Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

great spot. Lovely ambience by the wharf. Pretty busy and our order was late.. And steak was ok as we were expecting better ones. Salad was ordinary. Otherwise its ok.

We went to Cardo's for dinner as a family group of five without a booking. We were immediately allocated a table under a fan and brought our menus. Cocktails soon followed. We ordered one child's pizza, one Walu fish special from the board, one chicken...salad and two NZ steaks with lovely accompaniments. I was particularly impressed with my 300g medium-rare NZ rib-eye, potato wedges and bearnaise sauce. I'm fussy about steaks, but this was excellent - flavourful, properly cooked and so tender. Everything was polished off. A perfect meal!More

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with the fresh fruit plater and one of the best omelets that I have had in sometime.

A firm favourite! This is one of the original restaurants and is rightly renowned for its steak and cocktails. We love it and visit every year. Would highly recommend

Beautiful spot overlooking the marina, just our lunch was very average, everyone ignored us at the bar & the frozen margarita was terrible. The waitress was lovely though!

The oysters are amazing. Service was great. Tevida was so friendly & helpful. Even taught us some Fijian words. Such a lovely bar to be at to relax & watch the world go by. Definitely worth a visit.

It is a popular venue set on the quayside. This was in danger of becoming our regular haunt with three separate visits (twice for their seafood chowder). We did enjoy the pour-yourself beer towers, possibly a little too much, and even set an unofficial record...of six towers in one evening.More

We had two meals one the seafood chowder which they happily swapped garlic bread for wedges, pronounced one of the best ever tasted , only drawback was not heated enough. The other enjoyed the seafood hotpot , full of a selection of seafood but again...needed heating a little, had two nice pieces of garlic bread. Staff very friendlyMore

Nice situation overlooking the Denerau marina. Had previously stopped for a quick lunch a week earlier and enjoyed so returned and ordered oysters and tempura prawns - all delicious, oysters au naturel and the prawns cooked perfectly. Washed down with a beer. A delicious lunch...!More

Worst place I’ve been too in Fiji hands down. Had the steak and it was awful, partner had a pizza which was even worse. Staff impossible to talk to, also asked to move table 3 times (once while we had food in our mouths)

Great live band at night and excellent NZ meat dishes. Not cheap but the daily specials are better value. Service a little on the cold side so we didn’t tip

We ate there twice while visiting Fiji. We only went back a second time because we were with a group and it wasn't our decision. Service is very, very slow (1+ hour wait after ordering food), and the food is poor (quality and taste). Definitely...do not order the fish burger - the small piece of fish was tough and the bun was almost stale. The fries that came with the burger were cold. The fish and chips were okay, but certainly not worth the wait. Our group's food was not served together (9 people) The last main was served long after everyone else had finished!More

Quite busy when we arrived but we were seated straight away. Menus provided and drinks orders taken. Our team of 3 all ordered burgers. BBQ burger, Hawaiian burger and a Cardi’s steak and egg burger. You can’t go wrong with burgers but these were just...OK and came with a very small serving of fries. I also have 6 oysters. They arrived in massive shells and to be fair were a decent size. The only down side is that they hadn’t been detached from the shell which made it very fiddly to remove and eat.More

Great location and band. Our waitress was lovely but let down by poor service from the kitchen. 1hr 50min for pizza, steak and oysters and it was not that busy. Pizza was ok, the oysters were not.
