    This was our first time going to House of Cards. Overall, it was a great experience. I gave the food 4 stars because the side dishes were lacking flavor. However, we all enjoyed our main courses. The magic shows were amazing!

    We have been to House of Cards once before this visit. Each time we have enjoyed the musicians and found something new that we had not seen before. We changed up what we had to eat and the food was again excellent. We were visited by the GM during our dinner to see if we were ok and that was a very nice touch. Overall will come back again for a third time.

    It’s a themed experience which is a great time . Plan on staying there awhile because they do have magicians performing for you and a mind reader who does a live show and it’s so cool! The food is very expensive and a la cart but I enjoyed it!

    2nd time at House of Cards and it did not disappoint. Our server Matthew was outstanding, guiding us from start to finish throughout the entire experience. We greatly appreciated his insight on our tour around the museum as well as helping us navigate the menu. He gave us a few laughs as well from some creative, witty comments. We ended up staying for a couple of hours even after the show, wandering around the restaurant and enjoying the side bar magicians. All in all excellent experience and my family had an amazing time for their first House of Cards night. Thank you!

    Great overall experience Good was late to table and no steak knives provided until requested, felt rushed to enjoy the full entertainment experience because not allowed to leave table until meal is done, which would have been fine if food delivery did not take so long. Magicians are amazing!!!

    Enough cannot be said. When we have visitors from out of town, we always get here to show them a great time. Everyone has loved it. My husband and I have been here 3 times and love it every time. The food is amazing and the entertainment is astonishing. Definitely a must when visiting Nashville.

    We came to celebrate a birthday and had an amazing experience. Upon arriving, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff, and given a tour of the restaurant. Our server, Brandon was exceedingly kind and helpful. His recommendations were spot on and his knowledge of the menu was exceptional. Everything we ordered was delicious. The ambience was incredible and like no other restaurant you will visit. After dinner, the shows were mind blowing and left us in disbelief of what was happening before our eyes. Overall, we could not have asked for a better birthday celebration. We would highly recommend House of Cards to those visiting Nashville and locals alike. Again, thank you so much Brandon for making sure our experience was out of this world.

    We attended the Sunday brunch for my son’s 16th birthday. We had heard about it but never attended. It was a fun experience. Sunday is for the 21 and under crowd so be prepared for possible groups of children. The staff was very kind and accommodating. The magic was great. We didn’t have cash with us to tip the magicians, note for next time. The food was really good. Amazing biscuits! The buffet area got a little disheveled after awhile but there were a lot of people eating. We lived the picture. We would go again.

    This was our second trip, our first time with kids. I will tell anyone that is thinking about going then you should! It's a great time. The only negatives were the service was slower this time even though it was less crowded and there were adults in blue jeans. Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal, but if you're going to make a rule it should be enforced.

    Great special night out for us with another couple. Shared the seafood tower special for appetizer which was awesome. Had Chilean sea bass special which included 2 large scallops and it was delicious! Magicians were outstanding! Great atmosphere. Loved the formal dress. Only wish food service would have been slower so we could have savored the courses more. Would recommend an earlier reservation (ours was 7:15) to give us more time before the 8:45 Magic show in the Theater. Would definitely come back again!

    As always, an incredible evening of magic. The food at House Of Cards is always top-notch. The Kobe A5 steak is out of this world and there’s nothing to compare to in Nashville. This is a place where you should take someone you really want to impress. There’s nothing else like it in the world.

    I thought the food was delicious, but the service was only okay. My drink was empty for a while, and he never asked us if we wanted dessert. I think it was because we were one of the last tables of the night. Maybe service is better earlier on in the day than a 9:00 reservation?

    This was such a fun experience. The food and service were great. We were there for Sunday brunch and the buffet has quite a variety on it and the seafood tasted fresh. We only got to see one of the magicians inside the restaurant (our fault, not the venue), and he was very good and fun to watch. He really catered to the kids and made it fun for them. The main event was also a lot of fun. "Alan the Great" really interacted with the audience making the experience so much more. Would definitely go back.
