Benchmark Comparison:Cascal Rest., Mountain View

STRENGTHS:-Great location. -Patio/alfresco dining, with heat lamps.-Colorful interior with bold colors -High ceilings.-Glazing all around the main walls.-Music entertainment on weekends-Fits the young, vibrant and multi-cultural clientele of the area.-Open kitchen-Layout is simple-Large bar area.

WEAKNESSES

-The restaurant can get pretty loud during weekends, difficult to have conversation.-Service can be poor at times.-Pricey items considering the portion size and current economy.

-Restaurant provides Spanish, Cuban, Brazilian, Mexican cuisine, which can be confusing for some who are looking for more authentic Spanish tapas fare.-Restaurant appeals to a younger crowd not to those looking for an intimate dining experience.
