Best Restaurants for Foodies in Cascade

We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Optimist. Our server was Damien and he gave excellent service all night. All the food tasted amazing and it was perfectly coursed throughout the night. Additionally, Damien had a strong table presence that really made our night. We will definitely be back.

A lovely place with excellent food, perfect for any special occasion or pasta craving.

10/10 would recommend; it was a very elegant experience. I came to celebrate my birthday with my girl and the servers were extremely friendly, helpful, and respectful and never left us hanging or even with a slightly empty cup. We will most definitely be coming back!

As a restaurant manager myself, I tend to scrutinize dining experiences with the precision of a food critic and the paranoia of a health inspector. That said… this place knocked it out of the park! The food? Unreal. The service? Impeccable. The atmosphere? A perfect blend of lively and cozy. Let’s talk about the seafood paella—so good it could make a grown man cry. The crispy calamari? Hands down, the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). The meat and cheese board was a masterpiece, setting the stage for the grand finale: the Brisket Montaditos—little bites of pure flavor explosion. Every dish had me questioning why I don’t eat here daily. Our server, Ashley, was a rockstar—attentive, friendly, and somehow always there before we even realized we needed something. She kept our table pristine like she was setting up for a Michelin-star review. And let’s not forget Oliver, the manager, who clearly runs a tight ship. He and his team are absolutely killing it. Perfect spot for date night, impressing friends, or just treating yourself to a culinary adventure. I’ll definitely be back—and probably ordering everything on the menu again.

My boyfriend who is a chef and I, foodie, this was the best eating experience we have ever had in our lives. we were celebrating his birthday which happened to be valentine's day and a day in which C&S offered an AMAZING 'tour' of their food. our minds were completely blown so much so that we woke up thinking about our experience this morning. We cannot praise this restaurant enough. we have never in our lives seen such brilliant service. We will return again and get it again. As a matter of fact , we're going to nosh on our leftovers now! Special, SPECIAL acknowledgement to brilliant, expert server extraordinaire, Nayyah. (Please forgive any misspelling) . ♡
