About the restaurant

A warm and inviting atmosphere awaits you at Cache Cache. A little bit of heart goes into each dish prepared and local ingredients are sourced when they're available. Eat lightly, enjoying some appetizers in the lounge or enjoy a full sit-down dinner with several mouth-watering entrees.

Start out your visit at Cache Cache with royal osetra caviar, Alaskan king crab or Hudson Valley Fois Gras Terrine. Entrees include a main dish with two sides and a sauce to complement your meal. Calf's liver, Colorado rack of lamb and Boulder natural rotisserie chicken are just a few of the options. Ask the sommelier to pair a wine with your meal. The desserts at Cache Cache are simply scrumptious and include house biscotti with espresso ice cream, assorted gelato and sorbetti flavors.

About the restaurant
The Mishawaka Amphitheatre boasts a full-service restaurant open Thursday-Monday. Dine on our scenic deck while observing the big horn sheep on the canyon hillside, or opt for our indoor seating, which features expansive bay windows for the same river and wildlife vistas. Our spotlighted Craft Micro Brewery, Odell Brewery from Fort Collins, CO, partners with us to feature the exclusive Mishawaka Ale. In addition to this, we offer a comprehensive bar selection, including a variety of craft beers, wines, and spirits.

PLEASE NOTE that reserving an outdoor spot guarantees a table outside but does not guarantee a table by the riverside. We offer a 10-minute grace period for reservations. Your party will be seated only when all members are present, due to our hour and a half limit on table occupancy. Should inclement weather arise, we cannot guarantee outdoor seating at the time of your reservation.

Our establishment is cashless. Kindly ensure you bring a debit or credit card.

It is difficult to beat the ambiance of eating on the deck at the Mish. The open air, the sound of the river and rafters passing by makes each visit memorable. The food was great too. Service was fast. Highly recommended place to take out of town visitors. Don't forget to make a reservation. It's always busy at the Mish.

We were a party of 4 and enjoyed our evening at the restaurant. Three of us had the ruby trout which was very good. My sister ordered the lamb with a mushroom risotto which was also very good. We had peach cobbler for dessert and it was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive. The restaurant was on the Gore River which made for a very pleasant and relaxing setting.
