SAX adds to performance dinner scene

The owners of Sei and Oya, two trendy Penn Quarter restaurants, are opening a third in the old Posh space on 11th Street (734 11th Street N.W.).

If you've been to Oya and SEI, you know that these restaurants are known for their interesting spaces, and this new restaurant--called SAX--will be no different.

The restaurant will be defined by marble columns, gold frames, and velvet.  There is a stage--yes, a stage--with a one way mirror reflecting another mirror, so the stage looks like it goes on forever, the Washington Post reports.

What's the stage for?  An in-house dance troupe that will perform for dinner patrons. 

The menu will be prix fixe, but will escalate in price depending on where you sit, starting at $50 per person.

They will also have the largest collection of Champagne and sparkling wine in the D.C. area.

Their official website says they are opening in Spring 2011 - and that is soon!  Though the weather today may have you thinking otherwise.

We should have more pictures for you next week.
