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!

The food was great if a little seafood heavy. I didn’t realize beforehand that is was a seafood restaurant. I had the avocado corn pizza and it was so good. My daughter had the chicken sandwich. She enjoyed very much. Service was professional and responsive.

Absolutely lovely. The Host went above and beyond, looking at my reservation and matching it with the one I had made back in October of last year for my Wife's BD... she's got an allergy to Mushrooms, but still wanted to try the Beef Wellington, so they made one up for her back then... well.. they did it again this time without prompting, and absolutely nailed it. The service is top notch, the ambiance is lovely... We'll most assuredly be back.

My wife and I had dinner at Ella’s last night and the food was exceptional. The service by our server, Matt Valentine was even better. He’s definitely an asset to Ella’s. Not sure if we ever experienced a better waiter.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Etch!! The service was top notch, the food was delicious and presented exquisitely! The server knew the food and drink menu so well! They were very accommodating to my wife's gluten free needs. The red wine from Greece was amazing!! We enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, gluten free bread rolls, Etch salad. And for the main course we had the Port and Filet, with a side of brussels sprouts. The banana flavored ice cream was delicious, being very light on the banana flavor. I hope to return soon.
