The Cazadero - Estacada

1 We walked in at almost 10 PM and guess what? They were HAPPY to serve us dinner. That is really nice to have a place that will serve a full meal at that hour. 2 The staff was very friendly 3 Our waitress was obviously new (let's face it....they all are....the soft opening for the new owners was barely over a month ago) and with being new comes not knowing the menu very well etc. That said, she tried very hard, was very friendly and put her best foot forward. A little time and she will be fantastic. 4 It took a few minutes to get our cocktails, but when we did, they were good quality and well prepared. 5 Our food order only took about 15 20 minutes to be served. I had the Steelhead and my husband had the prime rib....both were delicious and had fantastic flavor! When served, I will say the temperature of both meals was not quite as hot as we would have liked, but not cold either. I am including this because it is easy to put all sunshine and rainbows, but what the owners want is to hear the truth....in a positive fashion...so they can make this a fantastic place again. So what did we do after our dining experience tonight? We asked to speak with the owner. Told her all the positive things about our experience, and also nicely shared that the food was a little less than hot, and we thought she would want to know. ...and guess what? She did want to know and we ended up having a wonderful conversation. Overall, our experience was fantastic and we will definitely be back! For anyone reading reviews to decide whether or not to try The Caz, give it a chance....I think you will enjoy!

I have a couple of suggestions: it would be great to see local beers on the menu, such as Bent Shovel, OCB, and Coin Toss. Adding rotating signature cocktails and expanding the drink selection would be a nice touch as well. I was surprised not to see Jose Cuervo Gold on the list. Plus, with so many wineries nearby, local wines would surely be a hit! I’m sure these improvements will come in the future. You're doing an excellent job, and we will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

I'm thrilled to see The Caz thriving under its new ownership! I highly recommend Mitch for crafting a fantastic drink at the bar. You absolutely have to try the Cuban Sandwich—it's a must! I had a great experience and can't wait for many more gatherings there!

What a fantastic restaurant! The staff is amazing, especially the bartender and manager. I will definitely be returning! Thank you, ladies!

It’s been awhile. But I think the Caz is finally back. Great lunch, ice cold beer and good service.
