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.

We ordered the Louisiana Cajun Pasta, the tilapia, sirloin steak dinner and the fried platter. Everything was absolutely great. Being a Cajun food lover it was great. Even all the sides and drinks. Great waiter and picture service. Would visit again.
