Found a newspaper reference to The Castaway, it was scheduled for construction in late 1962.

These two new restaurants should do much to help
make the Square the type of dining area it is supposed
to be. After all, if a reputation for being a restaurant
area is to be enjoyed down there, then the more eating
places the better, providing that variety in foods and
settings is followed through. I can't help but feel that
there has been something missing on Jack London Square
in the past and now with the Mikado and Castaway part
of the scene the Square won't be so square.

Wow! It's 2011 and they're still saying the same thing!
