My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Cascade . Our DIL Kaew too. Our table of 3 was offered complimentary glasses of champagne which we gladly accepted. Our order was placed (Bruce was our server ) and soon we were dining on Filet , black cod and chicken as entries and mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts as sides . Everything was superb. We like to dine by the front window to view the green lit waters of the St Joe River. Crème Brule and an after dinner coffee finished the meal. Our overall experience was wonderful. Food, service and atmosphere is unmatched anywhere in northern Indiana .

Was there for the football playoff game and the staff was amazing! Paced everything out perfectly, atmosphere was tremendous and the food was absolutely spot on. From Burrata, to adult mac and cheese, pulled pork sandwiches and more, would highly recommend eating here on your next trip to campus!

This was our first time there- we were celebrating my moms 84th birthday- the restaurant was beautiful- the food was amazing and so hot you had to blow it (which is a good complaint) our server was outstanding! The only negative was that it’s so loud - we could here the other diners conversations- overall it was a great experience and we will be going back…

I had the perch dinner, and I told our fantastic server, Dean, that growing up I had gone perch fishing countless times with my family. The perch I had tonight was by far the that I have ever had. My bride of 41 years had the chicken pot pie and said it was also extremely delicious! I can’t recommend Rocky River Tap and Table enough!
