We have dined at Cardon 4 times now and it’s always a wonderful experience. Looking forward to trying the Sunday roast.

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!!!)

Love this new space and the staff are very natural, friendly and offer great casual service - just perfect for a lazy lunch. Twice I have had the Barramundi with the prawn filled dumplings and the most delicious sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce (both dishes hard to pass). Have visited a few times and found it consistently good. Really happy to recommend this new restaurant.

Overall, a great experience. The food was great, although we were surprised to find that there wasn't 'table service' for orders. We all enjoyed our meals; they were tasty and well presented.

Staff were very attentive, everyone enjoyed their meals and we will definitely go again as the setting against the golf green is lovely, great deco design with plenty of tables inside and out.
