Excellent experience! We went here for a small scale family celebration. The food was excellent (try the korean broccoli!!), the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were seated in the restaurant area (the bar area was noisier) and there was a live band in the bar area - played good music, but was still possible to talk. Ireland were also playing rugby that evening - we could sense the ups and downs from the bar area, but this only added to the atmosphere and was not overwhelming! We also loved the decor and spent quite some time trying to understand what made it special and how we could copy this in our own home!!

Went for a meal recently and we both had the steak ciabatta, mine with skinny fries and the other with chunky chips, the ciabatta was that overcooked we could hardly cut it and it kept flying off the plate, the steak was grey and not very appitising and the skinny fries were soft. We waited 45 minutes for our food which is way too long. We felt a bit cramped in our seats too but on a positive note the staff were friendly.

Great spot! We booked dinner & the menu was excellent - good selection with option to have a ‘meal deal ‘ two courses & a drink. All of our food was delicious & came out piping hot. Choice of cocktails was also brilliant. I had also booked the upstairs for my daughters 18th and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful from start to finish. Would totally recommend this venue. Thanks guys you all done a great job 👏

Been going to the Cardan for years, it's always hit and miss but tonight was the worst food I've ever had. It used to be such a great wee spot for a relaxed meal with friends or family. I know the cost of produce is through the roof but tonight was just deplorable quality. There's still a stale "toilet" smell on arrival as others noted in previous reviews. Service was fine but the food was unbelievable - burger had soggy onion rings and a meat pattie that I can only imagine was cooked last week then microwaved and served. It was chewy and greasey at the same time. Side salad was chopped up from a packet - certainly not like the fresh side salads I have had in the past. Chips were soaked with greese. Sweetcorn side was brown and shrivelled so I imagine it was a frozen coblet that had been reheated and plastered in butter. I won't even comment on the ribs that I had to feed my son because we were so hungry. Ate what we could, left straight after. Won't be back which is just sad because Lisburn doesn't have many bistro style places.

We picked up a very stale smell when we arrived. Place was freezing & food was less than poor. My £17.75 open steak sandwich was a piece of white bread topped with a huge pile of brown shredded iceberg lettuce, 5-6 fine strips of freezing steak, a few wafer thin mushroom slices & onions, garlic fries did not even taste of garlic. Atrocious meal, my friends ribs & corn were ice cold. The other 2 mains, a fish special & a supreme of chicken were better. We are here a few years ago many times & it was v good. Toilets were stinking & blocked. General grubby feeling to the whole venue. We won’t be back!

Have enjoyed several visits to Cardan. However was very disappointed with my main course last night. Ordered Katsu curry, it came out very dark, it had been done with soy sauce glaze. It was very salty and the chicken was onercooked. I told the waitress it was not good, and she did tell the chef. However the chef insisted it was meant to be like that, no offer of an alternative or compensation. My friends fish and chips and squid were delicious and is great value at £25 for 3 courses, so order those instead.

Really good food and atmosphere. For a Saturday night in Lisburn, there was a good buzz. Ordering a cocktail to start, these were served quickly however immediately as the drinks were set on the table we were asked to order. We asked for a few more minutes to actually enjoy our cocktail and read the menu, however we were asked to order another 4 times in what seemed like 10 minutes. I appreciate some places and people don’t mind that, and don’t like being left too long without being given the offer of ordering, however it just seemed a little pushy. However the food we ordered was perfectly cooked, the service was great apart from the initial ordering, and I would certainly be back

Went there last Friday with a friend for some pre Christmas drinks. Was there between 2pm & 7.30pm. Bar was understaffed - the number of staff seemed to fluctuate throughout the afternoon. Infuriating, but staff would appear from behind the bar and serve whoever they were closest too - not who had been waiting longest!! Pet hate! Then, having sat at a table for 2 all afternoon the staff placed a notice on our table saying it was reserved from 5.30?? Is it a bar or restaurant and who gets priority - someone who's spent money all afternoon or someone having a burger and chips who arrives 3 and a half hours later!! Wont be back!

