The staff had no idea of what type of food that was served, did not know anything about wines/drinks and service was very poor. The noise level was very high hard to talk to our guest who was visiting from Bahrain. his impression was so low and worse when he wanted to pay the bill only to find they had charged for an entre that was not delivered! The food was ok though.

Food was substandard, signature dish terrible, prawn pasta dish tasteless and was all heads & tails. Our table waiter did not know what see was doing, no idea of the beverage list or what the food was about, service haphazard. Very disappointed On line reviews very misleading.

This has been amazing! We have come for the last 2 Sundays and have never had such lovely roast lunches - anywhere. In fact, I have decided to never cook a roast lunch again as I will never be able to do it as beautifully as they can at Cardon. The young women working here are super helpful and the food is wonderful! Beautiful fresh food and gorgeous veggies and a roast to die for - thanks to the incredible chef! I honestly think I will not turn on my oven again if I can keep eating these special roasts. Wonderful chefs, lovely people serving - what’s not to love?? We’ll be back (forever!!!)
