"My friends and I were on vacation and were looking for trendy hot spots for dinning and entertainment. Xen Lounge was very lovely and a wonderful atmosphere. The overall experience was great. The night we attended was comedy night and it was indeed funny, There were some great celebrity comedians there that truly made everyone laugh and they too were also sociable."

"Overall I was expecting a more serene exhotic ambience.....hostess needs to be a bit more accomodating to customers especially first timers ....it was almost a push on the money aspect of the night than comming to dine and enjoy the place and entertainment .... BUT put all that aside Tisha and hubby was so down to earth and her performance was AWESOME!!!! And so was everyone else who performed ... It was worth the money .... I left knowing when I visit CA again I will make it a must go to for a hang out.....now I know what to expect....I believe with time it will get better....."

"Sexy atmosphere, mix of celebs and late-nighters. Love the DJ! Fab events during the week. Menu is good until you get to the end. The deserts are not good. The chocolate cake was dry, the chili Ice cream is nasty, the red velvet pudding is deceiving."

"Menu offered at the restaurant was different from what was offered on the website menue however everything we ordered was very good. Based on the website we expected to order the salmon, shrimp or chicken entres so we were a little disappointed we were unable to select any of those. The DJ was great, we enjoyed ourselves and will go again."

"We celebrated my birthday here and had a great time. From the moment we arrived we felt taken care of. Our server Jackie was one of the best waitresses I've ever had. Very attentive and she knew her stuff. One person in our party had a concern about a drink being too sweet and Jackie put her mind at rest by saying "try it and if you don't care for I'll get you something else, no problem." And that she did! All the food came out promptly and delish. Even a birthday song spun by the DJ and sparklers with 2 other servers! Very festive. The scene was quiet when we arrived but was hopping and vibrant when we finished. Had a great meal and a good time with friends. We all had awonderful time and will be back! The mac-n-cheese cupcakes are a must"

"Every time I have had the pleasure of visiting there has been some new, fun, and entertaining. Xen brings it every evening apparently. Any number of celebrities will mic in the crowd on any given night.
Tuesdays are open night and Tisha Tuesdays, Thursday is comedy night. It's always free to get in Xen, so come with an empty belly buy done food and support the establishment!
Xen is an A+"

"We went for a special event, Tuesdays with Tisha. Where else are you going to be able to see such phenomenal & often celebrity talent singing alongside a talented & phenomenal celebrity on her own, Tisha Campbell-Martin...in the Valley, at a quality venue, with a nice menu, no cover and complimentary valet?! Shut the front door! They also have a lovely outside patio that would make for great romantic outdoor dining...don't worry it won't get too chilly, they have heat lamps. It's also would make for a cool girls night out, with a nice cocktail list and a simple but good small plates menu. The RedVelvet Bread Pudding was pretty amazing! Overall just a darn good place if you're looking for a good time out."

"Burger was one of the best I've had in Hollywood. The music was surprisingly mellow and very good. Made the dining experience very pleasurable. I was happy to even be able to sit and enjoy the basketball game."

"Sorry, but this is such a "wanna-be in-place" with bad bartender, only 2 premium vodkas, wine list is embarrassing (plus 3 wines were not available), waitress knew nothing about food. Half empty on Valentine's Day dinner, so the word is getting out. It'll be gone within 12 months."
