Best Tacos in Bucks County | Eater Philly

"The Cage in Warrington is known for its eye-catching and delicious cocktails; however, the stellar food selection will draw you in as well. When you want a menu item that will complement your espresso martini or old fashioned, the Korean tacos are a sure bet — filet mignon, kimchi, red cabbage slaw, Japanese mayo, toasted sesame seeds, and peanut butter sauce combine to create a memorable small plate offering you won’t soon forget." - Kristen Kwiatkowski

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.

My husband and I had a fantastic dining experience at The Cage celebratingour anniversary. We started with the seared octopus appetizer, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For our entrées, I ordered the Branzino while my husband enjoyed the Huli Huli chicken—both were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The cocktails were just as impressive. We tried the Pandora’s Box with two cocktails; a rum old fashioned and a house made bourbon old fashioned. We also tried a watermelon whiskey drink. Each one was creative, balanced, and memorable. A special shoutout to our server, Kim, who made the evening even better. She was attentive, friendly, and gave us excellent recommendations that elevated our meal. Overall, The Cage delivered on food, drinks, and service—we’ll definitely be back!

My friend and I were visiting the area from out of town and we found this little gem. First, our server, Kimberlee, was awesome and on her game. She was friendly, courteous, pleasant, and was a true pro. The cocktail that I had was delicious. I ordered the 7 Seas pizza and it was perfect. My friend had the Southwest Chicken Salad and he was raving about it. Price points were exactly what you would expect. The restaurant is clean and well-lit with an inviting and modern decor. We hope to be back the next time we are in town for the non-sports card show.

If you are looking for an amazing vibe/theme, great cocktails, really good service (our server Jean was one of the best we've ever had, any where), and just ok food this is your place. We thought about making a reservation, but there were so many openings we thought we'd take a chance. And even though our party of four got there and there were plenty of tables, we were told by the host they would have to see what they could do, side note looks like they were having a baby shower in their private area of about 30 people, which seems poor planning on their part, as they didn't want to flood the kitchen, but again plenty of reservations and tables. We sat at the bar to have a cocktail while we waited, have to say they were all good, but our guest who had a mocktail, raved about how delicious it was, and even tried a bloody mary mocktail after, and started she would be back for that. After waiting about twenty minutes we were seated. Jean our server was on point, knew the menu in and out, gave great recommendations and was simply on point. We can't rave enough about him. Unfortunately, can't say the same about the food. We started with the mac and cheese, as well as the calamari. Neither was bad, but neither was anything really good. Calamari lacked salt, and mac and cheese was creamy, but bland. Two of us ordered the chicken and waffles with Chipotle syrup, there was no Chipotle flavor in it. Had to ask for hot sauce. The steak and eggs again were just ok. We all agreed the best thing we ate was the burger I ordered. Cooked perfectly, seasoned and served with truffle fries (fries were a 10). We would come back, and try different dishes, but a great place to grab cocktails.

My daughter and I dined here for lunch on a Saturday. We were excited to try it, however the food was just ok. I had the shrimp risotto. The server warned me that it was cheesy, but I didn't know that the cheese would be be aged sharp cheddar. It does have parmesean in it as well, but the cheddar was overpowering. The shrimp was cooked well, but it was lightly breaded with seasoning. Because the risotto was drowned in sharp cheddar, it make the dish even more salty. This dish would have been stellar if it had parmesean and smoked gouda. The dessert was also a miss. We may give it a second shot, but it was not a good first impression.

From the very first sip to the last bite, everything at The Cage was absolutely phenomenal. The food was bursting with flavor, beautifully prepared, and truly memorable. What really made the experience stand out was our server, Gene. He not only gave us amazing recommendations (every one of them was spot on!) but also kept us laughing the entire evening. The perfect combination of outstanding food and genuinely warm, fun service made our night unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot—you won’t be disappointed!

Had the jumbo shrimp risotto and the Moroccan lamb pasta and the Korean bbq wing as a starter. Everything was fabulous. We will definitely be back again. The restaurant was also gorgeous, especially with all the Christmas decorations

This is the BEST bar in all of Norristown hands down! Well balanced drinks, consistent service, and amazing ambiance unlike any other nearby! They have one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had, and it’s my partner’s go to! Nick Christopher (bartender) and Victoria (waitress) always make my family and I feel right at home. Great Sunday brunch with chic outdoor seating, and their happy hour is a touchdown!

