Chipotle, chicken sandwich

This place is a hidden gem! 5 star food and 5 star presentation! Awesome service too! The ambiance is great!

Bacon blue burger with truffle fries

Warm and welcoming staff. Great ambiance, nice and clean building with cool art deco, also a nice big inviting bar to sit at if you'd like.

Passing through Cascade for the night, my wife and I were craving something local--but with standout flavor. Palooza did NOT disappoint. We rolled in on a Friday night after battling the Boise traffic, and were greeted and seated right away. That's when we met Jeff, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the menu. At his suggestion, we both ordered the grilled peach, prosciutto, burrata, and honey sandwich. I mean... who doesn't love the magic of sweet seasonal peaches, salty prosciutto, creamy burrata, and a honey drizzle to bring it all together? HOLY $#!+--it was next-level good. We were so glad we didn't split one! And the homemade potato chips? Crispy, perfectly salted, and absolutely addictive. Another treat you won't want to share--but probably should (if you're feeling generous). We finished with the warm salted chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. That perfect hit of salt elevated the rich, melty chocolate in all the right ways. It was the kind of dessert you don't want to share--but somehow still do. If you're anywhere near Cascade and want real food made by people who get how flavors should work together--GO HERE. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.

Rueben with truffle fries.  Not very many fries included.  Bummer because I love me some fries.

The food was good. The place is well spaced out and decorated nicely. The service was slow from wait staff to food getting out. The owner and cook put good effort into this place though and are willing to work at the establishment. Always a plus in my book. Overall 4 stars. Could be a star 5 if portions were a little larger for the cost or cost is just slightly less for the amount. Overall, I'd go back and try it again on occasion.

A superb espresso that was gone in no time!

You need to go here and have a Rueben! I've eaten Ruben's across the country and the food here is so far above anything else! The ambience, service, etc is top shelf. I also had an espresso that was perfection. The owner is such a nice, down to earth guy. We definitely enjoyed this lunch!

Crazy kids here. Good beer and food. Stopped by on the way to Donnelly and glad we did.

Very nice place to eat. Cascade doesn't have a lot of places to eat. We had a very good meal.

We headed over around 11:30 on a Sunday morning for an early lunch. Upon arrival, I imagined the building has been there forever by the looks of it. Patio dining was preferred since the weather was sunny and breezy with a fabulous view of the golf course and lake. Fortunately every table has an umbrella on the patio so you can control sun exposure. The service and the food just fine, but the main draw is the view and proximity to lake, golf course, and next door campground. The menu has a lot of choices. Many apps, sandwich options, soup, salads, a kids menu, etc. Breakfast served until 1pm. I enjoyed my lunch of tomato soup, green salad, and baked potato. My daughter liked but didn't love her spicy chicken sandwich, she said the chicken breast was too thick and was very messy with liquid dripping from it. Onion rings were awesome though! Other daughter liked her mac and cheese bites. Prices were standard and fair. Party of three for lunch was under $50 with tip. We unexpectedly had friends arrive halfway through our meal and the waiter was very accommodating and their order was brought out quickly. We easily were given separate checks. We really enjoyed spending time lakeside on their patio. Definitely will be back and recommend to friends. Thanks to our server Dylan!

They felt he was the best in the area. They serve small portions which is fine. My wife and I enjoyed the dinner and the desserts. You can tell that the chef is on top of his game. The restaurant has a nice, open feel to it. Relaxed atmosphere.

We came for our first stay in Valley County in 3+ yrs. I'll review hotel separately…read more Ate upon arrival at 7 on Friday. Place isn't large but tables were open, though it filled before we left. There was one server and 2 in the back, so our waitress was busy. She did well, on service, though not overly attentive, but she was spread thin and we didn't suffer at all from a lack of attention. Menu was just the right size for size of the place and staff with Burgers, Sandwiches, Steak, and Pastas. Wife and I shared 3 items, French Onion Soup, Wedge Salad, and the Bacon Bison Burger with homemade chips. The burger was outstanding for $14, cooked right and flavorful, and the chips were a pleasant surprise. The Wedge , $13, was ample and tasty, though the very top of wedge had to be discarded and was obviously wilted. I'll state here, I fully understand Valley County should be graded on a slight curve, and lettuce is a tough one, but I'm sure cook noticed when cutting. Rest of lettuce was good. Rest of salad was also. Lastly the French Onion Soup was not great. Basically the onions were not cooked long and slow enough to develop flavor, heck they were firm. We will be eating here again, as the food and service overall was good and the location is nice and awful convenient. Prices was inline with what you get and for Valley County. Service was good, but I'm sure it could be a bit better with an extra server on busy nights, so they can have more time. I was surprised to see no real info on hotel site regarding restaurant or a link on their website so I'm not sure how many people know this is available while visiting Cascade.

Eventually, a server with blue hair came over, but her attitude and professionalism were lacking from the start leaning on the table while taking our order felt very inappropriate. We ordered drinks, and when our food arrived, we asked where they were. The bartender seemed confused, and after waiting even longer, we discovered our server had never even put the drink order in. To make matters worse later on I went toward the restroom area and saw the same server vaping on the stairs by the bathrooms. She had no issue blowing vape smoke right in our direction, despite us having our child with us. I understand this is a bar environment but professionalism still matters especially in a family resort setting. Unfortunately, this was a terrible experience from beginning to end.
