Below average food. Overpriced. The website tells you nothing. Mid entertainment and service. The management is not great. Do not go there. There are better places.

I rarely leave reviews, but what happened at SAX Restaurant & Lounge on New Year’s Eve deserves to be called out. Posh advertised the NYE event as having FREE tickets — no fine print, no conditions, no warnings. The site looked polished and professional, so we trusted it and made plans around that information. When we arrived, dressed up and ready to celebrate, we were suddenly told at the door that we had to pay $60 per person to get in. That is the definition of false advertising. We showed the staff the website. They didn’t deny what it said — they just insisted we had to pay anyway. At that point you’re already there, it’s New Year’s Eve, and your options are either cough up the money or have your night completely ruined. That’s not a mistake — that’s a scam. To be clear: no hate to the security guards. They were polite and were clearly just following instructions. This is a management problem. Someone made the decision to mislead customers online and then pressure them at the door when it was too late to go elsewhere. If you advertise free tickets, they should be free. Not “free until you show up and then we charge you.” Extremely disappointing and dishonest business practice. I won’t be returning, and I strongly recommend others think twice before trusting what this venue advertises.

Attended the Christmas burlesque show last week and thought it was excellent. The performers were fun, festive, and talented. It a great holiday experience overall.
Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the service. I paid extra for upgraded seating, but our server never came by to take our drink order, even though every table around us was being served. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited, expecting someone to check in but that never happened.
During the intermission, we went to the bar ourselves but the service there was slow there too. By the time I reached the bar, staff were already telling us to return to our seats for the show to restart. Frustrated, I let somebody know we had yet to be served at our table and thankfully I did manage to get a drink at that point at the bar but it felt like more effort than it should have been.
Later the server finally came by and I let her know my disappointment. I asked her to please stay on top of our drinks moving forward, mentioning that I like to have my next drink before I finish the current one. She acknowledged but we never saw her again.
At the end of the show, when shots were being handed out to the audience, our table was completely missed. I had to flag someone down to make sure we received ours. We did get them, and they were good but again, we would’ve been skipped if I hadn’t spoken up.
At the end, my friend and I only had one drink each the entire time. That’s a missed opportunity for the establishment because the drinks are $25 after tip and we absolutely would’ve ordered more if we’d had the chance.
Besides the service issues, I’d still recommend the Christmas burlesque show for the performance itself which was really enjoyable. But for the price of the ticket and the expectation of table service, I hope they improve the overall experience. A show like this deserves service to match.

5 stars for a good night with lots people having fun. 1 star for the unnecessarily rude security employees, especially the one in the picture that was mistreating everyone at the door and practically pushing us outside when it was obvious that there was a crowd waiting for Uber because it was ice cold and raining outside.

This was amazing!!! You should come and see their burlesque show. Outstanding with talented performers, incredible music, for men and women. Be sure to check out their Christmas spectacular. Plus Natasha and Sara, bartender and server…can’t beat the evening out!

The Chris Brown Breezy Bowl Afterparty was everything. It was a movie. A DJ, Female Entertainment, Lights, Liquor and celebrities Oh My! Such an amazing night. Security was on point and everything ran smoothly. A great lounge to dance or buy a section to enjoy any special occasion with family and friends.
Had the pleasure to have my bachelorette party there and BABY, did not want to leave. Loved and enjoyed every moment. Definitely coming back to celebrate birthdays.

What a showstopper of a night—between the live entertainment and the creative cocktails, there’s never a dull moment. The ornate decor and lively cabaret vibe make every visit feel like a special occasion. It’s the kind of spot you’ll be talking about long after you leave.
