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.

I made reservations to take my wife here for her birthday. We loved the looks of the outside, and…read morethe inside decor was great too. 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.

Being from out of town and here for a work event (and having to move my hotel room three different…read moretimes due to various gross issues I won't get into), I needed a good place to eat! The reviews and menu drew me in, although I hesitated when reading one of the bad reviews. I am so glad I came here! The manager was very accommodating since I didn't have a reservation, and Marianna provided exceptional service (and hand crafted and incredible Mezcal Negroni for me). But the best part was the food! I had the duck and it was outstanding. It was the perfect size, perfectly done, and delightfully presented. If you read a review that doesn't sound quite right, don't let that dissuade you from trying this place out. I don't think you will regret it!

Amuse bouchée- melon and goat cheese, were we in for a treat???!!! As reviews mentions the service is great, Isabella took great care of us, we were worried when she disappeared in the back with the "manager" never to be seen again, not there to close up our table, not there to offer us birthday wishes not there to finish dinner very odd. She asked how the food was, we told her is was overcooked. The manager was listening in - then she disappeared. The recommendation for wine was perfect and that's where the good ends. We ordered tuna on a wonton, which was tasteless lacking flavor, salt, zero umami! The oysters, East Coast were raw, so not hard to screw that one up. We doubled this order for 3 people. We ordered the duck breast - we were told that we could not have the skin crispy, and the duck medium rare as a chef would be unable to do that. So we decided crispy skin and medium cooked duck would be OK. What was served was two slices of duck-contributor yes, two slices. Did we pay for 1/3 of the duck breast? No, we were charged for the full duck breast - Shrink-a-nomics. We also ordered the 'pork ribeye', to temperature, or MR. What we were brought was a grilled-grey-pork loin no ribeye, no fat, no bone. This was served over what was supposed to be polenta. But it was lumpy and flavorless. The flavor profiles of both the duck and the pork were missing, the sauce the jois, everything was off. We had a special signed card to greet us for a birthday welcome- but no offer of dessert or a menu or anything- just a don't let the door hit you on the way out.

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 was torn between getting the Mottville Cheeseburger or the Breaded Tenderloin I asked our waitress if the tenderloin was a prefab patty. She just said that it comes pre-bredded. She didnt really anwser... so...I still am not sure. We shared a sampler platter, and hubs had the whitefish (lemon pepper flavor) with loaded baked potato, and unsweet tea, I had the Mottville cheeseburger and fries with a coke. Our waitress seemed rushed when taking our order. (We were there during the dinner hour so I completely understand being busy and the weekend and needing to turn tables) She didnt ask me how I wanted my burger cooked and she didnt ask what cheese I wanted, I didnt know what cheese even came with it as it did not state on the menu. Our sampler arrived, it contained onion rings, greenbeans, mushrooms and mozzarella sticks. It came with 2 dipping sauces. Both of our sauces were ranch. (Wish I would not have had to ask for marinaria by the time our waitress brought it our the cheese sticks were already cold and past their prime) When my food arrived she sat it on the table and left just as quickly as she came. Did not ask me if my burger was to my liking or anything. However, I did hear her ask the table behind us how everyone wanted their steak and their fish cooked. (Not sure why my hurger would have been any different) For my liking my burger was way more pink than I would have liked. I did not complain and I did not say anything as we also were not asked how our meal was. The resturant seems clean at the surface however it did feel a bit claustrophobic. Dark and low celings. There is a nice section of the resturant that looks outward toward the river and has a nice view. The mirrored wall on the other side is something left to be desired for my taste. For the price... the portion size seemed a bit off... perhaps one more filet for the fish and maybe a few more fries or a smaller portion of fries and a second side would be nicer. I'm not sure with what we recieved if $63.00 was worth it, and unfortunately our server was not as helpful as she could have been. The food was just mediocre at best and nothing to really write home about. Will I be back... Most likely as my husband likes this place. I just hope that next time it won't be during dinner service and I hope that our waitress could be a little more accommodating and anwser questions about the menu when asked.

I was the only one in our party who had not been to this place before and, in the end, the only person who wasn't crazy about the food here. As with most hibachi places, the entertainment factor was A+ and the service was good, but the food was mid. Beth, our waitress, was attentive. Our group of 9 all ordered a variety of hibachi. I chose chicken hibachi which came with miso soup, ginger salad, and grilled shrimp with a egg yolk sauce. The others in my party were obsessed with the egg yolk sauce way more than I was. There was just way too much food and honestly, it was all a bit bland. You get lots of food here, that's for sure, especially of rice. I would have liked more vegetables to diversify the meal. As for the starters, the miso was actually one of the best I have had but the ginger dressing was a weird color and the shrimp dish was not my fave. I ate the leftovers of my hibachi for lunch the next day and it heat up well but I noticed that not all the rice was cooked in the end. I ate it all anyway, of course. Apparently, this is the best hibachi place in the area so maybe I am just picky. Try it out - maybe you're fine with lots of food that isn't too flavorful that has way too much butter and oil.
