Customer service is nonexistent, drinks are watered down, food was subpar and we waited for over 45 minutes for our bill after asking for it. Avoid if possible. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Birdcage Cafe in Miami Beach! Everything we ordered was delicious, including the cheese bacon burger, chicken Alfredo, and lemon chicken. The standout dish was definitely the lemon chicken--it was honestly the best I've ever had! It was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food came out fresh and hot. If you're looking for a great place to eat in Miami Beach, Birdcage Cafe is absolutely worth a visit. We will definitely be back! read more

Let's start by saying I came here because of the association with the movie. Big fan. :) That being said, it did not disappoint. I stopped in for a brunch cocktail and a coffee. I ordered a bloody mary and it came out with 4 shrimp on the rim as well as three green olives on a skewer. Nice. I followed up with a coffee and a pastry basket. Also nice. Sat outside on Ocean Drive and enjoyed the view. Overall, the food and drink as well as the experience was nice. read more

Ambience is cute. Service wasn't the best, I think because of the language barrier. He didn't understand English very well, so when I asked what cheese was in the omelette he couldn't give me an answer. Food was good! I enjoyed my ham and cheese omelette The boyfriend liked the garden omelette And we shared the pancake which was yummy with the fruit! Altogether, it was a good experience other than service. read more

We came here for the happy hour drinks which was any 20oz for $15 I ordered a Miami Vice, and I was disappointed at first because I swear it was a virgin, I had to ask the waiter cause it was a frozen slushy atp. Milton gave me another shot to add. My bestfriend had ordered the tropical drink or something and it was ok... We decided to share a BBQ Chicken flatbread pizza and unexpectedly that was sooo good . It was topped with stuff and very fulfilling . The service took forever I felt like we were getting forgot about but we sat right on the little patio outside looking into the street. 8/10 felt like the tried to scan me out the drink at first read more

While stopping by to get the obligatory photo in front of the Carlyle we saw they had a restaurant and decided to stop for appetizers. They ended up being so large they were our dinner. We had the chicken wings which were "ok" but we ate them! We also tried their calamari and zucchini which was excellent. We both ordered drinks and they were strong but good. Service was also great! And by the way, tell them you want happy hour prices and they will honor them. Their seats are outside like most places on the strip so it's loud but it's great people watching. read more

Another tourist trap as you are on the fame ocean drive in south beach. The restaurant is along the sidewalk so they hustle and bustle to get you in. We stopped off for a drink but ended up having a meal as well. The waitress that took care of us was really sweet. Friendly and sweet which compared to a few other places along the Blvd, they were not the same. Plenty of drinks on the menu as it is perfect for people watching and enjoying the view. Food wise, it was a mixture of everything. We stopped off for lunch so I'm sure the dinner menu is different . The food was quite nice, the mussels, quesadillas, calamari and fajitas. Service was great, enjoyed our experience and location is great. read more

My friends and I were offered free shots as we were walking by so we decided to stop by and eat as well, but I wish we hadn't bothered. This place is 100% a tourist trap from the prices to the quality to everything else. The "shots" they gave us were soo watered down, we couldn't even taste the alcohol. We decided to split some Buffalo Wings and Tuna Tartare. The tartare was fresh, but the flavor just wasn't there. It either tasted like I was sucking on a lime or biting into an onion. The bottom part was also soaking up whatever sauce it was sitting in, but it didn't add any flavor to it. All it did was make the chips soggy. For the wings, why in the world did they buffalo sauce come on the side? Why would we ask for buffalo wings that aren't cooked in the sauce? If you're going to do that, at least give us enough sauce to use for all the wings. Geezus. The wings themselves were dry and tasted like they had been sitting under the heatlamp for quite sometime. Don't fall for this tourist trap. read more

Popular lunch spot on Ocean Drive that doesn't fall 100% into the tourist trap of Ocean Drive. Lots of "inviting" places so you never really know, but I'd been before and felt that the specials along with the service weren't as overpriced as other places. With that said, on a rainy day, we had a great patio area of seats to keep us drive and still keep an eye on people as they walked by. We were all over the place with food, but it worked out. Had the Avocado Burger, Shrimp N Wings, Paella (not full of flavor but still good), Guac n Chips, Calamari, Pizza and quite a few cocktails. The service throughout the time there was great. Didn't feel rushed and got prompt responses when it came to drinks or any other side items. Food portions were good & matched the price point, so no complaints. Drinks were strong, which is good, and the social atmosphere made the family embrace the "South Beach Vibe". read more

The food tastes good enough. Service was fast however a little bit rushed and they forgot the lemonade. The restaurant has a very good location and great theme throughout the restaurant including a very pink design. The music they played was clean and had no cuss words. read more

The ambiance was great. The nachos were AMAZING but the Cuban was sub-par for me. A little pricey as you should expect to $80 for two people and that was without alcoholic drinks. I would definitely recommend eating here and give a solid 3.5 - 3.75. read more

We wanted to have dinner in the building that was home to the brilliant Birdcage movie - this building was used for the filming, but they don't capitalize on that at all (probably too old to care). We were seated inside right away and our very friendly waitress brought us water with lemons, still no ice. This is definitely a theme down here. We ordered a beautiful Miami Vice, but it was light on the alcohol, and a bacon burger and fries. Soccer was on the TV and the restaurant was nice and calm for a Saturday evening. Our food was ok - the burger was well cooked, but it had a funky pickle relish thing on it that was too much to ignore and the bun was stale. The fries were hot (score!) and tasty, but no ranch. Oh well! We were treated to another 20% service charge on our bill, so make sure you make note of that when you order. Friendly staff, light pours on the drinks, and interesting combos on the menu. No Robin Williams / Nathan Lane vibes here, but the pics of the outside brought back memories for sure! #nostalgia read more