Went back for the pizza and also got the Mahi special and some kind of hummus. First of all the pizza, DAMN. And I mean DAMN. Ridiculously good. The crust and the sauce are absolutely perfect. The hummus was green and I was suspicious but my daughter forced me to try it and apparently I love edamame, who knew? I don't think edamame in the wild hits quite like that. The chef was walking by and saw we had it and stopped to ask how it was and if we had any feedback (more bread to get every little bit of the hummus) The Mahi special was fabulous and I was pretty shocked by how complex it was, with a fruity salsa and a savory purée, it was pleasantly far beyond my expectations. That sums up this place, far beyond my expectations in a great way.

First time at The Cage! Food-wise I loved the buffalo shrimp. They were perfectly cooked and had a nice amount of spice and big chunks of blue cheese. The chicken yakitori was beautiful cooked as well and very flavorful. The slaw underneath was a little too heavy on the dressing but had nice flavor. We did order a couple of other food items, but I didn't try them, so I can't rightfully opine on them. As far as the service, and as a career server myself who is patient and kind to those in my position, we did have to flag other service staff down for plates, utensils, and another drink. I ordered a pineapple-tequila signature cocktail and requested a salt rim, to which our waitress Mia said "no." The drink itself had nice flavor, though it was a little on the warm side. I don't think I would ever flat out say "no" to a guest ordering a salt rim on a tequila drink, but maybe that's a rule.

Great spot with good food and service. We sat on the patio which was nice and spacey with a great ambiance. Service was great, no complaints. To drink we got the Around the World and Upper 90. Really great flavors on both. For food we got the chicken yakatori which was fantastic and a big portion for a small plate. For entrees I did the Asian salad with tuna instead of salmon. Ingredients were fresh and the tuna cooked great. My husband got the crab cake sandwich which was also very flavorful and a big portion. We got carrot cake to go for dessert and it was very solid. Would recommend and definitely want to come back.

My friends and I came here for a friend's birthday brunch. We were running late and called and they were very accommodating and didn't cancel our reservation. The restaurant is adorable and way bigger than the other one in Warrington. It's decorated so well and is the perfect spot for all of your Instagram picture needs. We ordered the espresso martinis which were a big strong in my opinion but I don't drink coffee often. They have a fig drink which I'm in love with - I believe it's called champions league and it's amazing! For food, I ordered an eggs Benedict and I was disappointed - the best part is slicing the egg open and have it ooze out but nothing! The food was also salty as well. Not sure if they're still working out kinks but hopefully it'll be better next time. I also felt the server was trying very hard to upsell dessert even though we told him we're going to a dessert wars festival afterwards and didn't want to be full. I think I might stick to the Warrington location instead.

Second time at here, this time with two friends. Four of us ordered four different types of entrees: I had a beef pasta dish, my husband had a flat bread (the spicy jawn), one friend had Korean BBQ chicken, the other friend had a Korean bbq burger. All of us find the food leaning on the saltier side--they really could have used a bit less seasoning/salt. If the food were less salty, it would have been 5 stars.

The Cage is a cute concept restaurant in Audubon, close to King of Prussia area. Once inside, you are transportated into decor that resembles a bird cage of sorts. They have good cocktails and something on the menu for everyone. The food was subpar to me. They seem to try to put a twist on everything, causing normal thing such as sauces, etc, to have an off-putting taste. Service was super slow though friendly. I love the decor but probably wouldn't come back here except to have a drink at the bar if in the area.

The Cage in Audubon has been a nice addition to the neighborhood. Like its sister location, this is a solid spot for fancy drinks and quality food to match. The Habanero wings were just how I enjoy my wings. With a nice crispy finish, then tossed in sauce. I went for the whisky Burger and it did not disappoint. The only reason I took off a star because it felt as if service was all over the place. I ordered wings as an appetizer and they were never put in. I was a little bummed because I really wanted to give those a try. Maybe next time.

This is a great restaurant. I first went there for Easter. Our party tried the Beignet, Lobster Benedict, Lobster Quiche, and Croque Madame Brunches. All of them were very delicious. The Sangria was tasty but not very sweet. The service was impeccable. The staff and management really took an interest in making sure we were enjoying our experience. The ambiance is lively. Everyone who was dining was having a good time. My sense is that people come here to hang out and hang loose with friends and family. I went there a second time for dinner. Once again the food and service were excellent. I had an Old-Fashioned cocktail which I enjoyed along with the Big Eye Tuna and Feta from Fira small plates. Two small plates were sufficient to fill me up. Of course both plates were delightfully flavorful.

