I visited this place when I came to Chennai on a Vacation. It is better to do a reservation for weekend dining. For that matter all most all Chennai Restaurants are overflowing during the Weekends, if you are not a person who can wait patiently in the queue outside the Restaurant, avoid having food outside. Sometimes that is very frustrating that too when you are hungry. I had an experience of visting atleast 10 places once on Sunday with my Guy. Regarding Cascade, the Chinese Food is very good there. Apart from Chinese they also have Malaysian, Singaporean & Thai Cuisine too. But the prices are bit high compared the local Hotels. The place is ambient and peaceful. I got a seat near the Fountain and I really enjoyed the surroundings and the Food too. Only Upper Middle class people & above can afford. Waiter/Barrer helps people based on their looks and dress, that was bad.
