    My family has a great birthday brunch experience and the magic was great! The close-up magic was especially fun to watch and the whole experience was very entertaining.

    We had Eric as our Bartender and he was absolutely amazing. He was actively involved with my husband and I to make sure we had a great experience. We sat at the bar, of course, and he gave us a beautiful rundown of the menu(with his recommendations!), the restaurants background, and the surrounding magicians! He never strayed too far away, always kept our glasses full, and even brought a tray of desserts for us to pick from! The dark and mysterious ambiance brought me back in time and I felt like a movie star waiting for the next show! Not to mention how there wasn’t a single phone out in sight! The night was amazing and I can only thank the staff and magicians constantly keeping us entertained and comfortable! I definitely recommend!

    Such a fun and unique experience. Mateline, our server, was simply outstanding. I'm especially happy about the enforced dress code. I'm so tired of trying to go out for a fancy dinner only to have other customers show up in shorts and sandals. Kitchen and bar staff are on point. Everything came out perfectly cooked, and the drinks were amazing. Highly recommend this place.

    This was my first visit. I chose this for a date night. We were welcomed in and given a tour of the venue. The atmosphere and ambiance were impeccable. We started with cocktails. I had a Basil Hayden old fashioned, and my date had a Tito's greyhound. Both were fantastic. We had the steak tartare for an appetizer. It was delicious. I highly recommend it. For our entrees, we had the filet and the sea bass with duck fat fingerling potatoes and Brussel sprouts. All of those were fabulous. The steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The sea bass, served with grilled pineapple, was delicate, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The magic was all mind-blowing. The magicians were all top-notch. I won't tell you any more about that. Go experience it for yourself.

    We had the family brunch and the food was fantastic with plenty of options. Service was great and all the magicians were wonderful! We took our 3 teenage boys and we all really enjoyed it. Great family experience!

    We had a fun night at House of Cards. We all loved our dinner, our waiter Matthew was helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and steered us all in the right direction. The magic show had us both laughing and in awe!
