    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!

    Had a nice dinner the day after Valentines. Had an early reservation as we were going to a show afterward, and dinner was served efficiently/quickly. Restaurant was very busy. Service was good. Tuna poke bowl was great- tuna was so smooth. Mistakenly thought there was a valet, but thankfully there is a parking deck right next to the restaurant.

    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.

    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.

    Greeted by friendly staff upon arrival. Our server was excellent and suggested a couple of items off the menu. I had the Carne Asada tacos and the Shrimp tacos with corn tortillas, absolutely delicious! Food was fresh and flavorful. On the value side it was a little more than your average Mexican restaurant, but it’s Downtown Nashville so that was to be expected. Blanco’s service, food and atmosphere make it worth the extra cost!
