Cascade Café — Restaurant in Washington

I visited this café this past weekend with my mom and son. I googled places to eat in the area prior to our day trip to the area. My son and I had the pepperoni pizza with French fries and orange juice and cranberry juice for a drink. As well as a slice of chocolate cake and lemon cake. My mom had a chicken Ceasar salad. The cleaning staff and staff at the Gelato and espresso counter were friendly and helpful. However, the food servers seemed pretty stand-off ish. My son & I pizza were cold, we ended up sitting way over but the waterfall/ window so walking back to have it reheated would have been a task.

I guess this is how they make up for the free entry fees. In the long run it's...

SO EXPENSIVE. Never coming here again. I got a very minimal amount of food for almost $20. It was not worth it. I waited at least 20 minutes in line for frozen pizza that burned my mouth. The reason it took so long was because the lady working was cutting off the crust of the Pizza! My friend told her that she'd like crust and the lady LAUGHED at her and gave her a scrap of the crust. Every line took forever and they had very minimal options. Fruit cup was $7 and wasn't even good. Tiny salad was $12! Tables were not cleaned and the only highlight was the pop because it...
