Cardero's has a soft place in our hearts. My first date with my wife was there about 4 and a half years ago. We've kept going over the years but last night will keep us away for a while. We got married the night before and we wanted to celebrate with a few friends before they left. First a water glass was accidentally broken in our table and of course all water spilled on our party. We took it lightly and we were still pumped for the place but the waitress was so awkward even though we tried to make her feel ok. She ended up abandoning our table. She offered to get bread and 15 minutes later no one came. I had to call another waiter to get us the bread which was cold and after that I had to call another waiter to get us water. 40 minutes after we ordered, we asked a different server to check on our food, then only one person's food was brought out. 15 minutes after that, the initial waitress came saying she forgot to put in the other 4 orders?! She then brought her manager who was literally grinding her next to us which made us extremely uncomfortable. The manager later came and apologized and filled our glasses with a bit of wine then left. There was no effort to make up for the mess of an evening. We debated just leaving but then the food came. Food was mediocre that day which never is on a usual basis. Too bad since we love that place.
