    Such a fun place to go. Magicians are amazing. The food is really spectacular. A bit expensive so can’t go very often, but love it when we can. A little noisy on the night we went.

    Fantastic! Come here one time in your life for the experience. Don’t get talked into ordering a bunch of sides you don’t need or $25 butter on your steaks. It depends on your occasion. I expected to pay for the experience but for four people and a round of drinks it was over $800 after tipping out. Awesome atmosphere? Yes. Great talented magicians. Value…new Nashville or LA. Another couple of rounds and you are easily into a grand for the evening. The photos and show helps even it out. They pace you to eat fast in order to make your specific show time and turn the table. I would go again but watch the sleight of hand.

    This is a really fun, top notch magic show experience. Absolutely worth it. We took our 11 and 13 y.o. to Saturday brunch, and to see the shows. The food was really good. Prime rib, crab legs, crab claws, eggs, waffles, pretty much anything you could want. Servers and hostesses were very kind but service was still lacking. Despite there only being 4 tables occupied, I couldn't get a coffee refill after several requests but we keep getting oj refills, despite saying no more. Anyway, that won't preclude us visiting another time. The magic is outstanding.

    We had a fantastic experience. The ambience is great. The servers were very nice and accommodating. We had Matt and Renee at the bar - they were great. The GM, Joey, was nice and intentional to say hi to us as well. The magic show was totally mind-blowing and really fun. We had David Stryker - truly amazing. And the food was PERFECT. Lamb shanks were excellent as well as the beef tartare. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for here. Will definitely be back.

    A very expensive night ($800 for 2 including tip), but the food and drinks were amazing . We had a great time at the show making it all worth it. The Japanese Wagyu Filet was my favorite! Have fun, enjoy and it’s only money!

    The table magic and main show were outstanding. The illusionists involved the audience which made it even more fun. The shows were top notch. The food was disappointing. The menu looks delicious but for the price I would have expected a lot more than mediocre. My prime filet (as it as stated) was quite tough and chewy.

    The experience was amazing and the food was outstanding. What was offputting was that I wore a blazer that was very nice yet I was told by a rather rude hostess that the lapel was not large enough so I had to wear an ill fitting coat pulled from a closet. If a lapel has to be a certain size, you should be explicit. It was embarrassing and I was rather uncomfortable. It was a poor start to the evening

    The front hostess was rude because one of our guest did not have a dinner jacket on. Also said our reservation was for four when it had been updated to five. Just rude.

    Great time for us and our guests and worth it! Second trip to HOC and it did not disappoint. Perhaps even better than the first. A weeknight visit allows for more 1:1 engagement with the magicians,
