We had such a nice experience here! We were enjoying out day at the Biltmore Hotel. We were getting a little hungry so we decided to order some food poolside. It was hard to track down a server, but when we did, the food came out quick and seamless. We split the black bean smash burger. It was very tasty, the roll was soft, and the creamy herb spread added a lot of flavor and a little spice. The avocado on the top and tomato was a nice touch. The fries were sooo good. I'm not a fry person, but i couldnt stop eating these. They were very potato-y and very seasoned. I loved the food there. read more

Had the burger and chicken sandwich. It was just ok. They need to use fresh ingredients instead of being lazy using frozen food. Why can't you cut a few potatoes and have fresh cut fries? Why do you have to use frozen food- don't you have a refrigerator that you can prepare food using fresh ingredients. When you are charging $30 a person- I don't expect sub-standard food. I am sorry but you need to revamp your menu and your head chef. What's more sad is seeing a family of 4-5 people paying $200 to eat that garbage. Maybe people in that area have too much money to threw away, but you can make the same or better at home! read more

A mom and daughter day at the spa at Biltmore Hotel, the spa services are great, the massage amazing. After we had lunch by the pool, the crab cakes were excellent and so where the steak quesadillas, didn't get 5 stars because the margarita were blah, i'm certain they could elevate their margaritas to match the beautiful ambiance and delicious food, after all, you're at The Biltmore, you expect the best. Service was fabulous though, kudos to all employees and their friendly/helpful attitudes! PS The Bake shop inside Biltmore Hotel, coffee and croissants are great BUT the other desserts i bought to go (cuatro leches & chocolate mousse) were both old and stale, you would think they would discard desserts not bought by their freshness expiration date!! Annoying. read more

If it's a beautiful Miami day and you're looking for some sun Cascade is a great option in the Gables! Last on Saturday I feeling this way, but didn't feel like driving to the beach or far so my friend and I went for a quick drink and bites. When we got there even though we didn't have reservations or anything we were sat right away! The restaurant staff was all very nice and polite. To eat we got some guac, shrimp, and chicken tacos. The food was all good! Was it the best ever, no, but it does the trick and the atmosphere helps! The drinks were also good. We did't get anything fancy, just sauvignon blanc and tequila with club soda, but they both tasted good and had great alcohol to mixer ratio. Cascade was a lovely time and I hope to be back soon now in the Miami "winter" months where our weather gets even prettier! read more

Taking a moment during a long day of meetings, we went poolside for lunch. The views at lunch are stunning, blue skies, and elegance. The Cascade Cafe is a typical poolside cafe offering a variety of options to satisfy mid-day hunger. I ordered the lobster tacos with fries. The lobster is lightly breaded and sprinkled with mango salsa and cabbage. Nothing outstanding, nothing bad - a just right place. read more

Nice café by the beautiful pool in the legendary Biltmore Hotel. We had a beautiful afternoon enjoying the weather, pool, and great service at Cascade. Nicole, our server on this day was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the wings and a few cocktails. The wine of the month is $10 a glass. Not a bad deal! We loved the outside seating and the beautiful hotel. It is a wonderful place for a lunch date or just a simple afternoon snack. read more

While the view of the pool is excellent, the food was mediocre at best. First off, our party of three waited for over an hour for our food. The restaurant wasn't at capacity, so, in the absence of any clear explanation for the wait, it would appear that our order was simply forgotten. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and my girlfriend ordered the huevos rancheros. I expected that my order of pancakes would be just that. Pancakes. Plural. What I received was a single, small, flavorless pancake. I caught a hint of lemon in one bite out maybe 12. My girlfriend's order had soggy, corn tortillas covered in what appeared to be ballpark nacho sauce. On top of that, there was a 20+ dollar service charge to the meal. Unclear what it was for, because what service we did have was pretty poor. Over priced and extremely underwhelming. read more

