    I haven't been to broken cage in a while. We decided to meet up some friends for drinks here before dinner. We made it in for happy hour. We were able to get a table for 4. Did a few rounds of drinks before happy hour ended. All the drinks were pretty good. Loved the vibe of broken cage. I forgot how it was inside. You were also able to order food next door from rusteak if you want. They had magical dining going on as well. We had arrangements to do Korean bbq but next time we will come back for drinks and food. A lot of the dining options on the menu sounded great. Our bartender was pretty awesome too!

    So if you have decided that you want to visit Rusteak, visit the one in Thornton Park just to go next to it and visit Broken Cage. This little upscale bar is owned by Rusteak and is connected to it, but only located at the Thornton Park location. It is a very chill location with the only issue possibly being finding parking unless you pay at a garage not far from the location. Once inside be sure to take in all the nice decor and talk to the great bartenders. There is a happy hour which gives a nice discount to apps and signature cocktails. The cocktails are top notch and have very upscale combos which is nice. Then if you want food, with them being attached to Rusteak, you have access to their complete menu! They will of course bring and serve the food to you over at the Broken Cage side as well. Pro tip: If you do the Thornton Park Art walk I suggest parking and hitting up happy hour here first to start the festivities!

    I had a great experience here yesterday for brunch. There was no wait compared to all the other restaurants in the area that required reservations ahead of time. It's such a cute spot for brunch! Very great atmosphere. They have a full bar too. I ordered a sangria and it was made fresh! It was super tasty. For appetizer, we order the loaded potatoes which were AMAZING. I will continue dreaming about these potatoes! I ordered the Korean chicken and waffles, it came with egg and bacon and a spicy sauce that was so good. Of course it was way too much food for me to finish it all but I wish I could've. My friend ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict and I got to try it, they were sooo yummy! I also heard great things about the shrimp and grits. Overall, we had a great experience here and I will definitely be back. Service was great too, although there was only one person working everything was quick and he was very friendly.

    We found this place on accident and were pleasantly surprised. The speakeasy serves food from the neighboring Rusteak restaurant with a few unique items (the open sesame shrimp were easily one of the best bites of the night, would certainly recommend). The service was very friendly but they forgot my cocktail until we were almost finished eating - they had a big party in so certainly understandable, just wish it had come sooner as I would have had another. Overall definitely worth going to for a date night environment!

    We had originally planned to go to Mather social gathering, but there was a line and we decided that we were too old to stand in line so we found ourselves here. This place is on my list of spots to check out. It's always fairly empty, but the decor is so cute. It's hard not to visit. We ordered some fries and desserts about 10 minutes and there was an hour left until the bar closed on a Saturday night. we were group 2 couples and all ordered different drinks. Everything was made well. The bartender was really nice and we had the place to ourselves. That is a win in my book. Everyone enjoyed everything they ate and a good time was had all around that hidden gem in the neighborhood and not too far from downtown, so if you find yourself in downtown and wanna escape the craziness and have a good drink head over this way.

    A super cool place with a secret door, how cool is that? Great bartenders with the best drinks and an amazing ambiance, small but cozy and if you get hungry you can order from next door. Un lugar súper genial con una puerta secreta, ¿qué tan genial es eso? Grandes camareros con las mejores bebidas y un ambiente increíble, pequeño pero acogedor y si tienes hambre puedes pedir al lado.

    From the moment we walked in this bougie little place, until the moment we walked out, everything was superb!!! The bartender was, hands-down, one of the best we have ever seen doing his craft!! Definitely a great place to hang out on a breezy Sunday afternoon. The vibe was very cool and the drinks were delicious!! Absolutely cannot wait to come back!!

    I came here to have cocktails after a race in downtown Orlando! We sat outside; however, the inside area is very nicely decorated and a cool, chill environment. We were greeted upon entry (very nice host and bartender), and you are able to sit wherever you chose. Although I didn't order any food, it looked tasty and was presented well. There's no valet parking, but street parking and the parking garage are near. It's a very small, quaint place; but I enjoyed seating outside and people watching. It also doesn't hurt that the drinks tasted great and were reasonably priced ($10-16).

    We originally were going for brunch at Rusteak (attached to broken cage) but after finding out about an hour wait, the hostess informed us to check out broken cage next door. We walked over and found a quieter, more exclusive environment with no wait and the same brunch menu as Rusteak! For us it was a win win. For food we had: - shrimp and grits: totally recommend delish flavor with the bacon bits on top - tiramisu french toast : lacked the marshmallow mentioned in the description, still tasty but would recommend another option to try first - Avocado BLT: delish, just messy with the egg so get ready to get your hands dirty! Oh and the sauce to dip your potatoes in is addictive.

    Fall festival
    Shaji K.

    After a filling dinner nearby, decided to stop by this cocktail bar for a nightcap. Not many people inside, and seemingly separated from an adjacent restaurant by just a door that connects the two. Was able to snag two chairs at the table in the back. Ordered the Fall Festival cocktail ($8.25) - Sipsmith gin with bitters, cinnamon, and apple. A little heavy on the cinnamon, but great to sip on. Since I love that brand of gin, opted on just the Sipsmith and Tonic ($9) next. A more generous pour overall. If the restaurant next door is still open, they do serve food, though it wasn't when we were there. Nice bartender and space. I think they may have cleaned the space recently when we arrived as it still smelled like cleaning supplies. Would recommend for an easy drink for the night without a crowd.

    Amazing venue of unique custom craft cocktails. Jess was exceptional and knows her stuff. We will come back!

I really wanted to like this place but it was a swing and a miss. Parking was easy during the Saturday afternoon we visited. On busier occasions, they do offer valet parking. Nearby businesses share parking so if it's a peak time, you may have to walk a little to the door. Not a long wait before we were seated. Spacious with tables and booth seating. There is a bar and televisions here. Our hostess was nice and offered insight into the menu. For the appetizers, we started with oysters Rockefeller, and fried gator tail. It's a red flag when places smother items in a sauce instead of letting it stand on it's own. No complaints on the oysters and the gator tail was given previously frozen vibes. For the entree, I got the shrimp po' boy. The bread was hearty and held onto the six lil shrimp that they felt were enough. When the ratio of shrimp, bread and topping aren't portioned right, you end up with gaps of the flavor when you're eating. What sent me is the shrimp weren't properly deveined. If you took a biology class, you know that black line running along the back is the shrimp's waste system. I'm not eating that. The hostess saw me just sitting there looking at my food and asked if I wanted something different. Hard pass. Even the waffle fries were bad. They weren't piping hot and dried out inside. I made due with the sweet tea which they did well with. The manager came by and offered to remake or replace my meal. I appreciate his efforts but I didn't want anything at that point. The bathrooms were clean. Nice enough people but the kitchen didn't get it right.
