The service was excellent. Steak Diane was something different. Nice and vinegary sauce, went beautifully with the aged steak. Many of the melas were very gastronomic, which I liked. Blobs of purres and such and always a great combination of taste and colour. I recognized some of the wines. The mark up on wine was nearly 300%! Will be back, without the wine.

Attentive staff and a Creme Brulee like none you have tasted...... Oh that Creme Brulee, perfectly set and creamy, warmed through without being runny and a lovely crisp sugar coating, not too thikk and just browned enough for taste If for nothing else, I will become a regular just for that creme brulee mmmmmmm

Our waitress and other waitstaff seemed like the nicest people ever but the food was pretty bad. I…read moreordered the scotch fillet steak with mushroom sauce and baked potato for lunch. All 3 were bad. The steak tasted cheap, the potato didn't even taste like a potato and I'm not sure how they managed to achieve that and it was all leathery, the mushroom sauce tasted awfully fatty. The coleslaw that came with the food was great. My partner ordered a special and chips with his steak. The chips were delicious but his steak came out lukewarm. We then ordered dessert hoping it would improve our mood after the disappointing lunch. We ordered the chocolate mousse that was on special and the bread and butter pudding. The mousse was massively overpriced for the amount that was on the plate, the taste was okay. The bread and butter pudding was awfully dry and nothing like how bread and butter ouais g is meant to be. We weren't able to eat more than about 5% of the bread and butter pudding before giving up on it altogether. Pros: waitstaff, chips Cons: steak, baked potatoes, desserts

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.
