We rode bikes and had an early dinner. Absolutely loved the deviled eggs appetizer! That pickled okra was very good. We also got the burger, shrimp dish, and a salad. The atmosphere out back is great, and I loved the little crystal sales display inside. Our waitress was super sweet. The only thing I wish they would add is non-alcoholic beer. Athletica is a great option. More and more restaurants and bars carry non-alcoholic beers, so I was very surprised to see a new restaurant open and NOT have it. Hopefully next time we go you all will add it to the menu.

I have been here three times. We were really excited to try it out. The first time was enjoyable. The second time we had a bad experience, but I thought I would give it one more try. I have heard from several people that the owner is hyper critical of his employees to the point of making them cry. I know of one who had to get on anti depressants. Yesterday, I got to witness the owner talking down to one of the employees. Derek Balzano talks to them like they are beneath him and about them in front of customers which is very unprofessional. I did say something and because of that, he cut me off. Which is fine, that was his way of showing his little boy dominance. We will not spend another dime here. But more importantly, my heart breaks for the employees here. They shrink when he’s around, he makes them feel uncomfortable, they are scared of him. I’ve watched it with my own eyes and have heard some of their stories. A couple walked up at the bar as I was about to leave and we talked for a few minutes and apparently they know him and also didn’t have anything nice to say about him. I’ve never been to a restaurant and seen such unprofessionalism from an owner.

The atmosphere was very elegant, and inviting, the staff was very friendly and very attentive. And the food my steak was the best I've had in years hands down. We will be back

Unfortunately, I wasn't pleased with my experience at Cascades Grill. The restaurant is a little bit old but was fine, but one of the waiters were unprofessional. She took gum out of her mouth, then put it back in before touching the menu when we wanted to switch tables. The food is ok at best, the chicken was dry and the food was big but wasn't appetizing. Especially for a high price tag this isn't worth it. The location is good though.

It is my second time in the restaurant, food is always good. Our server Jazmin this time was amazing, always on top of the service and a great attitude. The industry needs more people like Jazmin. Definitely coming back again.

Best meal I’ve had in town and I don’t say that lightly. I never leave reviews and felt I had to after this meal. I got the airline chicken and my wife got the spaghetti, they were cooked and seasoned very well. I recommend it highly

OnStar had a difficult time fining the location, but we eventually arrived. What a pleasant surprise. Wait staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. The servings were larger than expected, and three of us were well satisfied with our selections. We sat outside at dusk (don’t be surprised by a mosquito or two in season), and had a wonderful meal. The prawns were larger than expected, and the seasons bounty of cheese and fresh fruit was great. Shares a nice white wine, which added to the per person cost.

I went for my first time and honestly everything was great! I will say the couscous was a bit dry but my food was delicious. Just got myself I had stuffed mushroom, New York steak, strings, couscous, chocolate cake, and key lime pie I paid $93 or $97 I believe. I felt the prices were a bit high but it is what it is. The owner was so kind and would come check on all the tables and I found that awesome. I will be coming back to this place. The only reason why I choose four stars was just because the prices.
