la cascade - Antibes

Restaurant on friendly national square service and efficient ratio quality price to the best place for a pleasant moment

During a Sunday visit to antibes we decided to eat on the outside at lunchtime. our appetizer always took to come to us, and the main dish was a little slow too; the accompaniment was the wrong, so I had to wait another while getting my ratatouille! the place was busy, but other tables got you eating faster, and we didn't know why. that said the fried zucchini blossoms were very delicious; the lunch special of the salmon-stare quite good, the ratatouille was good. the muddles were dry at the top, but were good at the bottom of the pot. the wine was good, we ordered a corsian white wine and decent price.

I read some other reviews and we had none of the issues people had. We went twice as we were hungry and the service was fast and the food was plentiful. The kitchen clean which I always look into, to make a decision to where I eat. La Cascade got my seal of approval.

Ventured here with family this evening. Wish we hadn't.Extremely slow service. Don't go if hungry.2 starters eventually arrived along with 2 kids mains, roughly an hour after ordering. Calamari like dried rubber, frozen bought in and then deep fried in old oil? Melon and Parma starter was ok if very minimal on the Parma (only deux tranches, as they say), poor value for 13€ even in a tourist trap. This is when it went further down hill. Starter plates and kids mains plates eventually taken, 15-30 mins after finishing. Mains: pizza 4 season heavily burnt around edges, then went cold waiting for second main of Moules et frites to arrive. Eventually sent pizza back as was largely inedible, plus we were tired of waiting for second main aka "the no show". Various other tables complaining around us for all manor of different issues. Was mayhem for a time. Told waiters (waiters i.e. multiple, as telling our one got us no where via his avoidance) to cancel the mains in the end as we're unwilling to wait any longer. Asked to see manager or "director" to resolve, she literally could not have cared less in my view except she did agree to cancel the 2 mains from the bill as we hadn't had them, erm yes I should think so!!!! Still. Had to then ask twice for kids deserts though even despite the problems! And finally, pièce de résistance, as soon as kids deserts arrived I asked for the bill - which they delayed until I repeatedly asked, and even then they got it wrong as tried over charging us for 1) the returned/cancelled pizza, 2) some fries and 3) a second bottle of wine which we also had cancelled due the issues and the excessive wait! Unacceptable. AVOID!!!!

Came for a birthday meal. Paid 16 euros for a flash fry steak they claimed was a sirloin. Not good food at all and very overpriced. Service was also poor. Been here 1.5 hrs now and not been offered any more drinks or opportunity to ask for one! Avoid