Food was over cooked and over priced however it was ample the service was good so I guess it being on south beach it get a thumbs up

Great spot for breakfast right on Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami. The atmosphere was refreshing and the food was delicious. I ordered the Avocado Toast and the Belgian Waffle, and the server was kind enough to customize the waffle with a Nutella spread. read more

Tourists always want to have dinner on Ocean Dr. Miami residents usually want to avoid that. Fortunately, the Birdcage Cafe is a spot that delivers service, food, and pretty decent prices for South Beach. Milter was our server, and he was great. Very friendly and attentive. We had a toddler in our group, and he doted on her and made sure we got her food right away. The food was very good, reasonably priced, and came in big portions. The menu has something for everyone. Also, this restaurant is on the quieter end of Ocean Dr, so you can enjoy your meal without worrying if someone's going to twerk in your face while you eat. I'll probably be bringing any guests here when they want a SoBe din din. read more

Ordered some spicy margaritas. I think the bartender forgot to add alcohol. Jalapeños/ Serrano peppers , salt rim was definitely missing. It was just plain lemon juice. I cannot explain how bad the drinks were and they were super pricey! Please save your money and your mood ‍ read more

BE CAREFUL! The server showed me the cost of my bill ($88.67) on her handheld device, then quickly added herself an extra $10 tip before charging my card (my bill already had a 20% tip included). I caught this sneaky overage through my bank notification before walking away. When I called the server out on this, she played dumb, pulled $10 cash out of her pocket, and sent me on my way. Shady! I'm gonna bet I'm not the first one... read more

Came here for lunch while on vacation, and we opted to go here based on the specials. The customer service here was very good but they stated they'd bring me new ones. Unfortunately, those too had feathers on them. & I was charged for both orders The chicken wings were lacking flavor but full of feathers ! 1/10 The calamari was okay but nothing to call home about 6/10 French fries were probably the best thing Alfredo tasted like butter not any type of Parmesan or Romano cheese 3/10 I would return but possibly with outdoor seating as the flies were abundant indoors, read more

Service and food quality were just okay, nothing special. Drinks are expensive and weak. 20% added/mandatory gratuity is standard in South Beach. If you sit on the sidewalk tables be prepared to be harassed by panhandlers. read more

The food was very bland. Chicken in the quesadillas was very dried out and freezer burnt. Hamburger was also ok but a little over cooked

You know how everybody tells you .. don't go to any of the restaurants on Ocean Drive because they are all overpriced, cheap quality & bad service ? Well none of that is true here. My eggs Benedict was everything I was looking for in quality & taste and then some ! On top of that only $12.00 ! Unheard of when it comes to Miami Beach restaurants. The service is also stellar! I sat inside because I had been walking for an hour and needed to bring my body temperature back down to a normal level. I'm still enjoying my eggs Benedict ... and I couldn't be happier !! ! Beaming from ear to ear ..., I wholeheartedly recommend this place and their spot on fantastic servers! read more

Coming here was a complete random decision fueled by the opportunity for free shots. Someone stopped us down offering free shots with the only contingency being that we order food. I am not one to turn down free shots, however I was disappointed by the quality of the free shots. Genius move on their part, but I realize why this was the method they used once we actually ordered our food. The food was decent, it hit the spot that was there, but this was also my first time experiencing tuna tartare and at first I was very impressed by it. Since then, I have tried tuna tartare that was much better executed flavor wise. The wings were nothing to cry over, and as mentioned they hit the spot. This is located in the same location where the movie "The Birdcage" was filmed and that is great for tourism! I most likely will not come here because of that novelty, and because it is a tourist spot the prices were exorbitant. It was great for a one time food stop if that is what you are interested in, but I am positive that there are more authentic Miami experiences that you can explore and enjoy. read more

It's honestly okay. We stopped in here for drinks and lunch while exploring. The service was fine, ambiance was social but the food was just meh. The drinks were large and strong. I would probably just put this place on my list for drinks in the future read more

Where to begin.... The service was absolutely terrible. Went without drinks for a solid twenty minutes. Unfortunately- We had to stop and ask for simple refills. Food was good - once it arrived. Again. Terrible wait for food. It was Wednesday. The server did come by the table a total of three times. Two of those were requested. First for water as noted. The second after sitting twenty minutes once the meal was complete and I requested the check. The server was nowhere in sight during this time. Did I mention there was a mandated 20% service charge? If the service would have even been mediocre - sure. I understand tipping well as it's how people make money. Again. This was horrible. I do not recommend eating here at all. read more

Eugene is AMAZING! What a wonderful friendly guy!! Great atmosphere and great food and drink prices!

The food was decent. The drinks were delicious and made with an extra kick! Service was great considering it was a lot of us. I didn't like how they wouldn't split the check which caused one person to pay and we pay them. If I would have known I would have sat separately from the group. The ambiance was beautiful and it was close to our hotel. There was an awful smell inside the restaurant which made us choose outside. I think it was a bad mop. Overall I would go back 7/10. read more

Food, location, service - a winning combination for enjoying a lazy lunch by the beach. Fans with misters on the patio help to ease the heat. Definitely recommend catching happy hour with very reasonably priced appetizers, pizza, beer, and cocktails. We'd recommend the Blue Ocean cocktail. Rory did a great job taking care of us! read more

It's a trap. They surcharged 20% service charge per person after we split the bill. The food was merely 25$ and we ended up paying 45$ for nothing. No actual bill was show. To us. Absolutely terrible. read more

We came here for lunch. We were able to be seated right away without a wait. The whole vibe a little over the top with jumbo drinks and bright colors. The service was professional.

All the dishes were huge amount of food. Overall a good option for beach lunch. read more
