Decided to try the bistro instead and got my friend to meet me there. Beautiful location, right by the water with the sun going down. The staff were young, teens to early twenties, and mostly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the salmon, it came out on a plate with a huge pile of chips. For the price I was expecting something much better. I basically paid a fancy restaurant price for pub food. The salad came later which was not even worth eating, the dressing was sugary and the leaves wilted. They could definitely lift their game food wise. It's a good place to sit by the water and have drinks, don't expect too much from the menu though.

Said family member raved about this place, sensational steak I was told, so of course I decided to attend this birthday. I will note there was about 25 of us, so a significantly large amount of mouths to feed. May I start with the wine, quite cheap and they sure made sure my glass was never empty, this is a tick! Wait time was very excessive, as noted though a large amount of people will do this so no judgement there, I ate snails while I waited, so win for me! I ordered my steak rare with garlic sauce and veggies, it came out closer to medium rare, but that's ok, it was an ok steak, my sauce was very sweet for a garlic base but all in all it was ok. Do I think it was as good as said family member described? Gosh no, was it a good steak, sure. Will I be coming back? Defiantly not. What I will defiantly give props to and make noted is how well the restaurant handled such a large number of people, it was very organized and they kindly let everyone pay their own portion of the bill rather than dealing with the very messy who owes what situation. this gives them a lot in my opinion as when people start to get their calculator out to work out who owes what, I shudder in embarasmnet and can't really handle it.

Despite a giant 3d pink lobster crawling across it's blue second-story facade, Cardens Steak and…read moreSeafood restaurant is easy to pass by or miss if you've never been here before. But if you like steak and seafood then it's worth a visit. Their classic 'Steak a la Cardens' has kept drawing me back for many many years. Just choose the fillet steak option and soak up the creamy lobster prawn and seafood sauce. I love the 'seafood madras' also when I'm after a change. Think lots of scallops in a dreamy, creamy, curry. Delicious. The decor is plush, but a little dated and kitsch for my liking: lots of nautical references, it's just a little too 'finding nemo'ish'. It's changed hands only once since it opened and the new owners are lovely people, so don't let the dated decor put you off. The menu remains pretty much the same as it always was. As well as the usual steak and seafood menu items you'd expect, they offer crocodile, snails, frog legs and sword fish just for conversation starters I reckon. The quality and serving sizes always felt generous, but seemed a little less so on my last visit, so I'm hoping that was just a once off and not a sign of the times. What does crocodile taste like you ask, and is it worth ordering? Think salty chicken, and that's a YES from me.

2 special memories - both because of the food…read more Good bay views from this upstairs restaurant. But these are surpassed by the tastes. I've a fond memory from eating in the restaurant some time ago, so today I came back. This time I sat on the veranda. My lunch was again very memorable. I sat next to 4 celebrating a 90th birthday over lunch and a bottle of red, so I wasn't the only person here for a memorable lunch. So the views and especially the food are elevated to a raised level, the service isn't. This time I found the service very mechanical: no welcoming, no friendly connection, and only one waiter was slightly passionate and engaging. As mentioned there's 2 seating areas (with the same menu it seems): enclosed windowed section, and a veranda with 1 wall of gently flapping see-through plastic. This is even brighter due to being lit from 2.5 sides, also 1 piece of plastic was slightly unzipped so a gentle breeze that smells of the sea. On the menu the starters are labelled Small Plates and the mains Larger. The well worded menu also encourages sharing. There is a good range of food and wines from both around the planet and around the peninsula. The food is inventive, well presented, tasty and nutritious. Given the location I was expecting a list of fish with the option of salad or veg. I didn't get the menu I was expecting, and struggled to find what to order. I ended up going for the Mixed FIsh Grill Kebabs. I also ended up ordering the Crab starter that came as a Lettuce Wrap. So I ended up with a partly Assemble Yourself Then Pick It Up And Eat It style lunch. This additional physical interaction with the food enhanced the amazing experience the food was. The tastes were sensational. Not only is the food fresh, it consists of amazing flavours and combinations of flavours. So, in summary: How good is the food? I found the service lacklustre and this place still gets 5 stars. Say no more.

The restaurant was completely empty apart from our group. I suspect this place will close down soon.

The staff is faster, more friendly and more efficient than...uh, something ridiculously fast, friendly and efficient. Properly frying food is a science. Time, temperature and technique dictate the difference between soggy/greasy and crispy/light. They have mastered the process and the results are evident in their products. This was particularly noticeable upon eating a piece of fried flake that my son couldn't finish approximately 2 hours after he'd ordered it. The batter was still crunchy and light, which is something I've rarely encountered with fried food. They also act a fish monger, selling fresh seafood at a reasonable price. Additionally they just relocated to a larger shop, and added a noodle bar. As far as the noodles go I've only had the hokkien mee so far as I figured it would be a good baseline and I'm pleased to report it was very good. This is my go-to fish and chips in Chelsea and I'm hoping it becomes my go-to noodle joint too.
