The place is amazing , huge & has a good vibe. Was here last month with my team for drinks & some of us ordered food later. I was halfway thru my food & the server came back with the bill. I did not like this at all. She never came in between to check in if I needed anything. My purse was on the other table & I had to struggle to get up in between & then pay. I purposely did not tip & she flashes the money in my face asking'is that it?' I said yes.
Left my food half eaten.
I find the portions to be quite small for the prices they charge. The soup was around 13$ & the wings were 18$ for 10 pieces. The drink was also around 13$ which made the total quite expensive for the small portion. I do like that they have different discount offers on a daily basis if you are part of their La Cage membership which is great. For Thursday, I got the wings half off & which made the meal a lot more enjoyable. The food itself was tasty. I do feel like most of the items were a bit too salty though. The sauce for the wings was sweet & complemented the wings pretty well. The service was nice & polite but I felt like we were not really welcomed. The waiters would avoid looking at our table most of the times & they would keep cleaning our table off even though we haven't finished eating yet. They would also hand us some receipts while others were still eating which made those that were still eating feel a bit rushed & uncomfortable. The atmosphere was mostly enjoyable but the later it gets, the noisier it becomes as well which makes it a bit hard to talk. The tables are pretty far apart though so there is a decent level of privacy.
-Service was meh , had to ask for everything. Orders, refills, napkins water etc...
-food & drinks were terribly over priced & sub par, beer 11.50/pint for domestic
-nachos were $25 dollars & pretty much a plate of chips with veggies thrown over them .
- better off going to McDonald's across the street, best part was the popcorn they gave us when we sat down
- had chicken tenders that were more like soggy chewy chicken strips.
- $6 extra for sweet potatoe fries
We made reservations for 4 adults & 2 kids, to celebrate twins 13th birthday. Their request, as they wanted to enjoy dinner & watch the basketball game on the big screen. We arrived & were seated at a nice large table with 6 bar stool chairs. We ordered drinks & were served such & then ordered appetizers & main dishes. About 15-20 min later, we were informed that we had to change tables, as'this is a bar & our kids were under age.' We were told by 2-3 different girls, that we'd have to move & were being put into a small u shaped corner booth, about 15 ft away. The girls said to not take our empty plates. Clearly not my job to move empty serving plates. We 6 squeezed into the booth they had prepared for us, but with only 5 serving utensils. Within minutes, all our appetizers & main dishes were brought by at least 3 ppl. We were overwhelmed with about 9 dishes on a small table surface all at once, with no help in making space, just plates hurriedly pushed in our direction. The food was average. My grandson who ordered pizza, had about 4 pieces leftover which he wanted to take home so we asked for a box. A small 3 inch square (like for french fries) was given & I said,'you want him to put all his pieces into that small box?' The waitress said , she had nothing larger, so she would bring a couple more boxes. Nice, smashing & folding pieces of pizza, on top of one another, to fit. Hard closing the top. My other grandson needed a box for his left over meat & fries & my son needed a box for his leftover salad. We left with 3 jammed, 3 inch boxes. We asked for coffee, but it was brought COLD. We returned it to the waitress & yet, she soon brought the bill charging for the cold coffee. We told her & she said she would redo the bill without coffee. Our tip reflected the very poor service, & the lack of making our family feel welcomed. We mentioned 2-3 times that we were there to celebrate special birthdays, yet the whole situation felt more like a disaster. When approached by the waitress & the young female'manager' as to why the poor tip, we explained that, if kids under the drinking age are not welcomed to dine in their restaurant, why take a reservation for a family party? We were seated by the employee. Why have kids meals on the menu, if kids are not made to feel welcomed? What is the difference between two tables when they are literally 15 ft away from one another? Why bring appetizers & main dishes at the same time? It just felt like they wanted to get us in & out as quickly as possible. I told them that we would never come back. There are many good restaurants in the area, & prefer to go somewhere where we are treated with respect, kindness & professionalism. We were extremely disappointed by this experience & upset that what could have been very fun happy celebration, turned into such a miserable experience. This is NOT a family friendly restaurant.
Glad we gave it another chance.
Different staff, Different manager (girl with dark long hair & sneakers.
We did not have a reservation & showed up asking for a booth (we were 5) with my elder mother who cannot sit on stools & cannot go up the flight of stairs.
She managed to move a reservation & accommodated us with a booth. Thank you so so much.
It was my sons birthday & was somewhat of a special occasion (18).
They gave us a booth & we were able to have a nice birthday supper.
Waitress (not sure what her name was. African American, super nice & thoughtful. Went above & beyond to make sure we were happy & had everything we needed.
Asked her to try & have the baseball game on the big screen at our booth instead of the hockey game & she was able to accommodate the request. Food was good. Burgers were (according to my husband & son) exceptional & appetizer was really good as well. Drinks were well prepared & we really enjoyed our night. Thank you so much for the great service. We will be back.
**Edit**
What a difference a year makes.
Very rude staff including the manager or whoever that older balding guy is at the door. Was not friendly or accommodating whatsoever. We left. We went to the one on Decarie. We had an amazing time there & will not be coming back to the VSL location eventhough we live 3 minutes away.
Came to La Cage on a Saturday for drinks, food & a hockey game. Unbelievable atmosphere that makes a hockey more enjoyable. Nachos are a great starter & a good portion. Add bbq chicken with grilled onions to make it even better. 8.9/10. For the main dish, I had the duo salmon & beef tartare. Both were great but the beef was better. Amazing flavors. 9.1/10. I give an overall experience of 9.5/10
Great food, Great service, Greater atmosphere. The Bar is unique & posses a huge variety of alcoholic drinks. The menu consists of many different cuisine for all sorts of taste. & there's a lot of screens & private tables where one can happily enjoy their time.
It's a nice place with a good atmosphere, & normally, the service is great. However, my last visit, on Halloween night, was an exception. The staff was in costume, which added a fun touch, & the mood was lovely. Unfortunately, the meal didn't go smoothly. My dish didn't arrive all together as it normally does-the salad, which usually comes on the same plate, was brought separately later on, likely due to some mix-up in the kitchen. Although our order was placed first, it took a long time to arrive, & the server seemed a bit concerned about the delay. When it finally came, the server apologized, but the issue really came from the kitchen, & the food just didn't taste good. The person who served us did help improve things by arranging a discount on my dish since it didn't meet my expectations-it wasn't tasty at all & it took such a long time to arrive. Even when the discount was appreciated, the main point was to enjoy the food. Nonetheless, the gesture was thoughtful 🙏 We enjoyed some delicious drinks 👌
