We visited here over Queens Birthday weekend. Fantastic location in the centre of town. Coffee and food good, however service very slack. Maybe they were short staffed with it being a long weekend??

Had dinner here whilst spending 1 night in Picton. Service was reasonably efficient and pleasant. Food was delivered quickly and was a good sized portion. We made a reservation, which was a good move, as the restaurant became full.

We had 2 dinners here in our 4 nights in Picton. It is situated at the harbour end of the mainstreet and seemed to have the best buzz of any of the eateries while we were there. The staff were mostly from O/S, but attentive and efficient. Menu mainly Spanish and Italian influenced. Good quality food and good sized portions,... More

We arrived late into Picton, and were most happy that we found the Café Cordado. A nice place to wind up a busy day -- full of happy diners.

My husband and I stopped here for a drink around dinner time as it looked like a popular place and had a good location and the end of town opposite waterfront. We were lucky enough to get a table on the footpath and I ordered drinks. We had spirits with coke, unfortunately the coke was flat. This was really disappointing... More

Called in for lunch. Ordered seafood chowder and a spiced tomato juice. Tomato juice arrived warm and without spice and then chowder arrived and was only warm. Lighting above bar is so cold looking that it looks like a hospital. Needs warmer lamps in it.
