My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Cascade . Our DIL Kaew too. Our table of 3 was offered complimentary glasses of champagne which we gladly accepted. Our order was placed (Bruce was our server ) and soon we were dining on Filet , black cod and chicken as entries and mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts as sides . Everything was superb. We like to dine by the front window to view the green lit waters of the St Joe River. Crème Brule and an after dinner coffee finished the meal. Our overall experience was wonderful. Food, service and atmosphere is unmatched anywhere in northern Indiana .
