PASTORAL VISTAS

Revived, refreshed, and refurbished, the former Cascade Lodge—an acclaimed destination opened in 1939—recently gathered momentum as a restyled modern restaurant and events venue through the dazzling vision of new ownership. The original 1730s farmhouse setting has been renovated and expanded to highlight the bucolic charms of rolling hills, springs, and ponds.

CLASSIC MEETS MODERN

Befitting a country locale, the emphasis is on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, and the Contemporary American dishes crafted by Chef Jon McCain—who has worked in acclaimed New York and Chicago restaurants—present accessible flavors with an inventive edge. A classic 10-ounce grilled Ribeye Steak is an outstandingly juicy choice. The beef, from a PA Proud program farm in Lancaster, is seasoned simply with sea salt and pepper, then topped with a creamy quenelle of broccoli-stilton purée. Sides of creamed spinach and Lehigh Valley gold potatoes, confit cooked in duck fat from Jurgielewicz farms, round out a beautifully balanced plate. Artistically presented Salmon Tartare reminds guests that you eat first with your eyes. Scottish salmon, dressed in sesame oil and layered between avocados and cucumber wheels topped with salmon caviar, arrives accented with drops of piquant Japanese-style aioli. Housemade lavash crackers on the side bring the crunch. Craft cocktails and a curated wine list deliver premium pairing options. Learn more about the ambiance and amenities on page 106.
