    We loved all of the crudo dishes (Hamachi, tuna and salmon). All of the other dishes were great as well. Our server and the manager were both so nice and accommodating.

    Every dish we ordered was great, but my personal favorites were the garlic bread with the Parmesan dip (the Parmesan dip is a must), the creamy spinach, and the radiatori vodka pasta. The service was top notch with multiple servers constantly watching your table to take away empty dishes, bring your next dish, and refill your drinks. I loved the concept of everything being smaller dishes to share because we were able to order multiple things and try a lot. I can’t wait to go back!

    My friend and I didn’t celebrate new years, so we decided to have a night out at House of Cards. It was my second time visiting the place, 10/10 experience both times. The magic show was incredible! If you don’t believe in magic, you will after the show! 🪄 we sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive. Drinks were great, service was amazing. If you’re thinking about going, do iiittt.

    Wife and I traveled to celebrate her birthday, and I decided to make reservations at Peninsula. Let me say I am glad I chose this place! Excellent service from the hostess and our waiter. we ordered 5 dishes to try, and everything was fresh and exciting. Intimate feeling within the restaurant itself with limited seating. Seemed all the waiters were busy checking on guests and taking care of everyone, nobody sitting on their phones. They explained every dish as they brought it out. They arrived quite quickly as well. We did not have to worry about anything. 100% recommend this experience and we will definitely be back at some point!