The location is unarguably lovely. Poolside dining, attentive service, ample shade. The menu is comprehensive and could cater to pretty much any need or whim. I ordered the beet salad and added grilled chicken, expecting a freshly cooked piece of chicken. No. The salad was adequate, the chicken was frozen and defrosted pre-cooked, bagged strips. Spongy, an unappetizing and weird sickly beige, and when pressed with the back of a fork, it released a salty, watery liquid. Completely unappetizing and for an additional $8, I expected more. My husband's club sandwich was enormous. Very generously filled, but the turkey was chopped/pressed/formed lunch meat vs turkey breast, and the lettuce was wilted and not fresh. We are staying at the hotel and so will have to find some other options over the next few days, so fingers crossed we can find some better offerings. read more

Stopped by after a trip to the spa. Menu was surprisingly underwhelming for an expensive hotel. Nothing vegan. Asked if a dish could be modified and was told everything is premade and changes can't be made. Ordered the salted edamame which came out swimming in so much sesame oil it was in inedible. When the check came they didn't mention they'd already added 20% but had circled additional gratuity highlighting that they thought I should pay them more than 20% - this is my pet hate. I tip everyone 20% but if you've chosen to already charge me you should say that and not try to trick me into giving you a 40% tip. Location by the pool is nice I guess but it's a strange long, tin space. read more

Atmosphere poolside is very relaxing (not including the children screaming in the pool lol). The food is just ok. We ordered the ceviche, tuna tartar, calamari, and Lobster rolls. ceviche had some spice but not enough lime juice. Calamari had no flavor or salt, Lobster roll was good but tasted like it was made with too much Mayo. Overall, just come to the Biltmore pool for the view lol read more

Hands down the worst service I've ever experienced. We waited 20 minutes to be greeted by a hostess, asked a waiter if we could check in, he said we had to speak to the hostess and then waited another 15 minutes. We should have left. But FINALLY got seated only to wait 15 minutes to be greeted by a waiter. Ordered drinks and food right away (didn't want to have to wait again to place our order). It took 45 minutes to arrive and drinks arrived another 10 minutes after that. Won't be back. This place does not fit the high quality service expected of The Biltmore Hotel. read more

Breathtaking views, clear waters, and a Mediterranean Cuisine that will definitely impress. This little hidden gem is tucked away on the Historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. The hotel literally looks like a Spanish castle. Huge pool with a cascading waterfall and that's where you will find the Cascade Poolside Grill restaurant. It so relaxing and mellow here and a must see if you're in the area or Miami period. I was served by an awesome server by the name of Neilson. He offered some great insight on the menu and selection of entrees. They have a pretty simple but interesting menu that I would describe as Mediterranean/American Traditional. I'm a big seafood lover so I had to satisfy that craving and set my eyes on the Lobster & Shrimp Tail. The presentation was spectacular and picture worthy as you'll see. As much as I wanted to take my time and savor the taste I couldn't because it was just that darn good. Anyhow the food was GREAT, the poolside views are something you have to see with your own eyes, service was spectacular (pool attendants were very friendly and even set me up on a pool chair with a small table and complimentary water without me even asking). Also if you have the time feel free to roam the grounds of the hotel, there is a golf course, nice elegant lobby where there was a lady playing the harp, and if im correct they do tours of the hotel on Sundays...and 3 other restaurants to pick from in the hotel. read more

If I could sum up my experience in three short words, I would choose quality, ambiance and attentiveness. For Being an unassuming poolside grill, Cascade grill surpassed my expectations. To begin, my mother and I were seated almost immediately, which was perfect, because we were starving. The menu consists of mostly sandwiches and salads and we chose to split the fish sandwich and burger. Without the request, the staff took it upon themselves to split the plates for us, which was very convenient and let us skip the messy nuisance of splitting the sandwiches ourselves. This was only one of many highlights of how the staff had been helpful and attentive with our order and it made all the difference. Quality was what won me over, as any grill can have a burger on their menu but making one comparable to those of a high quality restaurant is not always usual or expected, even in a hotel like the Biltmore. I definitely recommend both dishes ordered and pro tip: order the sweet potato fries! Finally, ambiance because what could be comparable to a breezy Miami winter day by the water! P.S, havd your sunglasses handy! read more

