Bitches Who BrunchNovember 16, 2016The Bitches say: A+ for the show; C for the food. Sir Sundays are a fun way to spend a Sunday, and great for birthday or bachelorette parties, but maybe load up on food beforehand. Read more
Kimberly Kates-BellNovember 17, 2017Best food I've ever eaten, ever. Prices are high but it's worth it. I don't like the mandatory minimums, actually, I hate it and think they're unnecessary. I had gastric bypass. Entertainment is boss.
Chris SalvatoreMarch 19, 2015Amazing decor, fun experience. Brunch is the way to go. Definately a must do for a special occasion. Skip the spicy Bloody Mary though- Maddie GrantFebruary 16, 2014Super sexy, fabulous setting. Great food. Romantic and a great place to take all your best friends. Amazing burlesque.
Dion BarelaJanuary 6, 2013Great music, awesome customer service, and very classy, sexy people in an exclusive setting. You couldn't ask for more since there is nothing else like it in DC.
Zein SamerSeptember 7, 2016The burlesque shows are amazing, the drinks are delicious & the overall atmosphere will keep you on your feet. Highly recommended!
LaLa BMay 16, 2011Great new hot spot in town, champagne & great food & burlesques/cabaret - can't go wrong - check out the murals along all three flights of stairs! Luv them so DC
Catia DaSilvaNovember 20, 2016Good place to go out with friends. It's not necessary family place, but can be a good night out!
Douglass L.October 25, 2014If you're looking a a dessert that's different(sweet,spicy), try the pear.
Lorayne ConstantOctober 17, 2022This place is fantastic. I have no words to describe how amazing it is.- Justin EsquivelSeptember 13, 2013Fantastic entertainment and atmosphere, beautiful classy dining. BUT beware food while not terrible is mediocre at best. Worth it for the entertainment alone.
Sip With SocialitesJuly 5, 2012‘Members Preferred’ DC Nightlife Venue. ‘The Privilege List’ launch party takes place July 11th. Who determines whether you are accepted or not, PR maven Erika Gutierrez.- Nessa TMay 3, 2012Try the Fresh Fruit Marnier - fresh cut seasonal fruit, Grand Marnier, creme fraiche, almond tuile
- Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 12, 2014The Bitches Say: C-. My stomach is still upset from SAX's food and the dancing. Winner of the Bitches' 2013 award for Worst Brunch!
CaraAugust 11, 2013Magnificent ambience, mediocre food. Sassy dancers, seasonless meat. Great customer service, poor plate presentation. Sexy, dim detail no matter the time of day just don't come hungry. Enjoy.
Behrad EatsJanuary 24, 2012Go there on Mondays for Burlesque Mondays, $39 prix fixe menu. Totally worth it.
Jennifer WrightJuly 15, 2013Some nights, when there isn't much of a crowd, they close early. Try not to get there too late!
SaxOctober 2, 2013Government shut down got you feeling blue? Mix things up with a Melange cocktail from one of our fabulous mixologists!
Arlene HerreraJuly 5, 2015Perfecto para el pre: cenita y show. Si quieren seguirla mejor vayan a otro lugar
