The Beautiful Restaurant

For a restaurant to get shouted out on Goodie Mob’s 1995 classic song “Soul Food,” it must have been great. For that same place to still be relevant 25-plus years later, it must be timeless. Alas, Cascade’s all-day-dining cathedral is all of the above. Nary a person — not Cee-Lo Green, not your aunt Jean, nobody — will ever categorize the food here as “overly seasoned” (in fact, we’ve always thought the mac and cheese could use a smidge more butter), but they will say the beef ribs are consistent, the pancakes are divine, and the dining room is always immaculate.
