    We went to House of Cards for my birthday. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The food is extremely expensive but I think some of that cost is to pay for the magician. My family ordered steaks and a filet mignon. They said it was very good. I ordered the butternut squash vegetarian dish. It was good but not my favorite vegetarian dish I have ever had. A bit too salty so I did not eat it all. We had a really good bottle of Cabernet red wine. All in all I think we paid $750 for 5 people so be prepared for that. The magician was pretty good as well. We had a wonderful night overall. Every staff member we spoke to was polite and friendly. The ambiance was nice as well.

    This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.

    The food was delicious. Lobster roll was market value, $36 that day for a hot dog sized roll with a side of chips. It was very good though. The Southampton Pizza was very flavorful, as was the New England clam chowder. Best chowder next to what we’ve had in Boston. It’s a little loud in the restaurant. But not obnoxious. The majority of the Christmas decorations (if you’re coming to see those because you saw it on social media) are on the rooftop level. The rest of the restaurant is regular ambiance. Very friendly service. I would go back.
