Star ratings don’t quite reflect our experience. Cascade is absolutely fantastic overall. We are all a little older with minor hearing loss, and it was hard to hear. Cascade is worlds better than other places in this regard, but it could still be improved (discreet ceiling-mounted baffles?). My wife had the hamburger which was fine, but rather underwhelming at this price point and given the general aesthetic level of the restaurant.

I wanted so much to love this but I didn’t. The food was ok. Our wedge salad was adequate, and my veal pasta dish was pretty bland. I would never call it delicious. The lobster bisque was average. I was hoping for an overall better experience.

This was our second time to dine at Cascade, and this time was even better than the first. We brought two friends with us, who were blown away by just how good Cascade was in every way. Highly recommended!

The best dining in South Bend. The food is what you would expect at any of the top restaurants in any major US metropolitan area. Great location especially with a table along the window at night to enjoy the light show on the St Joe river.