New place in Audubon that looked interesting. The restaurant may have potential but unfortunately did not execute well. The decor is good and the concept is interesting but seems like they are still trying to find their legs. Was excited to see "Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice" on the menu but unfortunately, it was from a container. The cappuccino had good art on it but was cold until they remade it. Service was friendly but the biggest disappointment was the food. We started with the shrimp and crab bisque. There were no shrimp to be seen and only a touch of crab added for garnish and lukewarm temp. The salad that accompanied my main was the most basic rendition I have received in years. For the price point, the quality and execution of the food was subpar. I hope it was just one bad day and that we can try the other items on the menu that sound interesting.

New spot that has quickly become a favorite of mine! The Cage has an eloquent meets electric design. The restaurant is spacious with plenty seating, a well designed bar, and an enclosed patio for seating as well. The cocktail menu is one of a kind with each drink having a little story attached. The drinks have great presentation and some come with an experience such as bubbles, or a smoked essence. My favorite drinks is the Upper 90. I also like the Theater of Dreams. To eat, I've repeatedly got the chicken lettuce wraps which I've thoroughly enjoyed! The service is pretty standard. They're kind and check on you every so often.

This place has instagram written all over it. Cocktails are very bouche. Decent hh but expensive. Food is good but not sure worth the price for small portions overall m. Service at bar was great though.

The ambience was nice. Surprised to see it so busy on a Monday night! I generally don't like to taste the alcohol in my mixed drink so the Champion's League was a great choice for me. My husband got an espresso martini which was delicious as well. Both tasted like dessert in a glass--which was great until we started eating our entrees. We ordered the sesame crusted feta and the grilled octopus. (If there's octopus on the menu, we're going to try it.) The feta was sweet with the grilled grapes and the honey drizzled over it and the octopus had a sweet glaze as well as a miso eggplant puree that was on the sweet side also. The flavors independently were all very good, but together it just wasn't to our taste. The Huli Huli chicken was very tasty and huge portions, but again...sweet bbq. My husband's burger was also huge and the sausage and patty were good, but included a sweet bbq sauce. The truffle fries were delicious!! Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We think we sabotaged our own meal with our sweet drinks. Perhaps with a different choice of beverage our palates wouldn't have been overwhelmed. But overall, our impression was that we'd come back again another night to try dessert and more drinks.

Loved the atmosphere of this restaurant but thought the music was a bit too loud. I was with a large group of friends and couldn't hear the person sitting across from me. Food was good with a lot of variety. I ordered one of the flatbreads as my meal. It was delicious and huge. Definitely big enough for two people or several if you want to share with the table. It also made a nice lunch for the next day. Service was mostly good. I think our server might have been new to serving because he was a bit flustered by our large group. Drinks could have been served faster but I think the delay was due to the large crowd and the newness of the restaurant. There was a large birthday party group and many patrons for happy hour. Overall it was a good first experience. I liked the food and atmosphere. Definitely a place to visit again.

Beautiful place. Food was really good and flavorful. Drinks are also very nice and tasty . Choose to sit at the bar and service was good. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable with his drinks. Ordered many appetizer since it was out first time and we came hungry .. grilled octopus was good ( but came out a bit to cold ) mango habanero wings amazing and crunchy, short rib Mac & cheese yummy and cheesy, chicken yakitory was my least favorite .. the peanut sauce was blah and boring. For our entrees we tried the shrimp risotto which was super delicious and the huli huli chicken( I believe it was called lol ) omg that was amazing ! Definitely coming back and recommending . The only thing I didn't enjoy was they started closing up about half an hour early and didn't even offer us a last drink or even suggest any dessert ... I love dessert .. and was looking forward to trying one .. they had like 4 people packing everything up behind the bar .. which usually happens after they close the restaurant doors not while people are still sitting there and still about 30 minutes left to closing time .. we were just giving the bill .. we drove about 45 minutes to go there so next time I'll make sure to make it way earlier so I can try the desert lol.

Been waiting to try this place. So glad we finally had the pleasure. Went here for our Anniversary dinner on a Sunday and it was packed! Opted to eat outdoors which was pleasant and even had a retractable roof! The place has a trendy "big city" feel to it. We really needed a restaurant/bar like this in the area- there's nothing else that comes close. Love it! We started off with the avocado hummus which was amazing! For our main course we had the crab cakes and crispy shrimp risotto. The risotto was missing the green peas and instead had a drizzle of pesto. Crab cakes were very good! We got truffle fries with the crab cake and a side Caesar salad- both good as well! Didn't really care for my drink- Hat Trick but the husband liked his Old Fashioned. Overall we enjoyed and would be back. Only negative that stood out was that nobody acknowledged our Anniversary which was mentioned in our reservation. Bummer!

