Food and ambience was great!!! Magic show was entertaining. Staff was nice but felt after we placed our order there was no follow up. Otherwise a great experience
Hi Ane, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your food and the magic show! Thank you for your feedback.
The food is fair, but overpriced, except it includes the show, which makes the cost not so high.
Our 5th wedding anniversary dinner. It was amazing. Food was perfect and the magic was unbelievable. Probably the most unique dinner we’re ever had. Highly recommended!
Hi Scott, thank you for celebrating with us! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience.
Enjoyed this magical gem at the suggestion of some locals. A secret restaurant hidden beneath the Johnny Cash museum. Wonderful ambiance, excellent menu and exceptional drink selection. The private magic show that accompanied the dinner was fun. Definitely a place to experience!
Everything from the food to the entertainment to the service was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend.

Thank you for celebrating with us, Luana!
Honestly the most amazing dining experience ever! The food was the best in Nashville, bar none. The steak, the special selected rubs topped with foie gras butter (euphoric), the fresh vegetables and I could go on. However, better than all of that was the magic. As a magic fan, I’ve seen it all. The House of Cards Nashville is doing it better than nearly everyone else and absolutely on par with the big name Vegas greats. To close out the evening, dessert and cocktails on the patio. The waterfall, the dessert a cigar selection worthy of their almost unbelievable whiskey collection was something others simply don’t or can’t offer. Mind blowing selections. This is truly a little slice of heaven and I’m already planning my next visit! PS - They actually carry certified Kobe a5 beef and it’s without words and worth every penny!
This review made our day! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are so glad you had a magical night and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Thank you for this glowing review Teresa! We are so glad you joined us.
We were celebrating my daughter’s 20th birthday and went to Sunday brunch. We had a fanatic time. The table magic and the magic show was great! The food was generous portions and delicious.
Brunch was amazing. Food was delicious. Service was even better. The ambiance is unbeatable. The magic show is just the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much for this glowing review! We are so glad you had a magical experience.
Everything about this restaurant and experience was amazing. We had a group of 6 for a birthday dinner and we are so happy we chose House of Cards. The magic was unreal and our waiter, James, was wonderful. We even got to speak with the General Manager, Joey, who was welcoming and gracious.
PS they have the absolute BEST Espresso Martini in town. I 10/10 recommend this restaurant.
Thanks for celebrating with us! We appreciate your recommendation and we will be sure share your compliments with our team.

Hi Cody, thank you for your compliments!
The ultimate ladies night experience. The magic and atmosphere are so much fun + the drinks and food were exceptionally good especially for a “themed” restaurant.
Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad you and your friends had a magical experience.
Finally!! A chef who could cook Pittsburgh style steak!
Amazing dining and magic show experience
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback Amy!
Great experience!
Our evening was delightful. The food was delicious, served at a perfect temperature, and the wait staff was wonderful. The wine was a little overpriced but otherwise, I have only glowing comments. I have already recommended it to numerous people and hope to visit again soon. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Great value and incredible experience
Thank you John! We are glad you had a great experience.
This restaurant is a one of a kind experience! I had never experienced such an incredible meal. The ambiance is indescribable- I cannot wait to go back again!!!
Hi Brittany, we are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us and we look forward to welcoming you back!
Our evening at House of Cards was really fun! The food was good, but not great. The French onion soup was fantastic and the cocktails were excellent but that’s the only thing that stood out. Two gentlemen came over while dining - the one was INCREDIBLE (I wish I could remember his name - something like Anton or Amery??) But the second was was terrible. He used my hand to test his trick and I could feel the clear thread holding up the cigarette! We also clearly saw him hide a coin in his hat and figured out how his straw was “dancing”. Not great BUT - that first guy stole the show and blew our minds. The main performer was Kevin King - he was great - repeated a couple of tricks from the table guys but that was okay. The atmosphere is worth the trip and, while I’m pointing out the negatives, the evening was really a success and we all had a wonderful time! I do recommend it for something unique and different.
First time visiting House of Cards. We weren’t quite sure what to expect but it was a good night. Good food and drinks. The magic show was a bit different than expected, but not bad. Overall a great date night.
It was an awesome experience.... one dinner the kids will remember for years to come. Entertainment for every family member! Family Night only on Sunday Nights FYI
Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your dining experience with us.
Food was exquisite. Setting was spectacular. Magic at the table and at the show after dinner was brilliant. The best dining experience I have ever had. Get a reservation and do not miss this place!
Good atmosphere for date night. My husband got ribeye and I got pork chop, both were tough. Expected more given the price. The magic tricks were uniquely interesting and enjoyable.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the magic performances! We apologize that your meal did not meet expectations. We will pass your feedback along to our managers, and will use your comments to make us better.
This was possibly the best dining experience I have ever had in my life. The food was perfect, amazing flavors recommended by our attentive waiter whose name I do not recall, but he wore clear glasses. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and my friend loved her vegan option mushroom steak. The magic tricks were not only entertaining and mind-blowing but had my friends and I laughing out loud and the show after was amazing. Loved the ambience, loved dressing up and how the other guests looked. My kind of place for sure. The manager, Joey is running a wonderful restaurant and personally spoke with each table twice. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a completely unique luxury dining experience.
This review made our day! Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to our team.
Fantastic food, service, entertainment, and ambiance! Unlike anything we've every experienced! We will definitely be back again.
Thank you for this glowing review Samantha! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Took my wife out for her birthday and it was an AWESOME experience. Amy, our server was very thorough and prompt. She was excellent. Food was delivered to out table fast, and was delicious!! Outside patio to smoke was intimate and relaxing. Magic show was very entertaining. This was out first time and it won’t be the last!!
Hi Christopher, thank you for celebrating with us! We are so glad you had a magical experience and we will be sure to pass along your compliments to our team.

This was my most favorite experience in Nashville!! Very pricey but you pay for the quality, service and experience. It was worth it in my book!
Amazing food and a unique experience, an absolute must try if in Nashville.
