This cafe is inside of the Gaylord property which is huge and gorgeous. Nice atmosphere with water (waterfall included) and lush greenery all around. It can get pretty loud because of how echoey it gets plus the waterfall is quite loud, and place can be crowded if they have a conference or convention going on which they do frequently. Anyway the food was pretty okay, menu is rather limited and everything is priced a bit high, which is not a surprise for a hotel restaurant. Bonvoy elite members get free side of house chips with white bbq sauce (which is delicious but too thin/runny to be a dip for chips).

5/11/2022 Bucket list Road trip, Nashville Tennessee. Location Located inside the beautiful Gaylord Hotel and part of the Grand Old Opry House experience. Ambience 5/5 +++ Stunningly Beautiful setting, the Cascades Restaurant is one on many eateries under roof within this Galactic Hotel! Located under the glass canopy with amazing views of the Hotels balconies, water features including waterfall and lazy river pools. Tables are accessible by crossing a small footbridge. Menu 5/5 A wide selection is available from starters to chef prepared entrees. Both of us selected the grilled Ribeyes our pick whenever possible. Our stater was blackened cauliflower and dinner salad. The steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare. The cauliflower had a perfect char. Service 5/5 We enjoyed a main waiter who kept the dining area organized and table service attentive. This experience was our highlight before attending the performance at the Grand Ole Opry. A must do bucket list hotel and dining experience!

This smallish restaurant is in the Opreyland hotel's "Cascades" section. It offers a limited menu of mostly American food. I had a turkey, bacon club and it was very good. The restaurant offers nice views, and somewhat slow service, although I will overlook that since it could be due yo the Thanksgiving holiday. Four stars, based mostly on how good the sandwich was. The restaurant really does not standout any other way

It's a beautiful place to visit. We did the breakfast buffet, it was very good. Great atmosphere, feels like you're in a rainforest, listening to cascades of water flowing. Definitely a place to visit if you are passing through.

Walked into the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and came across the restaurant. The food was prepared very well. The soup not too salty and had a nice flavor to it. I had the wedge salad with sliced of chicken. There was enough for 2. My husband had the wedge salad as well, along with a burger and fries. The burger was medium, just the way he likes them and the fries were seasoned well and very tasty. The service was impeccable as our waiter was well spoken and concerned for our needs. The ambiance was gorgeous. You felt you were in another country, with the waterfalls and flowers and plants as your scenery. Very relaxing and colorful. Overall, a great experience.

Cascades is by-far my favorite table-service dining establishment inside of the Gaylord Opryland. The staff was very friendly and the ambiance was nice in the middle of the lobby at dusk. While there wasn't anything specifically happening in the restaurant there was still a vibe of people coming and going which had a nice energy through the meal. None of us were extremely hungry so the portions were perfect after a full day in the convention center. The lettuce wrap was a great 'healthy' option after days of travel. The flavor was good and there was more than enough to not be hungry and get the veggies and protein together. The Ahi Tuna was cooked perfectly and was also very filling. For two people, this would be a perfect amount of food to not be stuffed but not be hungry.

The place here is absolutely stunning. There's multiple waterfalls and the sounds really set the mood. The menu has something for everyone and packs a ton of flavor. I had the charred cauliflower and ordered the vegetarian power bowl and both were amazing. Great spot for drinks or food!

Cascades at the Opryland Resort is a very relaxing place to eat. We arrived with a party of 8 and they were able to fit us in. The restaurant is in a large atrium with lots of foliage and a few waterfalls. There's lots of natural light, and because it's enclosed, the temperatures were very comfortable. Service here is excellent. Everyone is pleasant, welcoming, and accommodating. I ordered the turkey sandwich with came with a side of fries. One other of our group got the chicken Caesar salad. Yes, it's a little pricey, but not for a resort. All-in-all a very nice experience.
