    We had a wonderful dinner, on the patio, last evening. We enjoyed Terlato Pinot Grigio, along with multiple Toto's on the rocks. Brooke was very sweet and attentive. I ordered the salmon, and my friends had a pasta dish and spinach stuffed chicken. We had no room for dessert; but we will definitely return.

    We have to keep Cage Calamari on our “mental radar”! The prices are quite good given the quality and ambiance. Drinks are a little pricey but generous. We loved our dinner and experience!
