The Squirrel Cage
When The Squirrel Cage opened in July of 2012, thunderstorms threatened to dampen its joyful debut. Yet not even the darkest, angriest cloud could obscure the bright atmosphere of the restaurant's facade, lined by clusters of palm fronds that evoke the sun-soaked patios of California. That sense of warmth continues inside, where an eclectic lineup of soothing tunes—particularly classic jazz—scores lunchtime meals of paninis filled with everything from cheddar and jalapeno to medleys of smoked salmon, cream cheese, and dill.
On weekends, The Squirrel Cage's cooks showcase creative riffs on brunch classics, including grilled french toast dipped in pancake batter and topped with house-made Bailey's whipped cream. For more hairs of the dog, a selection of beer and wine complement meals, along with jolts of caffeine via tea or coffee, espressos, and lattes. Along with everyday meals, The Squirrel Cage hosts plenty of community events, including showcases for local artists.
