    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.

    It's hard to rate House of Cards. Love the ambiance and the magicians were awesome. The service was superb. Loved that we needed to be dressed up. The food was very good but not necessarily worth the price. Somehow I felt that the price was offsetting the cost of the show.

    I had the rack of lamb and loved it! We loved the magicians around the common space. I felt they were significantly better than the special one in the auditorium. I might not have bought an entree' just to see him as the others were so much better.

    Sat at bar with Riley and she was great. Had the Elk Rack and it was good but not great. Had 9:15 reservations and were to go to 11:30 show. Didn’t realize we were to wait that long for the show and we ended up leaving about 10:45. Small table card shows were good. Would go back again but plan on earlier show. When we made reservations, we did not realize we were gonna have to wait over two hours to see it.