I was extremely impressed by my recent visit to the cage. When I walked in, my expectations were low. The host stand was back-lit by an eye piercing wall that looked like a billboard. It was dimly lit and hard to see/hear. Upon being seated at my table my opinion quickly changed. Gene was our server and he was excellent. The cocktails were delicious and well balanced. Presentation of the drinks were a nice touch. I was very impressed by the food. It was flavorful and nothing missed. I took advantage of the tuna tartare on the happy hour. That was fresh and delicious. The spicy jawn pizza is a must order!! Flavors were out of this world: (Korean BBQ sauce, kimchi, burrata, bulgogi sausage, lime cream, green onion, sesame seed) We also had ordered the short ribs which came apart so easily and the corn cream on the side... WOW. Ended the night with a warm lava cake. Portions were great. Waters were always filled. Food came out hot and was very tasty. I would absolutely return!

Went here recently, willing to wait for a table since reservations were full. We were told we could not wait- all the tables were booked and our only option was to sit at the bar. The restaurant was 1/2 empty so I was shocked. We sat at the bar and were basically ignored the whole time. Even when I asked again about a table I was told they could not accommodate my request. The food and drinks were great but the service was awful. Even when we left most of those tables were still empty- I've never felt so unwelcome at a restaurant.

Let's be real. The review is for the drinks. They're beautiful, the service is great despite being newly opened, and it's soooo pretty inside. I'm not a fan of sweet drinks and there were still plenty of options for my palate. Do not go here expecting to be blown away by the food, it was definitely not bad, but nothing super special overall. More like bar food. The cheesesteak egg rolls were pretty bland, but the Mac and cheese had a lot of flavor! I've definitely had better truffle fries as well. For sure a great spot for drinks overall.

I went again for happy hour and I would adjust my rating to a 3/5. I think the waiters/waitresses need to be trained more for a place that's on the pricier side I would expect better service. Both times I've been here they could've been more attentive and this time our waiter charged the full amount instead of the happy hour prices which we had to catch. I got the around the world drink, the specialty cocktail drinks are $10 for HH which isn't bad because they are aesthetic and very strong. The truffle fries were okay, I liked them at first but when I ate more I got grossed out. Sauce was good though. We also split the tipsy saccetti and it was overly salty, would not recommend. I think the drinks the only thing that are worth it even though they don't taste the best definitely worth it for the amount of alcohol they put in. The food is pretty subpar.

I decided to try The Cage after it came up on a search for cocktail bars. We met friends there who were also first timers. The decor and ambience are super cool with hanging birdcages throughout the restaurant. The place was busy, and we had to wait for our table, but we loved where we were seated at the high top tables and appreciated the eclectic drink menu with photos! The Gold Cup Martini was delicious, and our friends liked their Hat Trick cocktail. The Cage's menu is huge, so we shared the Korean tacos with filet mignon and Kim-chi. The chicken tortilla soup was a hit, and I loved the Triple S Octopus which I had as an entree. Our friends also couldn't say enough about their vegetarian pizza and burger. A fun, festive atmosphere and a great time. My only dislike was our server who tried to push more cocktails and dessert.

The Ambiance is what pulls you in. This is the 2nd visit and was hoping it would be better this time than the last. Our sever Danny was friendly and attentive. I had the chicken and waffles and it was bland. I was so sorry I spent the money on it. My first drink was the rum cocktail in a cool tiki cup but it reminded me of the pink medicine I had has a kid with alcohol. Everyone at my table tried it and agreed. My friends didn't say much about their food and left what they didn't eat on their plates. $33 for chicken and waffles with a drink was insanely expensive. The food is tastefully plated and the drinks looked pretty. Sad thing is that everything lacked flavor,

