    Food was way too expensive for the value. Will not be going back. It is a shame because the magic was really fun. Definitely felt over charged. Should sell tickets for the magic if you need the money for the acts instead of over charging and making customers eat entrees/steaks they may not want.

    Overall, the experience is not what it is marketed or described as on their website. It was just the short little magic/comedy show in the larger stage room right after dinner, and 2 tables of close up magic with one of those not active, no magician at the table and the other one to crowded with the same guests sitting there versus moving on. They should monitor this more carefully. So our experience was eating dinner with food that was fine. Over dressed and very oily beet and arugula salad, ad both fish dishes good. Cocktails are good but this is less of an experience where you can walk around and see many different tables of close up magic with a main large show and more of dinner, then shuffled into a short and cute magic show but nothing super amazing, and then u leave as there us nothing else to see. Either we went on an off night or they have changed the originally intended concept that they still describe as current but it is not.

    What a cool experience! The place is below the Johnny Cash Museum and it has a speak-easy vibe. The food is gourmet level and the service was incredible. The magician entertainment was something you don’t see every day.

    Your menu is far too limited! Your bass was fishy. There are too many people in your establishment and the noise lever is so loud that talk at the dinner table is impossible! There is also a problem hearing your magicians speaking!

    Mark put on a great performance! The 8:15 show timing gave us enough time to enjoy our great meal with a 6pm seating time. Definitely recommend!