Lovely , fun and wonderful tables by that gorgeous pool. Enjoying lunch , we order 2 tequilas.. but not in shot glasses but rather plastic martinis glasses . Food was absolutely delicious and tasty . The waiter deserved kudos.. he found bread rolls for us to eat with lunch. They didn't have them on the menu with my gazpacho soup. We also ordered the veggie dip platter and the 2 crab cakes. But then time to pay.. $8 charge for using plastic poolside martinis glasses. It's so ridiculous that 2 ladies eating their lunch were over charged for drinks! We thought it was crazy the Biltmore would be doing stuff like that. read more

Every time we've come here the food has been awful but the ambiance is great. Today we brought a guest who was moving to France and they outdid themselves in the bad food department. The frito misto was greasy and hard, no shrimp. Left it. The ceviche actually had a bad smell, the salmon was cold and the wine served in the plastic glass was 3 ounces. I told the waiter that the ceviche fish was bad and he just gave a blank stare. They didn't even take it off the bill. It wasn't worth my time arguing, we just left and decided no matter how nice the ambiance is, it isn't worth getting sick! read more

When I come to Cascade at the Biltmore, I am going first and foremost for ambience. I grew up nearby so regularly meet friends here for a bite that is close to everyone and the surroundings never fail to please. Cascade is right by the Biltmore pool and it feels decadent to eat in this exact location at a hotel cafe for a random lunch as a local Miamian. Seeing people dive into the pool only contributes to the feeling that you're on vacation. The cocktails are solid (and pretty generous quantity-wise). The food menu has all the staples you would expect of a standard "New American" menu, but nothing to me is a must-eat. For that, I go to Biltmore's Fontana. The fish tacos are a good choice though. I had the tomato avocado salad for lunch today--and the menu explicitly says the avocado part is in the dressing--but it felt like a very threadbare salad with just the tomatoes (which were not-yet-ripe). I've come other times and had better dishes, so I'd skip that one, unless you're adding a protein (and doing so doesn't come cheap). read more

I am a big fan of Cascade and have been there several times in the past. Today I went to the Biltmore Spa for a massage and once my friend and I were done, we decided to have a leisurely lunch by the pool. The ambiance there is always great. Even on an overcast/rainy day, it was so picturesque and serene to dine by the pool. We ordered the jalapeño margaritas. They were made with fresh squeezed lime and agave. They of course had the perfect kick. We ate the churrasco steak accompanied by asparagus spears and thin french fries. The steak was juicy and savory. We shared the fish dip as an appetizer. It comes with a side of chopped tomatoes along with pita bread and crispy bread with olive oil. Both the entree and the appetizer were really good. We had a beautiful afternoon with quality, tasty food, a lovely view of a beautiful pool and good service. What more can you ask for? ;) read more

We had two meals here while staying at the Biltmore, breakfast at the table next to the pool and then we had our lunch the day before brought to us from here while sitting at the pool. Service was excellent both ways! The coffee lavazza was really great tasting and they gave me plenty of almond milk so I was a happy camper as I like to drink a lot of coffee! I had a special request that my heart healthy veggie omelet made to include the yolk great tasting and light! The fruit salad that came with it was abundant with berries my favorite! Again I was a happy camper! For lunch I had a shrimp cocktail the shrimp were chilled perfectly so it was really refreshing with a nice tasting cocktail sauce. My husband had a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast and a cascade burger he was happy with both items. read more

