His wine recommendation was perfect and it paired well with my delicious steak. I was not a fan of the cream on the Brussel sprouts but everything else I had was ok. The wedge salad, steak and crème brûlée were my favs! There's a lot of construction around the venue but we called and they gave us some great directions to get there. We went in the evening but you can tell during the day the scenery and views are beautiful. My friend had the short rib and she enjoyed her meal as well. The steak alone, in my opinion, was worth the visit! I will definitely visit this place again when I'm in South Bend.

I came to Cascade for my birthday dinner, and from the first plate to the last bite of cake, this…read morekitchen made the case that it belongs in the Michelin Guide. The dining room sits at the base of a residential building right on the river. The floor to ceiling views of the water doing half the decorating, and the other half is a menu with real ambition: market oysters and chilled shellfish towers, USDA Prime steaks, a 40-day dry aged strip, and A5 Miyazaki wagyu. This is the Navarre Group operating at its highest level, and it shows. I started with market oysters on ice with champagne mignonette and cocktail sauce. I got a taste of the ocean in every slurp. Yes, eating oysters is noisy. Then the crab cake, and I do not say this lightly: it is one of the best crab cakes I have ever had, anywhere. Jumbo blue crab, barely held together, seared golden, sitting in a kimchi aioli with a bright pop of Peruvian sweet peppers on top. All crab, no filler games. Order it. Thank me later. The black cod was the star of the night. Miso glazed, sesame crusted, served over broccolini in a lemongrass dashi, and it was the most tender cod in the Midwest. Silky, rich, perfectly balanced between sweet and savory, the kind of plate where the table goes quiet for a second. If you order one entree here, make it this one. The grilled lobster tail came out a touch small for the price, but the flavor was all there, and whoever thought to serve the drawn butter over a tea light candle deserves a raise. The butter stays warm from the first dip to the last. Small detail, but elite execution. The grilled asparagus with verjus blanc and shaved Parmigiano Reggiano was simple and exactly appropriate alongside everything else. Dessert was a towering slice of layered chocolate cake with a birthday candle in it, rich without being heavy, and the right ending to the meal. I was given a card signed by the entire staff. Shoutout to the following personnel: Emily V, Jordan and the hostess. Each of them made this visit feel truly magical. Now the honest notes, because a real review has them. The lobster bisque missed very badly. It had the consistency of a potato soup and only the smallest trace of lobster. So, it is the one dish I would not order again. It is also the clearest opportunity for improvement on an otherwise stacked menu. Also, plan your arrival: parking is tight, and on busy nights you will want the valet. Book ahead, too. Prime time reservations here do not sit open. Bottom line: Cascade is the most elite dining experience in South Bend right now. Birthdays, anniversaries, client dinners, or just a night you want to feel like a celebrity, this is the room. I will be back.

I added crawfish to my combo but I think I'll skip that and add more dungeness crab legs or something else next time- I'm spoiled but super fresh crawfish from New Orleans. Our server was very nice.

Pretty much the best seafood in town. Bummer they took the crab truffle fries & lobster gnocchi off the menu though. Last time we went (a holiday), my SIL's fish was obviously undercooked & we waited 20 minutes past our reservation time. And a lot of the entrees are $20+ so the bill can add up pretty quickly. SERVICE Some of the best in town usually. Plenty of attention & quick to solve any issues or complaints. Never feel ignored. AMBIANCE Great vibe, simple/minimalistic decor, good bathrooms. I do highly suggest not going on a holiday though, they are extremely popular & tend to be fully reserved ahead of time. When you pay so much money, you really want to have a good experience, & it's just not the best time to go. Lovely place, but when it gets too busy & loud, it loses a lot of its appeal.

I've had Cafe Navarre, an upscale restaurant in South Bend, for a while now so I jumped at the…read moreopportunity to finally come here for a carry-out lunch during the city's summer Restaurant Week 2026! I was short on time and money and felt a wee bit embarrassed to pick up my fancy 2-course lunch in a ratty t-shirt and jeans, but I was brave and strong and got through it the shame. I would like to dine-in here one day, looking nice and spiffy, to fully enjoy the vibes and have a nice date night with my honey. Finding a parking spot was tricky and annoying, even on a weekday, so be advised of that. So I can't speak too much on service with this visit nor how the drinks were (alcohol menu looks pretty nice), but I can talk about the food! So with the $19 restaurant week promotion, I could choose from a list of 5 starters and a list of 5 mains. I got the signature Navarre salad without the gorgonzola cheese and the white basalmic dressing on the side as my starter and the Waldorf chicken salad croissant with potato chips as my main. Chicken salad is a favorite of mine but I HATE when it is goopy and mushy. Gotta have that texture! So the to-go bag was quite light when I picked it up so my fat butt was worried I had paid twenty bucks for two bites of food. Nope! There was a decent amount of food inside. Let's start with the Navarre salad. Normally, this retails for $8. The produce was fresh and the candied walnuts were incredible. I do wish there were more green apples on it though. 8/10. Next, I gotta give a 10/10 to the fabulous potato chips. These were something special. Oh jeez, give me a whole bag of these tasty crispy slices of potatoes! Lastly, I gotta give only 7/10 to the chicken salad croissant. This originally sells for $17. Not a bad score at all, but yeah, this chicken salad was a bit too goopy for me. It tasted flavorful though and the locally-made croissant was great! Overall, I give Cafe Navarre 4.5 stars. I'm going to convince my boyfriend to take me here one day for a nice dinner date so we can try so fancier items on the menu! (But not too fancy - I don't want us blowing a paycheck on some $65 steak! I am a practical bougie lady!)

It's not your traditional steakhouse (if you're from California) but the flavors were on point. The atmosphere had a tavern vibe with plenty of tables to accommodate large groups. We started with tortilla soup and Caesar salad which were fantastic. The wine list is very good offering many California wines at a reasonable price per glass. The food was good - however my medium rare filet came out rare and the ribs were slightly dry. However, the sauce for ribs was a 10/10. I have to shout out the Brussels which were the best I've ever had. Service was pleasant and chocolate cake to finish the meal was a decadent ending to a satisfying experience.

We were seated immediately and our server was very attentive. My wife got a grand sangria, which she absolutely loved, and I got a coke zero. They were very quick with my refills which I find important. We got the queso with brisket for an appetizer and it was very good. For the entrees, my wife got filet mignon and grilled shrimp with garlic mashed potatoes and a salad. I got the blacked redfish, which also had grilled shrimp, lump crab meat and a sauce. I also ordered the brussel sprouts and loaded baked potato soup. Our server came with our salad and soup, and told me they were out of the potato soup and brought me chicken tortilla soup instead. It was alright, but I was looking forward to the potato soup. Our entrees came out and they looked very good. My wife really enjoyed hers. Mine tasted good also, but the fish was undercooked and inedible in places. I ate what I could, but it was disappointing. If the fish had been properly cooked, it would've been a 4 star review. We will come back, I'm all for 2nd chances, but my experience fell short of the mark.
