    Halibut dish
    Kim M.

    Hubby and I went to Cardinal yesterday. Cocktails were great! Food was very good, and I expect that since we always visited their prior location. This location is much better!! So roomy that you don't feel crammed in at all. Great bar when you first walk in and in the dining area a second bar. Service was impeccable, can't ask for any better. Looks like it will be a fun place to hangout in the summer due to the setup outside. Try this place you won't be disappointed.

I can't say enough great things about the dinner ........ but I can!! MARY was the BEST server ever.

The Chicken parm on steroids is what they called it and let me tell you it was amazing. I absolutely loved the potato's on top and the sauce was outstanding. You get 2 nice sized pieces of chicken definitely fills you up. The bolognese sauce was incredible. Lots of meat and lots of pasta. Very garlicky which I love. Got it with angel hair pasta which was a great choice as well. The cappuccino and biscotti was amazing as well. Everything just tasted so fresh. Service was awesome, they were on point. Food came out fast and again tested great. It's a BYOB so dont forget to bring a bottle of wine. It's hard to get a reservation so if you're lucky to get one you will enjoy it.

A big bar that wraps around pretty much the whole first level, tons of bars stools. Drinks are cheap, $5 for a beer in AC is almost unheard in these times. The food was great, got the clams casino to start and it was good, 7.5/10. I then ordered the Chicken parm for dinner, which comes with a family sized salad for the table. The chicken was really good very flavorful and super tender, perfect amount of cheese and sauce on it as well. Pasta was cooked perfect and was very good 10/10. My wife had got the mussels with pasta and that was out of this world. First off the amount of mussels you get is crazy they give you so much. They were cooked great, cleaned really well also. Service was good from the bar as well as when i sat down. Food came out fast and tastes great. They don't rush you they space out the appetizer and your meal very well so it gives you time to enjoy it and not eat your dinner right after you finish the appetizer. Last thing is the prices for all of this is unmatched great prices and good food definitely something to try out.

    Always a must stop when in the area. Great food and service friendly staff. Enjoy sitting at the…read morebar and enjoying a good meal.

    I was looking for dinner in AC on a busy July 4 weekend. Chose this place based on proximity to…read moreTropicana and Yelp. It was a good choice. I've been to this area many times and never noticed this place. It's next to a liquor store in the first floor of a building. Once inside it has a very nice ambiance. The hostess is amazing. She does everything. Seating guests. Checking on tables. Bussing tables. Covering furniture for impending storms. The bartender was pretty cool too. She makes a great martini. She also came by to check on the table. Had two different pasta dishes. Tagliatelle bolognese and Orecchiette. The tagliatelle bolognese sauce was loaded with meat and had a great fresh flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The Orecchiette was perfectly cooked and the spicy Italian sausage and broccoli rabe made the dish. I go to AC often and I'm glad o found this gem to enjoy.

I had salmon carpaccio that was outstanding and an artisan pasta dish which was perfectly prepared. My fiancé had beef carpaccio and seared tuna, he said they were delicious, as well. We were staying at Ocean and I couldn't get a reservation at a restaurant there. I was a little nervous about picking a place off a web search, because it was my fiance's birthday, but I am so happy we did! We are really particular about food and service...and it was all top-notch. Added to this, we were two of the very last people in the restaurant and wanted to bring pizza back to the hotel knowing there'd be a late night of gambling. They were already cleaning up the pizza oven area and graciously said it was not a problem for us to order one to go. In reading a review just posted two days ago, I'm astounded at the experience because from start to finish everything was exceptional. We each had a cocktail, some wine, and shared a dessert. So, we probably spent more per person but that was by choice as we thought their prices were very reasonable. Such a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

He recommended the veal parmesan with a blush sauce, and it was hands down the best veal parm I've ever had--and I've been eating Italian food my entire life!

Liza, the bartender, was also incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. This was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I can't wait to return!

The service was amazing and attentive, and despite many patrons, it wasn't too loud. It felt very cozy. Everything is pricey but well worth it. Because we had such a great time, we came for dessert twice. The "dolci assortiti" is a natural choice because who can resist a sampling of cheesecake, tiramisu and flourless chocolate cake with zabaglione and whipped cream. It was a small serving of each, but they were all wonderful, with the cheesecake being denser than a typical NY cheesecake while the tiramisu was so light, and the chocolate is always a satisfying option. They have a few desserts served tableside, so we gave the "pere al vino" which they bring over a wooden tabletop and slice up and assemble the pear, berries, and cream. It's fun to watch and the pears were so sweet paired (pears paired - ha) with the soft, decadent cream. It was a little show and sweet, healthyish fruit. A different occasion, we got a special that wasn't on the menu (against our original plans) which was a gelato (we got cappuccino) with a berry sauce that was prepared tableside. Anything with a flambe is exciting and draws attention from other tables. It made such a tasty fruity puree on top of the gelato for a perfect combination of hot and cold temps melding together. Then we also got the affogato with vanilla gelato, both gelatos being super flavorful and creamy, this one with a nucillo amaro liquer to up the ante on coffee flavor with a little buzz. It was also a large size serving plenty for 2. I do want to actually try entrees one day, but they have such amazing baked desserts, gelatos, and tableside prepared offerings that make this a unique experience within the Hard Rock.
