Birdcage Hollywood

Dinner before seeing Hamilton at the Pantages. Nice welcome, seated right away no wait. Our server was Micah. He was very attentive and met all our requests with a smile. I ordered the Burrata & Beet Salad and the Chicken BLTA. The salad was absolutely fantastic. It was such a large portion. I was so full I didn't eat hardly any of my sandwich. The beet were roasted perfectly and the quinoa and arugula were lightly nutty along with the creamy burrata cheese! It truly was one of the best I have ever had and I always order this salad if it's on the menu. The vibe was really channeling South Beach Miami with the decor, lighting, furniture and even the staff's uniforms. Low lighting ambiance was really setting the mood to chill. No A/C since they kept their front doors open to invite passersby. Will definitely be back for another salad. There was a separate bar area that looked interesting but didn't have time to explore. Tip: Not really for kids/families. More smallGroups, lunch or dinner with friends before the theatre or date night. Price: $$

We got seated by the Matre De & served by Chris. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers, one with bacon & an egg.All was ALL was very good! Then followed up with a Paloma.All a food was good, they followed up a few times to make sure we were happily seated and good with the service & food.Will definitely be back again. Especially when at the Pantagous Theatre!A good call for sure

Cute convenient spot next to the Pantages Theatre, decent food with a trendy vibe.We were a group a ladies coming from WICKED during the Holiday. We were greeted and seated quickly upon entering, we had a nice waiter and our food was good, the inside decor is very similar to the movie which was cool. Overall an okay experience.

First time here before seeing a performance at the Pantages. Menu is limited. Music was too loud for my friend and I at the bottom floor. We elected to sit on the floor above where the music was not as loud, but had to get permission first. My friend and I ordered the chicken sandwich $19. I had to get up and ask for service. Was told they were short-staffed. We each ordered the chicken sandwich which was delicious! When the bill came, we were surprised that the fries were an extra $4 each. We didn't recall asking for fries. When we asked the server he said he had asked if we wanted fries, we said yes, and pointed to the charge below the menu. We didn't argue and paid the bill. Extra 5% restaurant fee too. Very convenient before a show. I'd want to try other nearby restaurants.

I go to the Pantages all the time, but I just assume the same places are there. I actually was just wandering around before a show, and just meandered into this place. I was expecting to see that Bennigan's style tavern I usually see. Instead was this new sleek restaurant I've never tried before. The bar seemed to be where all the action is, plus I was by myself. I ordered the steak frites with a 6oz Tempranillo to accompany. Outstanding!! The bartenders were making the most amazing cocktails and my eyes would grow just watching them. Then they'd pour me a teeny sample!! Great marketing. I did want to order it, but had to get to the theater. The food and drink here is absolute perfection. I cannot wait to come here again for more pre-show food, drink, ambiance, and great service!

Food was mediocre at best. The burger tasted like a block of sharp cheddar, and the grilled chicken Mac n cheese tasted like pasta on gravy. You are paying a premium for the convenience for a pre-pantages meal.Be aware that as of June 2024 they are charging a 5% administration fee that they claim is neither gratuity nor service charge, so I don't know what kind of administration I'm paying for. It was definitely not for the service as they pay no attention to you.I will not be returning to this establishment.

Went there for the show at the Pantages to be quite honest was not expecting too much just because the restaurant has changed hands many times, but we were incredibly pleasantly surprised and very impressed with the food. The service in the ambience.We had both the burger and a fried chicken dish and both we're excellent. I recommend the food and going there either before a show or anytime you're in Hollywood.

We were in a pinch and needed a place to eat before musical we were late too. They were quick kind and the food was good. They're cocktails are actually really good too. Very cute space that has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very nice. We actually wish we could've stayed longer. Would recommend this place.

The takeaway: Enthusiastic waitstaff. Well lit spacious setting. Mediocre food. Came here for a pre-Pantages dinner with my theatre companion and should have taken it as a sign that tables were available for immediate occupancy. The menu ranged from artisanally prepared chicken wings to salads to sandwiches to more traditional entrees. Rated 1-5 (5 being best)We had:the lemon pepper wings (3)Buffalo cauliflower (3)Birdcage bowl (4) The lemon pepper wings were awkward to eat due to their size. Not the small nubs one would normally get at a bar, these were the full wing, prepared with (get ready for this shocking revelation) lemon and pepper. The accompanying blue cheese sauce was uninspired. The Buffalo cauliflower was too greasy, though the seasoning was tasty. The Birdcage bowl (with salmon) was a run of the mill entrant in this competition. I will say it was well priced for the area. It's a good convenient pre-show location and I will give them a second chance when I'm back at the Pantages again. I hope the chef reads this and ups their game.

It's a great pre-theater place right next to the Pantages. We went with friends and shared the buffalo cauliflower, which was a great start to the meal. Then: the burger (good), the sandwich with caramelized onions that were soggy. The fries were excellent - as was the red beet salad.This is a great place. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a great experience. But: I get really upset when I see this "We have a 5% surcharge for administration." C'mon guys: administration work is part of every business. Why upset your customers with such nonsense? I'd rather pay 5% more per dish than deal with such a BS that most likely push me to other places in the neighborhood.