My wife and I went to The Cage for dinner after driving past a few times and having it recommended to us by friends. I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We made a reservation for two. When we arrived we were seated almost immediately. There was at least one, maybe two, events going on in the "outdoor" pergola area. It didn't seem to have any effect on what was going on inside the rest of the restaurant. The drink menu can be a bit overwhelming as there are a lot of options and each signature drink has a dedicated page to itself. Nonetheless we tried five of them, and enjoyed every one of them. The espresso martinis served here are top 3 espresso martinis I've ever had. The triple s octopus and tuna poke tartare are both pictured on their menu, and for good reason, they're both flavorful dishes. I've never had grilled octopus prepared with miso and soy flavors; it pairs very well. We ordered the spicy jawn pizza - because it was a different flavor combination than we've ever seen before - and the crab cakes to split. The crust on the pizza was cooked perfectly - light, airy, and crispy - with great flavor. The crab cakes were good too. Our server, Matthew, was awesome. He gave recommendations, checked up on the table to ensure we didn't need anything and gave us updates on our food if he thought things were backing up in the kitchen so we weren't waiting too long. The price point overall is higher than what one could expect around here; they're at a Philadelphia, almost NYC price point. It wouldn't stop me from going back because I enjoyed the experience but it may not be for everyone. There's also a very instagram-worthy wall/area by the bar to get quality pictures. Whether you're going in for dinner or just grabbing drinks, take a stop over and check out The Cage in Audubon.

This was the first time my friends and I visited this restaurant and it was nice. The drinks and appetizers were delicious. The environment was so cool. We waited at the bar until a table was available. Make ahead of time reservations if going on the weekend. I had the chicken and waffles which was wonderful. The waffle was crispy on outside and soft in the middle like I like. The syrup was yummy with a chipotle kick to it. The chicken strips were good, however, I prefer a bone in chicken and waffle. My friends had the steak and eggs and BBQ chicken and ate it, but it wasn't seasoned. They didn't think it was flavorful. The service was friendly at the bar and at the table. The bar serves the same as the table if you're not able to be seated quickly. I would definitely go back again.

"I..eh, well, it's okay." That was the response to the [i'm assuming] manager who asked how things were going. She didn't seem concerned, but honestly, she should have been. So many people have been raving about this place, and I figured, "hey, a trendy place in Audubon, gotta check this out!" Yeah, well, i did, and honestly, i left quite unimpressed. And that may come as a shock given all the four and five star ratings, but i suppose it's easy to get good reviews when the next most interesting location in a five mile radius is chickie and pete's or Chipotle. This place certainly is *trying* to be...something...but it honestly feels like they haven't yet figured it out. Upon first arrival, it looks pretty neat, and the bar area certainly is impressive. Everyone at the bar was extremely pleasant. The bar lacks hooks underneath for hanging coats, purses, etc., but that's minor. Lots of seating to the left of the entrance, with lots of TVs, and another seating section to the right of the bar. Music was varied, and fairly loud, and the room itself was very loud from all the chatter and people having to talk over the music. Is this a bar or restaurant? Later, the music changed to EDM music. Are they trying to be a club now? The drink menu is large, and most of the drinks have a soccer theme to it. They must have lots of soccer games on some of the several giant screens all over the place. Drinks were served quickly, and both the One Touch and Lavender Lloyd have fun presentation. Lots of showmanship for sure. And they taste decent if you like the taste of sugar. Basically, and this was true for all four of our drinks, there's lots of showmanship, but the drinks are basically made from pre-made mixes (assuming in-house-made) with alcohol added later. And not much alcohol, which is surprising given the cocktails cost $15/drink. Certainly don't think that is sustainable in this area, especially given Blue Bird in Phoenixville charges closer to $10/$12 for their drinks, and you can taste the alcohol in those. Now dinner. We had a seat at a large table, and that was nice. Some places give you tiny two-person tables and you can't fit your food, but not a problem here. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear each other across the huge table because of all the noise. They definitely need sound proofing. The menu itself is huge, and all over the place. We ordered lettuce wraps and a pizza for an appetizer, and told the waitress we would order more as we figured it out. The lettuce wraps were disappointing. Lots of chopped veggies, which is nice, but a very small portion of under-seasoned chicken and a huge amount of rice. It was bland, the only flavor coming from what appeared to be a ramekin of asian-flavored salad dressing. The pizza, fortunately, was excellent, which makes sense given they moved into the old Bertucci's building. We had planned to order a couple more dishes (we always over-order our first time to a new place), but the waitress had disappeared, and by this point, we weren't that hungry. We ordered the Whiskey burger, which sounded good, but wasn't. It sounds *amazing*, but all you can taste is BBQ sauce. Now, i love BBQ sauce, and i've tried most brands on the market and even make my own, but whatever they are using is pretty much just straight sugar. Absolutely overpowering, which is a shame because it *should* be a legit burger. They also have wings on the menu, though at $2/wing, it's a little ridiculous. And they come out on a plate, just kinda thrown on there without much thought, and no side. For that price, there needs to be more effort. Some of the pastas looked good from a distance, but can't speak to the flavor. Maybe they should be an italian restaurant? Lastly, they charge a 3.5% surcharge on the post-tax amount to pay with a credit card. For the prices they charge, it's basically a guarantee people will be paying with a card. It's long been considered bad practice to make people pay to pay you, but it's also worth considering 3.5% is more than credit card companies typically charge, including Amex, so they're making profit on this charge. I'd say build it in if you actually need to, but the prices are already too high. Just don't have it, that would be better. This place honestly needs work, and it starts with figuring out what they want to be. Bar? Restaurant? Other? If they want to be an average bar, they're fine. But it seems they're trying to be a trendy restaurant, and they currently fall short. Reduce the menu to focus on only serving top-notch offerings; anything average or worse needs to go. Audubon doesn't have many options, and that has driven a lot of traffic here, but people are eventually going to get tired of the overpriced sugar drinks and only-adequate food once the "newness" wears off. People can get top-quality drinks or trendy food in Phoenixville/Collegeville/KoP, for cheaper. Currently, they don't live up to the hype.

