    From the moment we walked in and they held the door open for us to quickly being greeted and sat at our reserved table it was wonderful. The appetizers were tasty. We had the Estia chips, octopus, and the beets. Our meals were served hot and in a timely fashion. We had the lamb chops, the sea bass, and the chicken dish. Everything was done well and they gave us the necessary attention without being overbearing. All of the food was tasty and no need to add anything to enhance the flavors. It is fine dining and the price reflects that but it is worth the splurge.

    This has quickly become one of my favorite places. The food is delightful. The staff is amazing. The atmosphere is greatly unique. For an intimate dining experience of two to a larger group of friends out for some drinks and dinner The Cage offers it all. The main dining area includes booths, high tops, the bar, and a caged table for a bigger party that seems to sit 8-10 people. The main area is decorated in what I would say is the Garden of the Hesperides meets Wonderland. There is a separate dining room as well that is tucked away from the noise that has a beautiful fireplace and a large crafted canoe suspended from the ceiling. The drink menu plays off Greek mythology and the food menu offers a variety of dishes to suit even the most picky eaters pallet.
