Overall, not worthy of all the hype.\n\nI visited House of Tricks for a Friday business lunch. Although they didn't seem overly busy, everything was quite slow from the drink service through the food delivery to the process of getting the check. You know that part of the meal when all conversation is exhausted and everyone is glancing around wondering when they can go? You want your check before that point, usually.\n\nThe food is fresh-tasting but unremarkable. I had a Moroccan fruit and chicken shawarma salad. The dressing was OK but too little of it. The chicken was dry. The lettuce just seemed like garden variety (har har) boxed salad mix you would get from Costco or a food service. Pretty boring.\n\nI won't be back.
