Totally classy restaurant. Impeccable setting and service is only outdone by the incredible food. It is pricey but deservedly so. Best restaurant in the region hands down.

I asked for several requests as it was our anniversary when making the reservation and they were very attentive to my wishes and had great follow through. There was an anniversary card on the table signed from the entire staff. Pretty cool!!! It was a great experience. Bonus was they said the deserts were on them for our anniversary, was not necessary, but appreciated. It was a perfect place to celebrate our 33rd anniversary!!!!!

This was our first but not last to Cascade. The menu was full of interesting and delicious combinations. The cocktails were original and well crafted. Our server knew the menu well and was attentive and paced our dinner perfectly. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in the area which needed a quality steak house (that wasn’t a chain). Looking forward to our next trip to Cascade.

We loved how pretty the restaurant was. The waiter and staff were wonderful. My daughter had steak with crusted blue cheese on it. it was very good. she also had crab legs, and loved them. I had the lobster frite My lobster was flavorless and chewy. the fries just ok, and the truffle sauce to put on fries were also flavorless. Asparagus was ok... for desert we had the crème Brule. it was excellent. overall not worth the cost.. for what we paid I expected wonderful tasting foods, so I was a bit disapointed. My daughter loved it. maybe its hit or miss.

Food and atmosphere were very good. Our service was very slow and our waitress was very inattentive. I think once she realized she was spending way more time with other tables she knew she wasn’t going to be able to save our table so she gave us a free dessert and coffee in hopes of smoothing things over. I understand being busy and even short staffed but we expected better service at this type of restaurant.
