Start to finish, we were made to feel special. The recommendations were spot on, and when the waiter, Taylor, thought we were ordering a lot for two, he suggested a small pull back. And, he was right. The oysters were outstanding, while we split a Cascade salad (thank goodness as it is a very healthy portion), the Lobster frites and black cod were excellent. And, when I said something about my truffle fries being a bit cold (halfway through dinner), Taylor brought me a fresh serving piping hot! While the food at Cascade is amazing, it is truly the overall personal experience that sets it so far apart. They make even newbies feel like VIPS. THANK YOU for a perfect night.

Wonderful dinner to celebrate Valentine’s. Awesome table by the window with a great view of the St Joe River. Excellent service, food and drinks. Food could have been a little hotter but was very fresh and tasty.
