A New Face for An Old Restaurant Reviewed by Sarah Johnston and Wilfred Yang
The Cascade Restaurant reopened recently with a new look and ambiance. The old Cascade has given way to a relaxed atmosphere more in tune with the new millennium. The "new" restaurant is full of beautiful, vibrant colors and fabrics, infusing the place with a warm and cozy glow. The dark wood panels and the black-and-white uniforms of an old Cascade are a thing of the past, but the restaurant's tradition of providing high-quality food remains. With Chef Stephen Dupree's menu of Italian cuisine and Malay buffet, the new Cascade offers the best Western and local cuisine. You will be impressed by the excellent food and service. "Cascade still offers the best selection of both Western and local food," says the proprietor, Robert Vamosi. "You never have to wait more than 15 minutes for your meals. That makes Cascade the top choice for the lunchtime crowd. " The Cascade Restaurant is also attentive to customers in town.
