    We had an amazing time at House of Cards! Three of us had been before and for one it was their first time. All of us enjoyed the magic performed. We were truly amazed by the skilly they showed in their craft. We were able to have an intimate setting with the magicians in the main restaurant as well as great seats for the main performance. The food was delicious. We had a filet, the rack of lamb and the bone in ribeye. To start, we had the burrata and the scallops. For sides we had the macaroni and cheese, brussel sprouts and the whipped potatoes We had the Mollydooker Shiraz with the meal which was outstanding. We had the Aristocrat cocktails and espresso martinis. For dessert, we shared the lemon cake, cheesecake and chocolate cake. Everything we had was impeccably prepared. We had a black pepper demi-glaze on the ribeye which was fantastic. Our incredible server, Brandon, could not have been nicer, more entertaining, and knowledgeable. He guided us skillfully throughout our dining experience. His assistant Akeen was quite skilled with his service as well and impressed us all each time he refilled our water glasses. I would definitely recommend House of Cards!

    Overpriced and overhyped. The worst money I’ve ever spent on a meal. Don’t waste your time or money on this place. One of the worst culinary experiences ever! Food was bland, tasteless, and unimaginative. Service was awful. If you require a blazer and fancy dresses for admission, then your food better be great—it was not even good. It was terrible. The only taste you will leave here with is lingering disappointment.

    The food was awesome, the service was great, and the magic shows were top notch too! The place is really well run and well worth the money. We loved everything about our experience and can’t wait to go back and take our kids for brunch!

    Hi All, In short, we had a ✨magical✨ time at House of Cards. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that the elk, filet, broccolini, asparagus, and the panzanella salad we ordered practically ✨disappeared✨. Honorable mention to Brendan, our 10/10 server. Bravo HOC 🎩 🐇 🪄 Yours truly, Matt

    Great experience and would highly recommend for a special occasion. It has the Speakeasy vibe. We ordered a Porterhouse steak which was perfectly cooked - very tender. We shared the steak with a side salad and baked potato. The service was great as well - very friendly team.