Delicious, fresh-made food to enjoy along with stunning views from all sides. What could be better? We had the tropical fruit platter, served with Greek yogurt and chopped macadamia nuts. I'm usually wary of fruit platters/salads since what often arrives is a bowl of unripe fruit. Not here! Every single bite of fruit was sweet, juicy perfection! And when we added a bit of the yogurt and the crunchy nuts, well, who knew a fruit platter could be moan-worthy! We also got the rainbow chips with guacamole (clearly made there, and not too long ago :D ) and salsa. Very good, but oh, that fruit platter.... They also make the best Arnold Palmer we've ever, ever had. Ever. Go, enjoy, but make a reservation so (if you want) you can get a table in the shade. read more

A little staycation at the Biltmore requires Cascade to assist you poolside with refreshments. A few cocktails later, I was just a swimming guppy looking for my server Juan. I got lucky with Juan because he's the most attentive of the bunch. He was even able to get my kid a pizza when pizza wasn't even on the menu. Fresh towels on point, of course. Every time I was thirsty all I had to do was look up and Juan was there. Juan brought me everything I wanted and was on point with the sauces. Swimming around the huge pool gets you in the mood for carbs and boy was it on point. Thy close at 5 so make sure you get your meal and drink on before they close shop. The sorry part was when I went to the bar and ordered (what I thought was) a simple drink and saw it come out to $26. A little bit extravagant to say the least for a tequila, grand marnier and lime juice at a bar which only filled my glass halfway. Whatever, it's the Biltmore and the pool is nice so just suck it up. read more

Really lovely place to have a leisurely (or quick if necessary) lunch. The menu is mostly salads and sandwiches and the restaurant is poolside.

We went to the Biltmore Hotel planning to have lunch at one of the many restaurants they have available after a tennis match. When we walked in, we were right by the pool and saw Cascade. Their lunch menu is light and simple so we decided to eat there. The hostess sat us right at the pool. (Our table was literally a foot from the edge of the pool.) It was VERY nice. The ambiance was great. The food was really good. I had the lobster salad sandwich which was excellent and my tennis buddy had the lamb gyro which she loved as well. Our server was very nice and attentive, making sure our drinks were refilled. My only complaint was that being by the pool you had to deal with some rude kids (7-8 yrs) who decided it was okay to squeeze by our table a few times playing -(no one was there to stop them) - and then the one boy decided to jump in the pool right in front of me and splashed me! But other than that, it was a pleasant lunch! I would definitely go back. no beating the view and the intricate infrastructure of the entire building. read more

I just reviewed Fontana and their horrible service. By contrast, the service we received here was excellent. I would have given it 4-5 stars if the food had been better. My daughter ordered the pork bao buns. They were so stiff and hard they actually broke off. She returned them and ordered a salad. The tomatoes in the salad were gray and rotten looking. My chicken salad looked very pretty but it was lacking in flavor. The Bloody Marys were good. My husband liked his turkey club sandwich. At least our server was attentive, charming and funny. read more

I wish I had the option to put negative stars...Management here has absolutely failed. They don't help the staff and disappear when it gets crowded and chaotic. Patricia in particular is incredibly unpleasant and brings nothing to the table. I saw one server hand an alcoholic beverage to a ten year old not realizing it had rum in it... utterly ridiculous. The management team don't treat their customers well and don't treat their staff well. Servers are clueless and don't know the menu or what is and isn't an alcoholic beverage. I have been coming here for years but will not go back. Have tried communicating to management about the lack of understanding about how to run or manage a bar but they disregard all problems. If your in coral gables DO NOT come to this bar, over priced and have never seen a bar with worse management in my life. read more

Went today, the view is great, the food was great, the service was terrible - worst I've experienced in miami- the guy who was our server was likely high or on something- he took forever to come take our order we had to flag some other guy down.

Then we waited for our tab forever- we both had places to go since it was a lunch meeting... waited and waited- had to flag down the other guy since our server was no where to be seen. Then he comes with our tab and we said what's up! I said are you sleeping on the job and he said he was on a couch relaxing rolling silverware in napkins and it was so relaxing to sit down.