Check your bill carefully. Ate here some time ago but didn't get around to writing a review. The food was average. Service from the waitress was fine. The problem began when management (I assume) got involved. My partner ordered a meal from the main menu and I ordered a dish from the specials board, which clearly showed the price.When the bill arrived I noticed that it seemed to be wrong and as it wasn't very clear I queried it. Que about 15 mins of waiting and speaking to someone who has no business in the hospitality industry.Having to explain their own specials board, in plain view, and the quoted price and how the items on the bill don't tally was frustrating and the fact my revised (read: correct) bill was then eventually presented without a single acknowledgement of the mistake, the waste of my time or a simple apology was disgusting.

We recently visited here and as usual the food was fantastic, although the overall experience was slightly tainted with the long delay to have our orders taken, the waitress dealing was very apologetic regarding this and did say they were very busy, although at the time there were only 3 other tables occupied in the restaurant. It had took around 20 minutes for our drinks order to be taken and then a further 35 for the food orders. We were not in all fairness waiting this long on the dinner to arrive and as I mentioned above was very nice as it always is.. hence the reason we will return again and again as we always do. I would like to add though, at the time of paying my partner had been served by what I can only imagine (due to his uniform being slightly different) as the manager/supervisor I may be incorrect and apologise but he was very rude, in how he interacted and with paying a bill of £100+ it is not difficult to show some level of customer service. I do understand that things can get stressful if you are understaffed etc, but when a customer is looking to settle a bill of this amount with no complaints you put on a brave face and be polite at least. I normally am not 1 to leave comments and would not score the restaurant down for this as I understand we all have bad days etc, but I certainly do not appreciate this sort of service

Ordered drinks and food and they came pretty quickly. Fish and chips twice, a beer and a mocktail for me which wasn't on the menu but they asked what I liked and made it anyway. The barman who made ot even came over to check it was ok. Food was fast, mocktail was good, service was cheery and pleasant. Would recommend.

The food here is pretty good but the gravy served with all mains (chicken, beef etc.) is awful.. too sweet even for duck! It’s way too overpowering and ruins any meal it accompanies.. I suspect they have heard this before as you are offered the option of having it all over or on the side.. I just felt compelled to write this review in the hopes that they ditch it, and please make specific gravies (chicken, beef) for each meal instead of this sickly sweet overly strong one!

Great wee bar with a seperate restaurant. We've dined here many times and have never had a bad meal. Food is reasonably priced and always well cooked and presented. Their Sunday roasts are excellent. Service is brilliant. You can book a table online too which is handy.

Interesting place deceiving from the outside a lot better inside and clean. We had salt and chilli chicken salad with truffle chips really good and plenty of it. Staff on the ball with glasses of wine but not hovering over you. We will go back.

We stopped off in Lisburn on the way to Donegal. Delicious starters and we both had the salmon with risotto and samphire.

Have never had a bad meal in here. We visit often and all of us always enjoy our meals. The kids especially enjoy the ribs The scones during the day are worth a try as well. Well done!

Loved the variety of the menu. Appreciated that they had a menu for vegetarians in addition to the main menu - also with good variety of choices. Delicious food and very helpful and friendly service.

Absolutely love their strawberry daiquiris...they are amazing!!! Can honestly say they are the best in Lisburn! Food is great here as well (can be quite expensive though!) Great bar with a fantastic selection of spirits/drinks.

We haven't been to the Cardan in Lisburn for a while. We used to be regulars but we lost the habit. When I got an 8:00 o'clock slot on a Saturday night, I was looking forward to it. The bar and restaurant were both busy which always gives a nice buzz to a place. A vodka and coke with a pint cost £9.60. There I've said it. Our table was ready so we sat down and we're soon attended to by a lovely girl. Another chap was directing things very efficiently. He's a real asset to the place. Steak and chips for both of us. I ordered a medium rare ribeye. It was perfect. We managed to get the last panna cotta. I couldn't believe it was on the menu. Isn't supposed to one of the most difficult things to make, but there it was. Once again, perfect and a delight to the eye. We left happy. Lisburn needs places like this.

I have had several meals in Square One since last year and they all have been cooked to perfection with great taste… This is a country bar/restaurant where locals eat and drink…and always have a friendly word for visitors! Music most weekends and as always when there is music and it’s not too loud it creates a great atmosphere.. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
