Food was delicious and very generous portions. Server was very good. Ambiance a little too bright and busy, not cozy, table arrangement makes it feel more like a less expensive restaurant

We greatly enjoyed our first dining experience at Cascade. The food and service were outstanding. We also appreciate being able to park right in front of the restaurant. Looking forward to a summer dining experience outside, overlooking the river!

Probably my new favorite restaurant in South Bend. Great location, right on the river, walking distance to the Morris, and with a spacious (and unexpected) parking lot. Food was great. We had: - Complimentary bread was excellent, served with warm whipped butter. - Oysters were pretty much what you expect, with an excellent cocktail sauce. - Wedge salad was overall very good, and the bacon absolutely outstanding. - Buratta "salad" was essentially bruschetta, and was excellent. - Grilled lobster frites -- lobster was excellently cooked, and fries were perfectly salted and very crisp. -- A5 Myazaki wagyu ribeye cap -- this is the best deal on the menu. $40-60/oz at other places, and $19/oz here, the best deal you'll ever get; it was lightly salted and simply seared -- impossible to screw up, and the best steak I've ever had. -- Mashed potatoes were very high quality, very buttery. -- Chocolate layered cake was delicious, and all the desserts are prepared in-house by the pastry chef. Overall a fabulous dining experience, up to the standard of more expensive restaurants in much larger cities.

Food was delicious, however a little undercooked in my opinion. Service was not the greatest by any means, but I don’t believe it was necessarily the services fault. She has several tables and it was very busy. Still tipped her very well. We will try it again. It is pricey, but that goes along with fine dining, so didn’t mind the cost so much. Overall I would definitely recommend! Really enjoyed the added options of sauces and sides.
