If i could give this place 10stars i would! The staff and service blew me away! And the food was absolutely amazing. Do not believe any bad reviews coz this is now my FAVOURITE restuarant! Cant wait to go back. We were treated so well and still cant stop talking about how fantastic it was! Shahab is an absolutely amazing guy who was an absolute delight that we asked him to sit with us while we ate! Definitely going back many times over!!! :) just amazing!
Food is great,service is great.��
So far best seafood. Also very good price range and food quantity is also good.
We went to Cardens on Thursday night for 'date night' and it was fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I even enjoyed the snails I tried! We will definitely be back.

I dread returning to a restaurant only to find out management has changed (we haven't been here in years). I always get a feeling of pending disappointment.
The service was quick and very pleasant - from both our waitress and the host. The house wine was actually quite nice and I enjoyed it. Water was offered with or without ice and included a slice of lemon - fancy!
The food did take a while to come out. We started off with some cheesy garlic bread. I actually wasn't impressed at all. Perhaps it's because of the prices on the menu but I expected a garlic pizza bread or at least garlic ciabatta bread like many Italian restaurants off. Instead we were given what looks like garlic bread you can buy from a supermarket drowned in cheese. While it didn't taste bad, the presentation left much to be desired and the bread want sliced properly. It's the type of garlic bread you expect to make at home while drunk and watching infomercials.
The steaks came and I wasn't betting on it being delicious. First I took a cautious bite of a chip - hot, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside! Things are looking good.
The side salad is refreshing, although I would tip that they were a little too generous with the dressing.
My first cut into the steak was disappointing... Things are looking a little overcooked.. but it's a T-bone, they're hard to get right.. so I cut a little deeper... And so glad I gave it a chance because the rest of it was a perfect medium-rare.
Now for the sauces. I would have to say these took the rating from a 4 to a 3.5 for me. Sauce is important.
We had the pepper sauce and the garlic sauce. (They're $6 each BTW).
The serving was generous - the taste was a disgrace.
Both sauces are cream based. Both sauces were thick and gluggy. Both sauces probably had too much cream and wasn't seasoned well.
For the price you'd expect some peppercorns in the pepper sauce. None were to be found - they used crack pepper.
Garlic sauce did not taste like garlic and instead resembled hollandaise.
Hopefully the chefs can work on their sauces and I can give this another go.
I have been eating at Cardens since 2004 and I just cannot get enough of their perfectly cooked Cusine . The hostess Katherine cannot do enough for you as with their staff I would recommend them wholeheartedly ..Sandra
Cardens is a hidden gem. The long-standing establishment can easily boast the highest experience in dining. The owner makes sure to stock an impressive cellar too. The menu doesn't look vegetarian friendly, but ask the staff and you won't be disappointed.
The interior boasted a very warm and cosy ambience which was quite surprising to walk into. Our steaks were cooked well and the seafood curry was nice and creamy! Lovely and attentive service. Would come back again next time to try out their other dishes!
Vy good food. My favourite is Garlic bread!! Always order two serves and can't stop! And bBQ prawns!!! Best prawns! I hv brought many friends here and the restaurant never let me down😃😃
Was a little skeptical when we saw the decor... but there was no turning back. So glad that we chose to try this place out. Lovely starter, blown away by our seafood platter for 2 ... was enough to feed a family of 4, and fresh. Staff were also very pleasant... all in all a great dining experience.
I came here yesterday for dinner and didn't really expect it to amazing but OMG!! I had the best eye fillet steak in my life! I'm drooling just thinking about it! The side of vegetables had the best chargrilled flavour! Hosts were so attentive & friendly!
Don't get me wrong, I didn't think it'd be bad as my friend told me the food is good but it really blew my mind how damn tasty everything was! The steak was so tender & juicy. I need to come back real soon! :):)
Had dinner on sat night. Could not fault it. Service was friendly and welcoming. Steaks were cooked to perfection . The croc was awesome. Will certainly be back. Waitresses were absolutely beautiful.
Nice dinner. The seafood is very fresh and I managed to satisfy my craving for escargot here. The price is reasonable for amount of food ordered.
