    I can’t remember out server’s name but she had a short blonde cut and had glasses. She was AWESOME. I made sure to tip extra on top of the already included gratuity because she earned it. The manager Lisa was also very nice and welcoming. Overall I’m rating a 3 out of 5. The service was Great but the food wasn’t good. If they can get a good chef in there this place will be 5 stars in my book. A party of 10 and we ordered burgers, chicken wings, chicken & waffle, jerk wings/fries, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, & lamb chops. Collectively nobody was even a little satisfied with their food. The burger was bland, chicken must’ve been fried in old grease, grits were thick and hard, overall the food was just not hitting. This place will continue to be great. I just want the food to be more appetizing. I waited all day to eat 😩

    Our server and overall staff were very nice and welcoming. Food wasn’t great for the price, felt like it was all over the place for it to be “brunch” food

    Me and my husband came when Jeezy was hosting a party here. I initially tried to book the “Jeezy Experience” but was given a technical error prompt. I reach out to the lounge and they advise me to book a regular reservation. I do so for 11 pm. We get there and check in & the hostess tells me that it’s 2 parties ahead of me. I’m like how if we have a scheduled reservation?? We go to the bar and get some drinks. I check back in with the hostess an hour later and she now says it’s 3 parties ahead of me ?????? I’m not even sure how that’s possible. I wasn’t really too upset because we really only came to see Jeezy. When he left , we left. He was only there for maybe an 1.5 hour max. But I don’t care if the president is in the building … my reservation should be honored. I come here often and have never had an issue like this. The food is decent. But just be mindful of this if you happen to come on a “special” night. I guess it’s better if you buy a section with bottle service but I’m not buying a section with just me and my husband.

    I understand D.C. has a rat problem; however, a customer should never see a trap with rodents on there during business hours. We didn't get seated until almost an hour after our reservation. The food was okay. The rat thing ruined the "Air Experience" for me.

    I had reservations for 3pm once I arrived the hostess outside said no one could enter until some people leave. I stood outside for an hour in 90 degree weather with cupcakes because it was my birthday. The hostess kept letting smaller parties in and kept putting me off with my party of 7. Once we made it inside there were no available tables. They had us go up and downstairs twice. I kept asking the hostess for a table and she kept telling me there was no where to sit. My mom came out to enjoy my day who has had a knee replacement was doing all this walking and it was too much. I asked for a manager because at this point another half hour has passed. I was sent to the VIP room on the bottom level not knowing it was the hookah room. No one asked me if I minded the smoke it was so hot in the VIP room. Once I refused to sit in there the manager came over and found us a table. I had a really nice waitress. But for the price and the first time experience the overall experience was awful.

    The waitress dropped an entire mimosa pitcher on my lap, I was soaked, they offered me a Clorox wipe and a shot to make up for it. I had to fight with them to get the bill compensated

    The waitress was nice and very helpful. We were seated swiftly, however, the food wasn’t as good as I’d expected it to be. Some items were cold and sort of bland however, the waffle and omelette station made that a bit easier to deal with. Great place for a party vibe though!

    Way too loud for my liking. Was yelling at one another to have a conversation and still could barely hear. Drinks were all alcohol no flavor to them so we opted for wine instead. Food was decent. Shrimp and grits would have been better if they were hot…barely warm grits…got hard real fast. My friend had twin lobster tails…enjoyed them…said they were cooked perfect. I had greater expectations based on recommendations…so a bit disappointing but ok.

    When I tell you I had the most fun at BRUNCH!!!! Is an understatement. Air gives so much vibes. I love how their waitresses are free to have their personality flow through and can be their natural selves. The food was AMAZING the Waffle was soooo delicious. All staff was very respectful fun and full of energy. Our Waitress was beyond amazing, we did not have to look for her, she kept the mimosas coming and she just gave great vibes. The DJ... They must've picked the best DJ they could find. This DJ played EVERY HIT from 1990's on up!!!! It was hit after hit after hit... It was so fun we barely ate because we were dancing. Whoever is reading this DO NOT change management... whoever is running the show behind the scenes deserves an award. AIR is a vibe every time I go

    For the love of god and everything that is holy please do not go here for brunch. $71 for bottomless mimosas, loud music and food that was cooked 7 hours ago. You see that small brown hockey puck that on the plate in the picture.. that was the steak. They really trick you by making you pay BEFORE you get the food. Obviously no one in there right mind would pay for food like this willingly. So just save yourself the headache and go somewhere else ALSO if you aren't buying the $71 dollar brunch service you have to leave just a fyi
