    We had a party of 4, sat outside in the heated patio. Very comfortable and cozy. 2 of us got the shrimp and grits. Savory sauce, really good. My husband got the scallops. He enjoyed them, good flavor but there were only 3 scallops. Would go back.

    Review for House of Cards – Nashville House of Cards is an incredible hidden gem inside the Johnny Cash Museum, offering a unique mix of fine dining and top-tier entertainment. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The food was outstanding—my filet was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with a classic baked potato, while my husband’s bone-in ribeye was just as impressive. Every bite was flavorful and expertly prepared. Our server, Riley, made the experience even better with their friendly, efficient, and humorous service. One of the highlights of the night was the entertainment. The card magicians roaming the restaurant kept us engaged and amazed, and the after-dinner show was the perfect way to end the evening. The combination of great food, top-notch service, and mesmerizing magic makes House of Cards a must-visit spot in Nashville. We’ll definitely be back!

    Always love the food and service. On the special event evenings such as Valentine’s Day we would love to see a little more variety in the desserts. Two of the three were the same as last year. With such great chefs let them loose for dessert. Also, went to the upstairs bar after dinner and the bartender was excellent. He could have use a 2nd person so we did not have to want so long to pay our bill or get a 2nd drink.

    We were greeted by a cheerful and courteous host team that quickly escorted us to our table. The table was amazing a semi-circle booth facing the bar. I highly recommend this table if you are an appreciator of great piano bar music. Our waiter was amazing and connected with all of the guests at our table quickly. He explained all the specials a little history about some of the drinks on the menu, including the famous Brittney drink, and then proceeded to make some of his personal recommendations. I highly recommend any of the seafood or sushi selections as they have been the best we have found in town. The manager came by several times to check on us and ask if we needed anything else. Overall, the experience was excellent and we always highly recommend this restaurant on our travels through Nashville. I would recommend making reservations well in advance and if you like, live music, make sure to request an area by the bar.
