Fun, lively brunch experience. Food is not the best, came to us cold and moderately tasty. The omelette and waffle stations were the tastier options. However the atmosphere and music created a good ambiance. I wouldn’t go again because the food wasn’t good but I did enjoy my time there.

Everyone was so niceeeew! The DJ Big Sipp had everyone engaged and the vibes were FIRE. Our server Kiki was so attentive and made sure the mimosas kept flowing! Mac who runs the hookah made sure it was perfect. I never have a complaint about Air.

Not sure how it's got 4+ stars. The food not prepared fresh. Never been to a restaurant where you had to pay up front, $145 for 2 people. Service non existent but we're forced to pay service charge. The culture should demand better service. Couldn't take it, the rudeness of the egg station by what looked to be hispanic man. Very loud. At one point we asked for the speakers near us to be lowered but instead were boosted up. There are far better options in DC.

Food: Decent. Nothing too exciting at all. Very average Drinks: Over priced for the quality. I'm fine with paying 20+ for a drink if it's made well. This was just average as well. Service: HELL No, never again will I ever visit or recommend this place. We went for the Friday 2 for 1 $40 deal. Yes, the one prominently displayed on their website. We made a reservation and showed up at the appropriate time. Service was very slow... Friendly, but very slow. At check out, we reminded the server of the deal and yet it was still on the check. We were told to speak with the hostess, who wanted to see our reservation and then the email we received inviting us to take advantage of the special.... THEN we were told that the special wasn't in their system yet it's displayed prominently on the website and by email...ok! Then they "somehow" figured out a way to appropriately charge for the deal BUT continued to try and sneak in extra charges and gratuity (on top of the automatic 20%) BUT AFTER the bill was paid, they tried to sneak in the 3 BOGO items at $40 while removing an item with the hopes that we didn't notice the extra $88 that magically appeared after the "final" bill was delivered. It was such a frustrating and horribly poor experience. I hate when people try to take advantage of others and this was a very clear example of that. I can only imagine how often they get away with these tactics, but not with this one! My advice....Stay away... There are plenty of other places in DC to catch a vibe without the potential of catching a case.

I've only been here on Fridays at dinner with the live performances and the food is good and I like the overall ambiance, but the service is really, really bad. Each time I go, it gets worse.

The security guard outside was holy inappropriate with his scanning.. The waiters didn’t come to us until 30 minutes after we were seated and we had a reservation.

My experience on Mother’s Day as a mom of 2 who wanted to get out and enjoy this lovely holiday , it was a disaster . It started of cool we booked our reservation for 4 pm arrived at 405 due to parking we got sat down , waited like 5 minutes for our waitress no biggie because we just arrived , she finally came glasses short black one piece short set with a natural slick back puff ball and fur boots. Upon talking and getting our order she was talking to me more than my friend even tho she was taking both or orders that was a first sign of bad service , so my friend said she had a little encounter with her when she went to grab her plate from up stairs after we went to the waffle station and she was being very uptight about my friend order being corrected we asked for no pork and beef and she still brought it to us second bad encounter because when my friend spotted it out she caught a attitude but baby we have terrible bellies if we ate that we would’ve been sick , so next we eat and forget everything that happened and after asked can we step out to smoke on the roof top she said yes baby go head mind u it’s 5:10 at this time so we do smoke come back why our table was giving up after we personally ASKED her !!! It’s 522 at this point and our reservations our supposed to last 2 hours but it wasn’t because she gave our table up !!! And knew wasn’t done we only had one round of everything after we paid 80 dollars a peice to enjoy bottomless brunch and mimosa we were so hurt and embarrassed to the point we went home and cried and will be posting a story time on TikTok with our 10k followers . You never know who u will walk into in these buisness , and yesterday our special day was embarrassing , horrible , heart breaking , and overwhelming the waitress was yelling at us calling us liars saying we never told her but them cameras can defiantly show her come to our table before we walked outside , I’m coming for her job
