Hi All, In short, we had a ✨magical✨ time at House of Cards. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that the elk, filet, broccolini, asparagus, and the panzanella salad we ordered practically ✨disappeared✨. Honorable mention to Brendan, our 10/10 server. Bravo HOC 🎩 🐇 🪄 Yours truly, Matt

One of our "go-to's" when we're in Nashville, particularly if we want to celebrate something special. Love the environment, love the server staff (especially Brandon & Savannah) and love the live jazz. And the food is always outstanding!!!

First time to eat at The Henry. The staff was very personable, welcoming and attentive. Our server. Carlee was excellent; very informative and helpful. The menu is great and the food is excellent. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken and avocado salad and the butter cake with caramel sauce for dessert. The restaurant has a good vibe. I look forward to eating there again. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a fabulous evening beginning with the brie fondue and cocktails. Every dish was delicious and exceptional: spinach & warm bacon salad, French onion soup, boeuf bourguignon, blackberry salmon, and an evening special Filet Oscar. We ended the meal with Bananas Foster. The service was excellent: attentive but no hovering. We were there to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed! This was our first visit and we look forward to returning.
