Not an ocean view, but a great energy of good music and great service. Good recommendations by Cody! We had the chicken dinner for 2 as well as the Oklahoma burger ( could be for 3 if you weren't too hungry.). Korean chicken nuggets for an appy were to die for. the cauliflower veg option would be a good choice too. Delicious lemon curd oat crumble semifredo !!!

We had an amazing experience here. My husband and I shared the half chicken for 2 and a salad to start. The chicken was unreal, that sauce!! And the lemon curd dessert was delicious. A great value for what you get too. Highly recommend this place!

Cassette is our go-to when we want a great meal and a drink. The staff are friendly and professional, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of fun and easygoing. You can never go wrong with a good Smashburger and, honestly, the best fries I’ve ever had. Their bar program is spot-on, with perfectly crafted cocktails that are just as thoughtfully made as the food. And what really keeps us coming back is their constant rotation of fresh, locally inspired dishes—always unexpected, always amazing.

Cassette is a shining example of a hospitality business done right: consistent, professional, and welcoming. We’re always happy to support them, and Mike and the crew truly do a fantastic job.

The food is consistently very good. I highly recommend the rockfish burger as you can tell how fresh and well cooked the fish is. Their burger and beer deal is great on Wednesdays. While the staff are friendly, they do seem understaffed. We waited 15 minutes just to get the attention of someone to be able to ask for a table.

Laid back atmosphere and amazing food! We had the Cassette Smash burger and the Nashville Crispy Chicken burger and they hit the spot. Service was great! Really appreciated the dog friendly patio. Would definitely eat here again.
