Great food but for the amount would recommend better service. Waiter was good but on several occasions the next course arrived and we hadn’t finished the current course or the table was not cleared.

This was our first time at Cascade. We were sat by the windows and our server Zach was fabulous. He recommended bottle of wine that was delicious. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were a little unseasoned and chewy. It was a very nice dinner. The only downside is the prices were a little more expensive than other steakhouses.
