    It was our 5 year anniversary. We had an outstanding night. Entering the House of Cards felt mysterious and exciting. Inside the restaurant was very elegant. I love the old 20s look and feel. When we were seated our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. She also answered every question we had. Our food was phenomenal. We both had salads to start which were amazing. I had the American lamb and my wife had the NY strip steak and both were cooked to perfection. We both had the garlic mashed potatoes that were out of this world good. To top off the evening we got to sit and watch a magic show. This guy was great. He’s funny, crafty, he will blow your mind with his skill, and good at taking my wife’s Apple Watch haha. Thank you House of Cards for making our night special. We will treasure the memories made there. We WILL be back!

    Booked a dinner for a work group. It was a huge hit! Food was good and it was a unique experience for all. Great way to have a quality night away from the hustle and bustle of broadway.

    I had a customer dinner and Brandon was my waiter. From beginning to end, it was a different dining experience than I have ever had. In a phenomenal way. It was beyond my expectations and those of my guests. I’d do it again in a minute. My clients said it was the most memorable dining experience they have ever had.

    We were told it was strict formal dress and there were women wearing non formal dresses and cowboy boots. We were also told we had to order 2 entrees to see the magic show. I only wanted an appetizer and salad after 2 cocktails because I was so full (the pork belly appetizer is huge!) but bought an entree that they boxed up to go and then after we paid our tab -the box was left behind the bar. So that was disappointing. It was a great show but I can’t give the overall experience 5 stars.

    (Went to Sunday brunch with a friend and our 10 yr old daughters) At first the price may seem daunting, but once you’re there, you realize it’s for a huge brunch buffet, 2 smaller magic shows, and one large magic show. It ends up being a really good deal for all you get! Very cool place, and the bigger show is also hilarious. Highly recommend.
