Editorial Review for Cascadia – by Hannah Levin
The Scene
With its warmly glowing bar and tranquil waterfall window separating the kitchen and dining room, this Belltown beauty exudes opulence, but with a refreshing absence of upscale pretension. Service is gregarious, yet unobtrusive, making it a proposal-worthy date spot or an ideal choice for high-end celebrations.
The Food
The moniker refers to Chef Kerry Sear's focus on the lush area between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean: All ingredients are drawn exclusively from this region. Tasting or prix-fixe menus are the best route for harnessing the most of the kitchen's creative output. The seven-course vegetarian option features successes such as the silky tofu "scallops" and crisp wontons with eggplant "caviar," while the three-course prix-fixe menu wins with robust grilled venison sausage and the cooling, sweet finish of hand-churned ice cream.

Just plain bad food, and bad experience. We eat out alot, I mean alot, all over the country and abroad. Tried Cascadia a few years ago and hated it. We decided to give it a go again. If it has been around this long we must have just gone on a bad night. Wrong. Service from door to dessert (although desert was good, but pretty hard to mess that up) was bad, and food even worse. Although I wouldn't have thought the service so bad, if the food wasn't even worse. We will never go again, and compel others not waste their money. It's not super expensive....but still not worth it.
Pros: decor
Cons: everything else

We have recently been to Cascadia twice in the past few months. The waiter was hostile to us on first occasion and the food cold and tasteless with the exception of dessert, which was very good. We again tried Cascadia and found the same waiter to be downright cold and irritated to have to be waiting on us. Almost as if we were taking up his time. All our party commented on this after the dinner. The food was very mediocre, not to mention it was stone cold. We also felt rushed throughout our meal. Cascadia is definitely resting on its laurels. It has been an outstanding restaurant in the past, but perhaps now they cater to the cruise tourists, 20 somethings buying drinks and children? Who knows, but it is not worth the money for cold tasteless food or the 2 hours of being rudely mistreated by a hostile waiter.
Pros: Good location. Once was a good restaurant
Cons: Very rude staff. Cold food.
