Cascade Grill House uses the finest vegetables and cuts of meat, and pays attention to the details, such as Starbucks coffee in the morning or after dinner.

The setting at the 105-seat restaurant features a comfortable yet upscale atmosphere with views of the Gros Ventre Mountain Range across the valley. Distressed wood furniture, a gas fireplace and friendly service make the restaurant or bar an excellent choice for a relaxed dinner, a quick breakfast burrito, or apres-ski drinks with friends.

In the full-service bar, a popular aprs-ski scene, overstuffed chairs and couches provide a place to lounge while massive posts and beams salvaged from a nearby 140-year-old sawmill set the scene. Hanging on the walls, a unique photography collection tells the story of skiing in the Teton Range.
