    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.

    This is in regards to the Nashville, TN location: Everything was as it should be! Patrons followed the dress code, staff was engaging but “invisible” when they should be and the drinks and food were spot on. My husband ordered a Jack n Coke and I ordered a Raspberry Lemondrop, (some bars say they can’t make these 🤷🏼‍♀️) it was yummy. My husband and I ordered steaks, NY Strip & Filet respectively, they were cooked exactly how we asked and were delicious without any of the accompaniments, and we shared a side of Mac n Cheese. We did not order dessert, but I saw some as they were carried to other tables that looked delicious. The magic shows were mystifying and the ambience was almost like being in the library of a manor house; think dark wood, deep red velvet curtains, bookcases, chandeliers. Photographs are not allowed past the Hostess stand. However, there is a roving photographer that will take your picture and put it in an event photo folder for a keepsake. All in all we were VERY pleased with the evening, have already encouraged others to go, and will definitely go back ourselves!!
