Very cute decors, nice and clean. The service was attentive. When it comes to food, entrees were delicious, but the octopus was too way salty. What I was impressed by are the drinks - they make one of the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. Will definitely come back for drinks!

My friend and I try a new restaurant once a month when we catch up — a tradition we’ve kept for about 12 years — so we’ve been to our fair share of restaurants and have a lot to compare it to. We drove about an hour to get here, and it was absolutely worth it. Our server, Paige, was wonderful. Even though we were her last table of the night, she never rushed us and made us feel genuinely welcome. She explained the specials so well that I decided to try something I normally wouldn’t: the steak with crab meat, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. The way they layered everything. It was amazing — honestly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. I’m still thinking about it a day later. The mac and cheese was also one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The double truffle fries were delicious, and my drink — a Midori with Medusa — was absolute perfection. The only thing that didn’t stand out for me was dessert, but that could easily be because I was already very full. Overall, great food, great service, and a place I’d happily make the drive for again.

What an incredible experience!! Was a solid date spot and just learned the brunch is equal to the dinner! Food and atmosphere was perfect blend of a lively community with personalized intimacy for each table! We enjoyed the pleasure of being served by Scott, he was on it with the recommendations and making sure our dining experience was excellent! Thank you Scott and The Cage Audubon !

My son took us to brunch here. Our first time and what an experience. Paige, our waitress was amazing. Even tho she was super busy (the place was hopping) she checked back several times to refill drinks and was very attentive. The food was delicious. Generous sizes, and plenty of leftovers. We left full, and ready for a nap. Will come back again for sure.

We probably came at the wrong time—it was New Year’s Day night. The atmosphere is nice, with natural floral-themed décor and decorative cages. The service was okay—not great, but decent. We were seated at a high bar table, which felt a bit too tall for us. The three of us ordered a few dishes. The food presentation was top-notch, but the taste didn’t quite match. We understand it’s fusion cuisine and that's why we came here, but the flavor combinations were not very satisfying. I had high expectations for the octopus, but it wasn’t what I expected—the miso flavor overpowered the octopus and was overly salty. The burgers were fine, again, not great. The huli huli chicken tasted like regular BBQ chicken, and we didn’t feel it was worth the high price. The standout dish was definitely the French fries.

I was very impressed with my first visit. The birdcage decorations and greenery are artsy and tastefully done. It's a fresh, trendy vibe for a restaurant yet relaxed and comfortable. We ordered the cheesesteak roll-ups and Korean tacos as appetizers for our table. Both were delicious but the Korean tacos were exceptional! I would come back and order those as my main entre! I'm so glad we tried those. I ordered the crab cakes entre as my main dish. Crab cakes were fresh and flavorful and the French fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Everyone in our party was very happy with their meals and cocktails ordered. The Midori with Medusa cocktail was particularly good!

My server Kim was amazing and knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended great appetizers to me and family due to our food restrictions. Drinks were great, Tiki Taka, Old Fashion, Leeche Muse. 10/10 would recommend again. Food was also amazing, Basil Pesto Burrata, Truffle Fries, Feta From Fira. Pizza was good too.

Was my first time! Love the interior design and decor. The Espresso martini was fabulous looking~ All different designs were fun. French toast was good, only 5 berries and one strawberry ~extremely sweet had to order additional side of bacon and side of home made potatoes. Lots of great choices. Will go back
