    We had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed our whole evening at House of Cards! The food was fabulous and the cost of your meal covers all the shows and experiences. Definitely worth it in every way. Be prepared to dress nicely and take your time. One of the highlights of our time in Nashville.

    Awesome night. My wife and I were celebrating our 20th wedding Anniversary. Food was excellent. The Magic was incredible. The only thing I wish was a little different was that the actual magic show in the show room was longer. The magician was very good but it was only 20 minutes. I was expecting that show to be 34 to 60 minutes. But, the night and atmosphere was absolutely awesome. We will definitely go back.

    HoC was the perfect choice for a girls night! The cocktails were excellent, the food was incredibly good, and I can't compliment the staff highly enough. What really made the night, though, was the atmosphere. From the host upstairs at the entry to the curtained walls and antique playing cards on display, it was like stepping into another world! We'll definitely be back!

    House of CardsResponded 6 days agoWe look forward to welcoming you back!

    An amazing experience worth every penny! The waiter Brandon was outstanding and the card tricks were top notch. I have a few good tricks myself but these were grade A experts. I also found the historic playing cards framed throughout the restaurant to be very cool. Plan on opening your wallet and staying for a while as the atmosphere is awesome.

    We went for Sunday brunch as a family (me, husband, two teenaged kids). The ambience was such a cool vibe- walking down a "secret" staircase into the restaurant was fun. Then a complimentary picture was taken- very cute. Food was a buffet and it was great- I love some crab legs. Service was great (after a little delay). The ticketed magic show was fun, but the up-close magic was the best! The magician was engaging and entertaining. I wish I could remember his name. Overall, such a fun experience!

    We took our four children to the Sunday Bruch and had a wonderful experience! The kids enjoyed the "speakeasy" feel and the buffet was absolutely incredible! It tasted wonderful and was also so beautifully displayed. We really enjoyed our server, Emma. She was very attentive and made our experience all the more wonderful. The magicians were wonderful and so kid-friendly. We have already recommended it to so many friends!

    The incredible experience from the secret entrance, through the long tunnel to the speakeasy vibe and amazing decorated dining room and bar, the entire experience is so unique and amazing. Then the menu and incredible quality take it to the next level. All other steaks are ruined on me after this experience. Matthew was our server and was an amazing navigator for us through the extensive gastronomical journey. The drinks were superb and the magician experiences were both entertaining and astounding. This was an incomparable experience and one that is worth the price and then some!

The service was perfect, our server JD was knowledgeable and helped us to craft our delicious dinner options. The entertainment was quality, we even got to be a part of the magic show! Pricier than we are normally accustomed to but it was worth EVERY penny! We Will remember our visit for some time to come.

    Took my husband here for a birthday mystery trip. (He had no idea what we were doing). It was a big success. Fantastic, unusual ambience. Love the dimness, the beautiful posters, framed antique cards, and magic ephemera. Service was warm and thoughtful w/o being obsequious and everything about the course and pacing of the evening was explained w/o our having to ask. Food was great, if heavy on salt. Husband's wine and my mocktail were perfect. Portions were generous (we ordered too much; our server boxed up the leftovers for us w/o our having to ask, and arranged to have it left by the door for pickup later. Again, HOC service anticipates guests' needs, which made us feel a bit more special than we really are.) Our reservation was for 6 p.m. and we were concerned because the magic show wasn't until 8:30 but it all worked out. After dessert (a gratis piece of cake with a candle and the Happy Birthday song played by a ghost), we wandered to a corner for an intimate card magic show with the fantastic Kevin King who's as much comedians as magician. The main show was delightful. (I'm forgetting the artist's name but he was young and funny and ... well, I don't know how he did what he did...) There's a strict dress code and we loved getting out of our sweats for once. Parking was validated. I've never spent more for a night out, but it was worth it. Husband was thrilled.
