Fabulous experience all around. Beautiful ambiance, fantastic service, delicious food and beverages. Will definitely be back.

Always terrific!!

What a good dinner experience! The food, the ambiance, service -everything. The host was very warm and welcoming which actually kick-starts your dinner experience on a good note. Everything we tried on the menu was delicious and so flavorful. Their lamb is really out of this world. Wine list (bottle and by the glass) is big and spans a range of $$ which gives options. Desserts were great too and different than what we’ve tried (same type). It’s a bit on the expansive side. Overall, an amazing dinner experience and will def go back again.

This is our second time here and we definitely think it’s a special occasion sort of experience. With a seasonal menu you may not always receive what you see online or in reviews/photos but you’ll usually find something you want to order without too many upgrades but depending on your taste you may want to do a $5-$125 upgrade. The cocktails and wines we had were good but if you’re doing a really special event like an engagement or anniversary and prefer to bring a special bottle the corkage fee is $75 and well worth it if you have a really unique or important bottle. Service was mostly good but keep in mind this is a sit down experience that is not to be rushed. You can book the private dining room which we have done before and if you book outside even for night time the patio is quite enjoyable and still warm enough. They may want to consider changing their doorway mat more during rainy season to decrease the musky wet smell you get when you first walk in but the candles and other decor help. They did charge us for a wine bottle we didn’t have ($240) and we had to ask them to remove it so be careful but a true honest mistake, just wish they admitted it better and gave us a reason to not question it going forward like a credit to the restaurant or something. We specifically enjoyed the tuna or beets app, entrees of lobster, duck, or seabass, and beignets as dessert

Our experience at The Cascade Restaurant was totally outstanding, from the moment the reservation was made, to the Costanoa entrance, the warm greeting, the seating, cocktail suggestions, menu review and then the food, which was stunning fabulous, this restaurant deserves high praise. There was a bit of time between our appetizer and main course but the comfort of the surroundings made for extended conversation, magnifying the joy and beauty of spending time on the rural coast of California. Each entre was presented beautifully, the food temperature, seasoning and taste was beyond good. While enjoying the incrediably wonderful dining experience, our observations of the serving and bartending staff showed refreshing professionalism. What a great place for a great meal.
