy some of their decadent desserts, as the bread pudding was delish along with the apple cinnamon roll. Everyone had such a good time that they were talking about returning next year with additional family members. So perhaps this will be a new tradition. Def recommend going here instead of shopping, cleaning, cooking and cleaning again.

It was easy to make reservations on OpenTable. They let you know on my iPhone to confirm my reservation and sent another reminder which was helpful. When we arrived at Black Angus there were a lot of people but no one had to wait too long to be seated. The service was great and food delicious. Will definitely use OpenTable again and Black Angus our favorite restaurant. Made our Thanksgiving holiday a memorable day. Thank you.

Great food, great drinks, great ambiance, easy location to get to but what really made it top notch was the service. Our drinks never went under half without being asked for a refill. Never had a dirty plate sit on our table for longer than 2 minutes but the person who stood out was Ross our server. He really made it enjoyable with helping with the drink choices and dessert choices. Can’t wait to come back
