You would not expect to find a trendy restaurant like Cardwell's located in a mall. The decor is open and sunny with a large bar that is a popular meeting spot for an upscale West County clientele. The fare features an eclectic mix of California and Mediterranean-style cuisines. One specialty is the Mediterranean Sampler, an impressively large platter with feta cheese, couscous salad, a roasted head of garlic, olive bread and Sicilian eggplant relish. The popular four-cheese pizza is topped with goat cheese. Try the Profiteroles for dessert.
