MEDITERRANEAN
RESTAURANT
CARDOON MEDITERRANEAN
2479 Adler Ct., Seaford
516-785-2390
www.cardoonny.com
After working in some of the highest acclaimed
kitchens in the world, Stephen Rosenbluth
brought his talents to Long Island when he and
his wife Jennifer opened Anchor Down Seafood
in Merrick in 2014. Anchor Down was instantly
a success, it is loved by the locals and brings city
slickers to the South Shore. Chef Jason DeLeo
joined the Anchor Down team in 2016 helming
the kitchen and bringing a fresh perspective to
the venture. Cardoon was born when Jennifer
felt that Long Island was lacking Mediterranean
cuisine, with its rich variety of seafood and
vegetarian options, on the water and brought the
idea to Jason and Stephen. Jennifer along with
designer Joseph DeVito of White House Home
transformed the waterside space into a serene
Mediterranean mecca! Culinary Masterminds
Jason & Stephen are bringing delight to every
table with their cutting-edge menu that has
every guest wanting seconds.
