The quality of the food has steadily declined from just a few years ago. The kicker happened in the men's bathroom when I witnessed a kitchen staff member use the urinal and go back to the kitchen without washing his hands. But, to make matters worse, I informed the hostess what I saw and she denied it happened in the best broken English she could muster.
Pros: My memories of past late night meals
Cons: Food, kitchen staff hygiene, hostess attitude

I love Karaoke and just started going to the Cardinal on Wednesday nights for the great Karaoke on that night. I usually go in early and have something to eat at the restaurant. The food is great and the portions in most cases more than I can handle. The service is great and in the bar it is the same. The bar is great as most everyone is having a good time and no outrageous noise or troublemakers as I have seen in some bars around town. Great place and reccomend all the facilities that are available there.
Pros: Parking is very good and The service is great and of the course the food is great
Cons: Only once in a while in the bar some really loud people but no one gets out of hand.

I'm sure you can find better fare, better service, better value during day-worker's hours, but I don't think you can find anything better after then. Loved the lights; I recommend you be in perky mood, ready for a diner meets Vegas atmosphere. My french toast was yummy. It was not too soggy, and had a good eggy flavor. The apple pie was average. Service was slow.
Pros: French Toast

If its late and your looking for a place other than Denny's...This is it. Loads of choices. Good portions and tasty deserts.....There is also an ajoining lounge w/music. With the lights and decor it reminds you of Vegas.

Food is not as good as it is advertised Very expensive compared to the quality. This place is certainly not a great location to take friends for a late nite dinner or breakfast.

You gotta love the cardinal lounge. It is such a fun place to go late night and grab some well priced eats. I love that there is live music and a cocktail lounge. Very comforting. So cheesy it is chic.
