    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.

    The service was great, and they made our experience. It is expensive, but you receive a great experience and the portions are perfect. There is lots of magic and the main stage was a great experience.

    This place has a real cool concept. You truly do feel like you're headed to a secret space for just people "in the know" But there's the limit of my compliments. We had a 7:00 dinner reservation but we were told our tickets were for the 9:30 magic show. We were done eating at 7:45 and had to sit there for almost 2 hours to wait for a less-than-spectacular show than barely lasted 20 minutes. To me, that was simply a ploy to make you spend more money on drinks and desserts while you sat there watching your watch. And my steak? Horrible. Even if it was a great, tender cut of meat, it was way overpriced. $70 for an ala carte bad NY strip? That's highway robbery. I knew the prices were steep and I wouldn't have minded paying that much if it was a good cut. But it was so tough, I struggled to chew it. I've had way better steaks at an all-you-can-eat buffet. That's not saying much.

    My husband and I visited House of Cards for the first time for our anniversary. From the moment we entered until the time we left, everything and everyone was perfect. We felt right at home with the staff like we had been there a hundred times. We were greeted by our names and given a tour of the place. Our waiter was absolutely amazing. We felt like he was never more than just a few feet away. We greatly enjoyed the magic show and even participated in one of the acts. We will definitely return.

    The night was absolutely wonderful. We had a great server, delicious drinks (if they have the Black Magic when you go, GET it), wonderful food (the rack of lamb? to die for), and as always, the magic was top-notch. My date had never seen close-up magic in person before, so that was exceptionally fun! The ambience is romantic and cool. The dress code makes certain no one feels over or under dressed (which can make some people feel awkward about themselves, so that’s a big thumbs up from me). Overall it was, and don’t pardon my pun, a magical night and a fun experience.