First, atmosphere is amazing. Very unique and fun interior decor. Now for my meal, I sat at the bar and had a fantastic experience. The service was attentive and kind. I had the Korean tacos which were very delicious although slightly on the salty side. However it paired perfectly with a beer. My server even let me try the limoncello! Highly recommend.

Great place with excellent service Nevi made the experience so much better. She was knowledgeable of the menu and very friendly. Food and drinks were all very good but would come back for the service.

Have heard good things so we checked it out tonight. The decor is great, especially the bar. Our cocktails were really good. Hubs had the short ribs with whipped potatoes and plantains. He cleared his plate. I really liked my risotto with shrimp. Their twist on profiteroles was yummy, too. Service was good and bussers were quick to clear plates. My only gripe is the tables are odd- you sit so far away from your dining companion that conversation is a challenge, esp. as the room gets loud. If I were on a date or catching up with someone, it would be awkward. I'd still return and the weeknight Happy Hour looks good.

Good time on our last visit! Food, service and cocktails were great! It can be very loud inside when the facility is busy. Ambiance is trendy with open ceilings (industrial) and sound will overwhelm you when busy. We appreciate a nice restaurant that has very good food, cocktails and servers that are attentive but not over bearing! This place fits the bill.

Best restaurant in the area. I've been here about 6 times since they have opened and haven't been disappointed once. The cocktails are all outstanding, I've had about 10 of them now. The food works at all times of day and (brunch lunch dinner all top notch). I honestly can't think of a single thing negative. Service is outstanding, maybe even a little too good for my taste, I'm not looking to get the whole spiel every time I come in, but that's me. The inside is killer cool, lots of room and tables. Go here. Now.

This Cage is very similar to the original in Warrington. The seating space is larger and the entire restaurant has the same vibe, unlike the Warrington location which is split into the Cage bar and Select Pizza (different ambiance). Menu selection is very good, dishes well prepared with fresh ingredients, and cocktails are outstanding. Highly recommend reservations if planning to go - especially weekend evenings and brunch time.

Second time here, first time was just a quick drink that was great. This time we went for dinner and it was some of the best food I've had in a long long time. Drinks took a minute to come out, but they were busy and it's not like they're normal drinks, so it's acceptable and expected. Mine was a tad strong in my opinion, but delicious. I couldn't decide and the waitress told me to go with the one I had decided on first, so I did and got the Tipsy pasta?, and made a fool of myself scraping up the sauce with my wife's pizza crust (their crust should also be recognized, perfect) We shared apps for the table and the tomato salad came with a little dropper thing so you could garnish it to your taste. Everyone loved the panna cotta, not my thing, but the tomato salad part was excellent. After a strong drink or two and all that food I didn't even listen to desserts. The table shared a few and none were left, so they must have been good. Servers were funny, my wife and her friends had a blast taking pictures, food & drinks were great, maybe a little loud, but an unexpectedly amazing experience.

I only have all great things to say about The Cage in Audubon. From the food, the drinks, the staff everything is excellent! The drinks prices aren't the cheapest but it's the experience and ambiance that does it for me. There's definitely something on the menu for everyone's palette but so far, I really like the flatbreads, the rice bowls, the avocado guacamole is absolutely amazing! Their wines are good quality, and they make some really cool cocktails, Cleats Up is soooo good with a little kick to it and a smoked sugar coated pineapple slice - soooo tasty. Christos, one of the bartenders, is friendly, fun with a perfect smile and goes out of his way to make sure we had what we needed. He even made us a little fruit bowl upon request. He is definitely an asset to The Cage!! I highly recommend you checking this place out.

