"With great food , good prices, and a fun ambiance, we're happy to flock to Birdcage in Grant Park for date nights and social outings. Floor to ceiling wallpaper shows colorful birds in mid-flight. Lighting fixtures are a mix of wooden bird cages and white chandeliers with plumes of bright pink feathers on top (which, considering the tacky track record of feather plumes, somehow manage to be tasteful). But their menu isn’t for the birds—their delicious, mostly Latin dishes are simple but bursting with flavor. If you love smoky, fire roasted foods, get their sofrito squash topped with queso fresco crumbles and pepitos. For mains, the picanha steak has a tasty char on each slice of perfectly medium rare beef. " - nina reeder, juli horsford
