    House of Cards hosted us to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. The ambiance, quality, and flavor cannot be understated. The servers were knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu: from food to drinks and cigars. Dinner service was partnered with close-up magic tricks and a full magic performance. In addition, the restaurant’s photographer provides complimentary photos. The experience is not one to be forgotten, and it ranks highly among my favorite experiences in any restaurant or speakeasy.

    The experience at House of Cards was truly top shelf from start to finish. To say that you must add HOC to your 'Must-Visit' list would be an under statement. There's not a category we would change and not a moment we will forget. Thank you House of Cards. Thank you!

    Overall it was a good experience. The negatives involved the magic. One of the tableside magicians talked so low that people in the 2nd row couldn’t hear him. The main theater magician was obnoxious. I’ve been here several times and the magicians usually make the audience feel involved and happy. This one was rude and frankly offensive. If this had been my 1st experience I would not have returned.

    We were seated and took over 10 mins to be addressed by server. Main show was running behind and by the time we finished small room magicians had finished so we missed those shows.

    We went to House of Cards for my birthday. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The food is extremely expensive but I think some of that cost is to pay for the magician. My family ordered steaks and a filet mignon. They said it was very good. I ordered the butternut squash vegetarian dish. It was good but not my favorite vegetarian dish I have ever had. A bit too salty so I did not eat it all. We had a really good bottle of Cabernet red wine. All in all I think we paid $750 for 5 people so be prepared for that. The magician was pretty good as well. We had a wonderful night overall. Every staff member we spoke to was polite and friendly. The ambiance was nice as well.