The restaurant has a sultry ambiance and well thought-out seating arrangements, so I really appreciate the effort that went into curating the vibe. I ordered the Los Galacticos cocktail & it was so strong that I felt tipsy still after 2.5 hours and with food in my system. The tequila overpowered the other flavors in the drink and did not wow me by any means. Even the sparse tajin was not evenly dispersed on the outside of the glass, so I couldn't lick the tajin to compensate for the drink. My friends also ordered that Hat Trick, Lavender Lloyd, Tiki Taka, and Around the World. I tasted all of their drinks and only Around the World provided me with the divine taste experience that I expected from this restaurant; all the other drinks were too strong and tasted like jungle juice. I ordered truffle fries and the Tipsy Sacchetti. The former tasted great at first, but after finishing the whole plate, I realized that the fries seemed like they were frozen then fried, rather than fresh. I felt very bloated after eating this. We only ordered the Tipsy Sacchetti to share because I was still drunk from the one cocktail that I couldn't drive home yet. The pasta dish was just okay. The 3 of us agreed that the pasta was toooooo salty, and the homemade breadstick wasn't anything to rave about. Our waiter was courteous and nice, but the waiters as a whole seemed like they weren't equip or taught to work in an "award wining, highly acclaimed" restaurant. Since we sat so close to the kitchen, we noticed several times that all of the waiters were lingering by the bar, joking around with one another, and playing with the bubble machine. The restaurant appears to mimic a hot-shot, city restaurant, but the service, food, and drinks fall short of that. Overall, I have to rate this restaurant a 2 out of 5 because after I drove home, I threw up in the parking lot. And I never throw up, so I know it's from the food. Glad I tried it, but I don't plan on coming back.

I was able to secure a New Year's Eve reservation at The Cage a couple days before for our first visit. I like that they utilize OpenTable for reservations and that I did not have to call anyone. I knew going into this that this restaurant was on the pricy side and that they charge a 3.5% convenience fee for paying with a card (we brought cash for this reason). We arrived at 3:50 for our 4:00 reservation. We were seated at our table around the reservation time. The table we sat at was the first table to the right of the host stand when you walk in. I think the tables are kind of long like other reviewers mentioned. I felt like I was shouting at my husband in order to have a conversation over the length of the table and the music volume. A server took around 10 minutes to come greet us. What I find really odd was that the man who ended up being our server was talking to the table next to us for a long time when we were first seated, and he told the table next to us he is going to be taking a little break, but didn't stop to greet us or at the very least tell us he would be right with us or that he would get us water in the meantime. After a long wait, a different server said a server would be right with us, and then that same server I mentioned earlier greeted us. It left a bad taste in my mouth considering the restaurant was not that busy at 4 pm. Our server was pleasant once we were greeted. I ordered the One-Touch cocktail ($15), and my husband ordered the Gate 4 Old Fashioned ($16). The cocktails are very expensive, but the presentation is entertaining. I could really taste the alcohol in our drinks. We ordered the Wise Guy pizza ($21) as an appetizer, Almond-Crusted salmon entrees ($25 x2), and Chocolate Lava cake for dessert ($9.99). The Wise Guy pizza was good, but we had to be careful eating it because there were hard bits of what I think was from the prosciutto on the pizza. We both enjoyed the Almond-Crusted salmon which came with sides of rice and broccoli. The Chocolate Lava cake came with vanilla ice cream and it was good, but I thought it was small for the price, and I was able to eat the whole thing since my husband was full (usually I cannot finish a normal sized dessert from a restaurant). Overall, I don't think I'm in a rush to come back here anytime soon, but I am glad I tried it.

Good for happy hour drinks, but very average food. I have frequented this place twice now. It has a very nice consistent aesthetic with bird related decor (cages, seats..). The food both times was okay, with entrees on the pricier end. So far I've tried fish, pasta, sandwiches, small plates, and many drinks. The drinks are definitely the highlight among those items. The drink menu has a wide section of soccer themed drinks, wine, and liquor. The themed drinks however are very strong. The flavor profiles were interesting and unique. For my fellow ladies, once drink is enough to suffice for the rest of the night. Three will have you walking a little funny. The small plates are your best bet for food followed by the sandwiches. The appetizers were filling but seemed bland. You can easily get better cheesesteak roll ups at a local pub, unremarkable but decent Mac and cheese. For entrees, the branzino al forno had a good portions, but for $35 was not impressive in flavor. The tipsy sacchetti (pasta), was served in a very salty sauce with what seemed to taste like box pasta. The chicken asado baguette was well executed. Crispy baguette, seasoned chicken, coupled with a good chimichurri sauce. Wasn't bold on flavor but very good. Overall, would likely return only for happy hour drinks and skip on the food.

