I would not trust these people with my food.Kitchen is dirty, and frankly it's run by halfwits.

The feather bowling is a lot of fun. Unfortunately the food is horrible. It must have been sitting a long time...fries were cold, my "grilled" cheese was more like a barely toasted cheese sandwich...not even warm. I would have sent it back but our waitress (bless her) was extremely busy and therefore we could never get her attention when we needed something. We asked for ketchup (we had a table of 8) and she brought us a bottle that was empty.

Per the Cadieux Cafe website it states: "Reservations for dinner are accepted for groups of six or more. " We were a party of four who arrived at 6:15 p.m. on a Saturday night. Having been there before, we walked in and there was an open table which could accommodate us. We sat down and the waitress came by and said she had meant to put a reservation sign on the table we were sitting at but didn't get to it. The place was quite empty at 6:15 p.m. We were told that the place was booked at 7 p.m. with numerous reservations. We said I'm sure we'll be out by 7 p.m. as we just want to eat. We were told NO we could sit there and there was no place for us that night. She said if we wanted a reservation we should have went to Resy. Well, due to their website information I thought a party of 4 couldn't get a reservation. Very irritating and irresponsible. Someone needs to clarify the website reservation policy or clarify what is accepted for walk ins that arrive 45 minutes before the busy time. Really doesn't a hamburger take less than 15 minutes to cook. Doubt I'll return. The bummer is I had out-of-town guests that night that had never been there. Cadieux Cafe didn't give a hoot for any inconvenience on our part.

What a fantastic evening!!! Better than expected... and I had great expectations! I've been waiting to go here for over 20 years to try feather bowling. Only place in the US that has it... and it was super fun! Prices were great on both bowling and drinks. It was bar service, but pretty easy to get a drink and the bar 'helper' was amazing! They had a pretty decent band going on... it was a Friday night. But out at the bowling area, it wasn't over whelming... we could talk and enjoy the band at the same time. Enjoy! Seriously, an absolutely amazing time!

Grew up going there with my grandparents/parents . Still has the come home feel to it !
Can't say I'm a fan. Wall to wall hard surfaces and crowded quarters make this venue a sensory nightmare. If I hadn't brought hearing protection I would have needed to leave on the spot, and in hindsight I wish I'd done just that. The food was both disappointingly school-cafeteria-esque and astonishingly small portion sizes for the cost. I had the stew, which was less than a cup's worth spread out on a wide plate to appear larger, and served with a fork and knife but no spoon. The peas in it were undercooked and it was already lukewarm when it hit the table. The sandwiches others ordered looked similarly mediocre, but at least more substantial. For $17 a serving, this was nothing short of embarrassing. The mussels must be okay if people keep coming back for them, but if you aren't here for that, don't bother.The waitstaff seemed to be doing their best in the chaos, but our server was impatient taking our order and didn't give my partner or I a chance to order a drink. We weren't given cups for water either. Despite being there for a party with a reservation, our table was approached multiple times by staff and guests asking us to relinquish chairs. A server came to tell us we needed to clear out when our feather bowling reservation started, even though we hadn't gotten the bill yet and several of our group were still eating.I can see it making sense to come here for the novelty of feather bowling, or to catch a live music act. But save yourself the headache and eat elsewhere first.Parking: Small gravel parking lot next to venue, only accessible from main road, full when we arrived. Street parking on residential side streets nearby.Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible in the slightest- steps and ledges in the main dining area, narrow spaces between tables, barely room to breathe. The feather bowling lanes next door are slightly more open, but would be difficult to get back to in the first place.

We did not eat there but experienced the feather bowling and had a great time. A must experience if you are in the area. We heard the mussels are to die for.
