Cardinal

My wife & I attended an restaurant industry wine tasting here. It was a wonderful experience. I briefly spoke w chef/owner Michael Brennan. This was the most comfortable & perfect place for the tasting with well over 30 wineries/presenters. Chef Michael's food was far beyond the typical meat & cheese offerings. It was an upscale & delicious accompaniment to some fabulous wines. WELL DONE, Michael! We are excited about coming in for dinner.

From being greeted, to seated and served…everyone working on NYE was welcoming and pleasant. Great cocktails… Figure of Speech was unique and delicious. We had a couple starters (caviar was amazing) and did the pre-fix menu (the short ribs!!!!). All the items we ordered were fantastic and a tremendous value. Our server was friendly and efficient, offered good recommendations and reassurance of our choices, and made for an overall enjoyable dinner. We are so happy we chose it and will highly recommend to others. We will absolutely be back on our next trip to AC!

I arrived for dinner last evening around 6 pm. I was greeted by the bar staff as soon as I entered. Followed by a welcome from the Executive Chef and Owner Michael Brennan. I opted to sit near the bar at a low table. In seconds my table was surrounded by the team, my server, the bartender and the owner, making me feel welcome and insuring I was comfortable. I was presented with multiple menus, all updated for the season, I selected the That Dill Though, it was there in two minutes, a tall glass with ice, vodka, dill syrup, lemon, Granny Smith apple, and prosecco, garnished with fresh dill. It was cool, refreshing and delicious. I discovered a lot of new items with creative flair and sounding amazing. I selected from the Prix Fixe menu. This is a new feature that includes an appetizer, m

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Cardinal! The food was unique, fresh, and delicious. The perfect spot for brunch to top off a wonderful weekend. I was staying at the nearby Atlantic Palace and saw positive reviews online. I wanted to try something local and they did not disappoint. My friend and I started with the Crispy Broccoli. This was such a unique starter. Perfect, lightly battered, crowns of broccoli cooked to perfection. I honestly contemplated ordering a batch to go. Once they were gone, we were definitely wanting more. I had the Southern Eggs Benedict, crispy chicken on a house made biscuit topped with sausage gravy and eggs. My friend enjoyed the Chicken & Waffles. The chicken was juicy and tender, with a well seasoned batter. Just 10s across the board for both dishes. The L

This was the was absolute best surprise of our recent AC dudes trip. They were able to accommodate 10 guys on a Saturday night and the food was outta this world good. I crushed the ricotta gnocchi so hard the only photo you get it a picture of the empty bow! The Brussel sprouts were so delicious we were still talking about them 3 hours later. I pray for an excuse to get back to NJ and eat here again. I cannot imagine a world in which you come to AC and not eat here. Spectacular all around service and ambiance as well!! Great vegetarian options and solid NA mocktail options!!!
