   House of Cards is one of those rare places that still believes in a bit of mystery and theater with dinner. Tucked beneath downtown Nashville, it feels like stepping into another time—dark, moody, and refreshingly well-dressed (and yes, the dress code is real, and yes, it’s a nice change). Dinner was well done—nothing overwrought, just solid dishes prepared with care. The service was attentive without hovering, which is always appreciated. And the magic? Surprisingly impressive. Not flashy or over-the-top, just smart, classic sleight of hand that fits perfectly with the vibe. It’s an experience more than a meal, and a well-curated one at that. Perfect for a date night or if you’re entertaining guests who appreciate something a little unexpected. Just don’t forget to wear a jacket—and enjoy the fact that for once, everyone else is too.

   One of the most unique dining experiences I’ve had. Service is 10/10. You are greeted by charming Hosts, and brought on a tour by Martin which really sets a plan for the evening. Our server, Alex, was attentive and had wonderful recomendations, so glad he told us about the scallops. The server assistants were also so friendly and were diligently replenishing water cups, never saw the bottom of our glasses. The sign of a very good service staff. We also had the beef tartare, both apps were fantastic. My date ate the lamb, she loved it, I had a New York Strip with the bone marrow butter that Alex recommended, steak was very good but the butter was even better. The N/A Negroni was one of the best nonalcoholic mocktails I’ve ever tried. And for dessert their crème brûlée was a nice ending. All of the magicians were very funny and put on a wonderful show. Had the time of our lives. Thanks to all the staff at HoC for such a great evening!

   You feel like you're at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles in a more intimate family setting. Very friendly personalized service and top notch close up and main stage magicians. Sunday Brunch was amazing.

   You immediately feel speakeasy vibes. It’s dark and moody and the decor screams vintage luxury with many unique and unexpected details. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The service is fantastic! We sat at the bar and the bartenders, especially Matthew made our experience more special! Our appetizers and entrees were all delicious. Highly recommend visiting!!

    This is not only a place to get a great meal- but a overall experience. Loved the magician Dana! We had the burrata and a ribeye with the bone marrow- YUMMY! Service was great.
