My wife and I met a friend (the pastor who married us, actually) here for dinner, while in town on a weekend getaway. It was close to his house, relatively brand new, and he was eager to check it out. He made a wise choice.
Seating options include the interior dining area, and two outdoor patios: one on the south side of the building, and another on the roof. Well-stocked with a sizeable selection of IPAs, ciders, pilsners, and other brewed and hopped on-tap options, as well as some select wines, a few craft cocktails, and a full bar for custom concoctions. The menu consists of mainly pub-faire favorites: a smash burger, a BLT/Club combo, fish and chips, pretzels, nachos and other shareable starters.
I went with the smash burger, and my wife the falafel bowl, while our friend ordered the BLT Club, and between the three of us, a variety of different pints, a Solstice Sour, an Old Fashioned, and a braided soft pretzel to split. Everybody's entrée was hearty, robust, filling, delicious, and cooked correctly. Our servers were all on the startlingly young end (some of them just this side of puberty, it seemed), but they were all competent, friendly, communicative, and above all, timely and efficient.
Cascade Lakes is the sort of casual, welcoming local establishment that may not win any awards for pushing the boundaries of haute cuisine, but what they do offer is solid, tasty, tavern-style stapes, stout stouts, plentiful pints, and most importantly, a convivial communal space to come together as a family, or as in our case, to reunite with old friends, catch up on old times, and share in new, good times. Cheers to that!
