I had an exceptional lunch experience at House of Tricks yesterday. While there were a few things they could improve it was clear that this was a 5 star deal/establishment.
I started my meal off with a cup of exotic Asian beef soup. The flavors included corn and cilantro. The soup was incredible, possible one of the best soups I have ever had. The broth was clear and light. Temperature and spice was precise. Clearly hit the spot. I then had a lovely ahi tuna salad. Portion was huge, tuna perfect and lightly dressed. The pasta and veggies underneath were tasty and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day.
The problems here are a few. Acoustics are really bad. The floor is wood as are all the furnishings. It was very noisy and hard to hear others at my table. The outside is a tad rundown. Looks like they need some paint and repairs. Does not have the best curb appeal for a high end establishment.
Service was wonderful. I will definitely be coming back.
