    House of Cards hosted us to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. The ambiance, quality, and flavor cannot be understated. The servers were knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu: from food to drinks and cigars. Dinner service was partnered with close-up magic tricks and a full magic performance. In addition, the restaurant’s photographer provides complimentary photos. The experience is not one to be forgotten, and it ranks highly among my favorite experiences in any restaurant or speakeasy.

    After reading many comments about Skull’s, we were thrilled to get a dinner reservation. The cocktails were fantastic, the food was incredible (try the pork chop) but the show was the best! We did not expect to see and hear such talent. It is worth taking a nap to be able to enjoy this late night!!

    EXCEPTIONAL!! Best steak I've ever had! Do not pass on the cheese charcuterie board. The duck was fabulous! The lamb most exquisite! The salmon did not disappoint. Best Old Fashion, very smooth! Pricey but definitely a bucket list location, especially when it's all decorated for Christmas! Special occasion destination - anniversary, graduation, family visiting for holidays, etc. Our waiter, Paine, was the best! Very knowledgeable with amazing recommendations. I'm also most appreciative of the lady with Open Table that helped me change our reservation 3 times! :)
