Nestled along the riverfront, the scenery sets an exquisite backdrop for an evening of fine dining.

We really wanted this place to live up to the hype. Unfortunately, it didn't. We had a 7:30 reservation on a Tuesday night. It was our 8 year anniversary. We were seated at 7:30. No one greeted us or even looked our direction until 7:55. We thought maybe we weren't assigned a server until eventually she came and took our drink order and disappeared again. Our appetizers somehow arrived an hour after we were seated. Now, I don't mind a slow, leisurely dinner, but this was awkward. We watched as the tables around us were delivered entrees and bottles of wine while we waited wondering if we should just leave.

Was the food worth the $250 price tag? Not even close. I have to admit, the sauce that came with the crab cake was remarkable, but that's all I have to say about the entire meal. The cod was bland, the crab stuffed avocado I could make myself, half the asparagus was charred, and we waited and waited and waited the entire evening for our server to get around to us.

We were practically begging for our bill by the time it arrived. Our server could tell we were annoyed and gave us a lame excuse about it being 2 ND home game weekends in a row, but it wasn't a game weekend. It was Tuesday. And for the price, that isn't going to fly with me.

If you want to be seen at the most expensive place in town, by all means Cascade will give you a place to be seen. If you want an amazing experience with amazing food that you will tell all your friends about, try someplace else. There is no reason for us to...

We had our first date night dinner here as newlyweds. It was definitely an excellent choice to begin with! The hostesses and staff were very pleasant and attentive. I was struck with the simple elegance of the restaurant layout. It evoked Grand mid century Hollywood opulence while simultaneously coaxing a more modern clean, light, sleekness leaving a fresh feeling of class without the kitch. The cascading river is expertly highlighted by the floor to ceiling windows maximizing both the natural light and the view in the best way possible. Our server, Alia, was attentive, genuine, very knowledgeable with recommendations and overall a vibrant bright spot in our day. We both had the lobster bisque. We were delighted with the tableside presentation. My husband had the black Cod which we loved. Flaky, light, multilevel flavor profile excentuated by the dark, crisp, 9broccollini and the broth.I had the short ribs which tasted of the best version of what a dream of home could be. The most delightful taste of pot roast with a whipped mashed potato bed, lovely rich half firm carrot slices and dark green pea pods with the same elegant crisp. We were both perfectly satiated upon completion of our meal. As we descended the steps I paused to look over the beautiful cast iron abundance that was alive with the wonderful back of house staff working together in a harmony of food, fire and controlled chaos to create those masterpieces for which I was abundantly grateful. Thank you all for the lovely experience. We...