First time here at this restaurant and was recommended from friends to come try this place. We came around 11am right when it opened and it was pretty empty but this place started to get packed quick! This place was so nicely decorated and the vibes there were just amazing. Restaurant was really spacious and there were many tables and also seating at the bar area as well. Started off ordering drinks and there's many options on their cocktail menu and I decided to order the espresso martini and that came out delicious. Food menu also has many options to choose from and we were recommended to get the pasta and pizza so that's what we did and also Korean tacos as an appetizer. For pasta, we ordered the chicken parm and pizza we got the select-t-t margarita pizza and they were both delicious. We will definitely be back to come try their other items on the menu! Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Despite their "cagey" atmosphere, it was a liberating experience ;) The ambiance and decor was outstanding, the food was delicious and service was excellent. The drinks although a bit pricey, were unique and flavorful.

The Cage is a trendy restaurant that offers speciality drinks and an expansive menu. The speciality drinks are $15. The menu was extremely expansive and offered everything from pizza to octopus. I ordered the crab cakes and they were delicious! Everyone at my table ordered something different and loved it all. The food was fairly priced and many items were cheaper than the drinks. The service was fairly quick and the servers were very attentive. There is a 3.5% charge on credit cards, so be prepared and bring cash.

Stopped in for a drink at The Cage while staying at a nearby hotel. I thought this place was SO cute--the vibe is really great, and the attentive bartenders were helpful but not pushy. I didn't have any food here, so I can't speak to that, but I think this is a great place to meet friends for drinks.

I've been here twice before with decent experiences, nothing super amazing but also nothing terrible. My third trip here changed all of that. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our waiter was very kind and chatty. We started with two cocktails, a paper plane and a dark and stormy. I know, we didn't order off the cocktail menu, but this is because all of the drinks I have had previously were very sugar heavy so we just wanted to try some simple, classic cocktails. It took quite some time for the drinks to come out and the waiter stopped by to tell us the bar was frustrated with the order and being rude to him about it. He stopped a second time to tell us the manager said they could not make a paper plane, but then a few minutes later both drinks showed up on the table. They were not made well and didn't taste right. We let the waiter know, and we weren't super put out by it to be honest. We ordered the chicken skewers as an appetizer, and then the risotto and a spicy jawn pizza as our mains. The two mains came out what seemed like 5 minutes after we ordered them. Very surprising how fast they hit the table. The appetizer was nowhere to be seen. The pizza tasted good but the crust was very soggy and there was a lot of liquid on the bottom of the pizza, I'm assuming juice from the kimchi. The risotto was so salty and off putting. The fried shrimp on top were good and cooked well. About 15 mins after the mains arrived the appetizer showed up. The chicken skewers were great, far and away the best bites of the evening. Our server cleared our plates, offering boxes for the leftover food which we declined. We weren't asked about dessert, he just dropped the check for us. He could tell we weren't thrilled with the meal, but he did a great job checking on us and being attentive, and we made sure to tip him very well. Visually the place is great, but past that there's not much substance. The menu feels disjointed and the prices are too high for the quality of food they are serving. For a place that calls itself a cocktail bar the cocktails are definitely lacking. The bar should be able to make classic cocktails that are not on the menu and without being rude to the waitstaff about it.

I'm so happy this place opened up. I wasn't sure what this place is about but seeing my neighbor posted on fb about her experience I decided to try it. Wow first of all, the interior design is amazing. Definitely a lot of Instagram worthy ops. This place reminds me of a lot of brunch places in DC I go to when I meet up with friends. Around this area we definitely are missing the brunch culture, so I'm so glad to see a place like this in this area. I've been here twice so far, and both times are packed! So I would definitely recommend making a reservation, not sure if they can take any walk ins right now. I've tried beignet, smoked salmon Benny, and chicken and waffles. Man, they all are super tasty. Both me and my friends enjoy the food here. The second time I went we waited our food for awhile, I think chicken and waffle might just take longer to make compare to other options. Anyways if you're looking to try a new brunch place, give this place a shot, you won't regret it.
