We had a lovely lunch. Both ordered a seniors meal. Was disappointed that they were both over $20 being seniors.
The staff were lovely and friendly.
I ordered a white wine and a beer. But the waitress didn’t ask me what size wine I wanted, and she gave me a double and at $15 way too expensive and too much for lunch.

We had a great night at the pub. A group of 9 ladies & were looked after by Jono, who was just fantastic! Looked after us all very well & his service was faultless.

The pub was welcoming enough, full table service was nice, until the wait staff don't care to check if you want anything... We had a lovely young waitress at the start and her shift ended from then on we would go to the counter to order. Staff seemed rushed or pushy.
I would give this place another go but initial thoughts aren't great. Hope they can improve on this so other diners don't have the same experience.

Stewart was our waiter tonight and he was absolutely lovely. Very attentive and a good eye for detail! Always checking on our table and seeing if we were okay. You can trust to be taken care of with him. To his person in charge, you’re lucky to have him!
A lovely atmosphere at the Cardinia park hotel as well. You can almost hear the team having a lovely time too. A healthy working team means happy customers! Keep up the great work.

Really clean venue & thoroughly enjoyed our luncheon.
Moderately priced for both food & drinks. I had the Cous Cous with lamb. Senior pricing was also very reasonable & meals were fairly big!
Staff were super friendly & happy to split the bill!

Perfect dinner place. Come hungry, friendly staff. Food might take a little longer to arrive on peak times but so much worth it

Nice and clean place, friendly service, good wine and coffee, excellent food. My steak with a seafood was just cooked to perfection. Definitely worth to come back for more.

Love this pub, delicious food & great service. Fantastic for functions too. I had mum’s wake back here September last year. Jordan organised everything so well, it helped ease the day for my family & I. The food & service.was amazing, everyone commented. Highly recommend:)

Loved our dining experience here! Friendly staff, top notch food and generous servings, lovely atmosphere & reasonable prices. Hadn't been here in many years so a lot had changed and it was all for the better. We'll return - cannot fault this establishment at all!

Just popped in during the day on a Tuesday afternoon around 3pm. Nice looking place but limited options during the day. A sports bar is the only option, but not great if you want somewhere quiet to sit. There is a nice outside area but this is a smokers area too. It took a while to get service and you can't sit in the bistro because the bar is not staffed.

I went in a big group for a work farewell, there was less options of food choices and when I got my snitzel out it was a bit soggy which wasn’t great. The salad was amazing and the mash potato had little to no flavours but the other people at my tables seemed to be ‘okay’ with the food. The service was good too. Since we were in a group, they took our orders each and asked for our names, putting it next to our orders. So when they came out with the food they just said our names and we knew which order it was for. I thought this was so unique and it was a great way to not be confused with food orders. They were also very polite and friendly

I've never been here before, and I'm not a fan of hotel food. I thought we would give it go. My overall experience was great. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the decor is modern with plenty of room to eat comfortably. I found the staff to be friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food came out promptly. I had the seafood linguine. I asked for no parmesan or white wine and they were happy to make the changes for me. I did find the pasta overcooked and the Napoli a little watery. This wouldn't change my order as the flavour was great and the generosity of the seafood. I'm looking forward to going again to try something different.

I recently had the pleasure of grabbing a bite at the Cardi Pub and I must say, the highlight of the experience was undoubtedly the exceptional service provided by our barman Johnno. From the moment we were seated, Johnno greeted us with a warm smile, setting the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic casual dining experience.
What truly stood out was Johnno’s genuine passion for hospitality. His enthusiasm was infectious, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and our plates were cleared promptly.
In addition to his exemplary service, Johnno also went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests we had, demonstrating a level of dedication and commitment that is truly commendable.
Overall, our casual dining experience at Cardi Pub was elevated to new heights thanks to the outstanding service provided by Johnno. Kudos to Johnno for exceeding all expectations and embodying the epitome of exceptional hospitality!

I had a wonderful time at Cardinia Hotel, largely thanks to the awesome and friendly barman Johnno.
Johnno was not only quick and efficient but also incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. His cheerful demeanor and attentiveness added so much to the experience. I'll definitely be returning for more great drinks and fantastic service!

Havnt been here for ages and so much has changed. Lunch in the bistro was fantastic with actual table service in a club. The Aussie parma was the thickest I've ever had, we couldn't finish our meals. You have to try.

Had lunch on Thursday.
Management seem to be more worried about art and craft rather than customers. Was pretty dissapointing.
Food tho on the other hand was spectacular and I highly recommend the prawn parmi. It was a great lunch.

Had dinner here on a weekend where our table had more than 10 people. The way they took our orders was organised however all orders were sent to the table almost at the same time, about after an hour. It’s a busy night so that’s fine. Ordered seafood risotto which was great but a bit salty. Will still come back here next time to try their other dishes.

Exquisite! Outstanding service by friendly staff. Food is always fresh and perfectly cooked. We frequent with family and friends, every meal is delicious! Hosted a school reunion there last year. Again, finger food was yummy and elegant. Staff made it so easy to organise, even helped me with music! Thank you wonderful staff at the Cardi! Our favourite venue!

Every time we dine at this hotel we are pleased with the large serves and well prepared dishes. The steaks are cooked consistently to how they are ordered and salads are fresh and of ample size.

Don't let the ordinary facade put you off going inside because this Hotel is well worth a go. Lunch was superb, beautifully cooked and well-presented. The staff were very pleasant, polite and attentive. The hotel was busy but maintained a quiet atmosphere. I thoroughly recommend Cardinia Park Hotel A+++

Decent feed in the area. A little pricey but good ambience inside. Mexican chicken parmigiana was good without being amazing. Chips not great

Couldn’t find the booking and no offer to show us to table we just wandered to find our friends. Hair in kids meal (which was taken back and returned to us quickly so just same meal now slightly colder, had to remind waitress for kids colouring book which is a lovely feature but used to be on arrival). Salad instead of veg with steak. Hair in another meal and by this time just ate around it.
Last visit earlier this year had hair in the food, I just ate around it and was told I should have spoken up. Did this time and seem to be little care. Slow to clear plates. No offer for second drinks or desert. TV just show weekly specials which some used to be menu items.
Saw waitress re arrange salad (with her hands) onto the top of another patrons dish that had fallen off as the garnish of the meal while delivering to the table.
Wont return. Sad to see how far this has gone down hill.

Beef burger was absolutely spot on! Perfect flavour combo and didn't fall apart.
Espresso martinis were delicious.
Staff were friendly and prompt also.
Definitely coming back soon.
