    Breakfast burrito
    Melissa F.

    Have been here multiple times with family and this place is a hit or miss with the service. Sometimes we'll get a great server , another time our server is MIA so it's very inconsistent. The food is good for the most part which is what keeps us coming back. We ordered the goat cheese balls for appetizer and were very good but too small of a portion. The Peruvian ceviche is what I always order because it doesn't disappoint. The breakfast burrito was OK. Not the best, pretty basic burrito. Wouldn't order again. Overall, cool place to have drinks and small bites.

    Such a beautiful little diner style brunch spot with a cute little patio! Tiffany, our server ( ask for her section on Saturdays) was wonderful at answering our questions and helping us decide on a whistlepig specialty bourbon blend made specifically for Bardot and one of the best cups of coffee I've had in my life made my Omari gourmet coffee and tea. We ordered the French toast and famous creme brulee waffle along with a side of bacon . The creme brulee waffle is such a unique experience,you simply must order it . I will be coming back soon for brunch with my friends and hope to try their eggs benedict which looked amazing . Thank you for your warm hospitality and exquisite flavors.

    We chose this as a lunch after my grandma's memorial service. I really enjoy their outside eating area so you can really take in downtown Claremont. We were served quickly. Our server was very nice. A couple of us ordered some drinks and a couple had some coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't capture photos of half of the food because everybody ate so quickly because the food is delicious. I would say the star of the show is their special warm Asian chicken salad. The sauce is phenomenal. The chicken is great and everything really comes together in that dish. The grilled chicken on top of the Caesar salad was also great and not dried out. Two people in our party ordered the pork chop and it is huge and a generous portion and it comes bone in. Also not pictured is the Manila clam chowder and that is amazing in itself if you chose to do the soup and salad option.

    Ambiance: 6 / 10 There's indoor tables around the bar as well as giant headboard booths for a more private feel and they have a large covered patio with great community views for those desiring to dine al fresco. A little older on style but quaint. Im sure at night with fire-pit nearby and giant lamps on, wonderful & cozy Service: 8 / 10 Attentive, checked on us, offered suggestions that worked out. Surprised us with birthday cakes!! ( Mother in-laws & mine) Food: Duck Tacos - 8 / 10 Surprisingly great flavor and would order again for quick bite if I came back Tuna Tartare - 5 / 10 Happy they chose to pair with wonton chips, but the sauce and the flavor altogether just missed the mark. Shocked to say that Lime & Salt & even Yard House blew this app out of the water. Manila Clam Chowder: 7 / 10 Chunky, creamy, but too Salty. They added bacon not chopped up in the chowder, but instead thrown on top as if it fell onto the bowl on it's way out of the kitchen prep (see pic) Calamari: 7 / 10 Basic breading and could have been better if sauces paired were complimentary but they were not. They offered 1 sauce that just tasted like a watered down Zested shallot, the other I think is like a thinned out marinara. Both did not enhance the app, but actually made it less appetizing. Fresh Pappardelle w/Chicken: 5 / 10 Great portion of protein to pasta, but heavily lacked flavor. I've had pasta with no sauce, just simple olive oil, but this dish...not like those. Unfortunately, tasted bland. Wild Alaskan Salmon: 8 / 10 It was crispy but not sure if that was what they were going for or it was a tad overcooked. But the flavor was great, quinoa pairing worked. I get the need for colorful presentation too, but they could have gone w/less tomatoes and instead more of the mangos & perhaps added cucumbers for a more fresh & colorful approach Chilean Seabass: 7 / 10 Description was "Pepper crusted..saffron Asparagus Risotto...Orange Glaze w\Vanilla Bean cream sauce" First bite was like a basic white fish. 4 bites later, then I finally tasted a hint of pepper crust (not all over as I hoped because it enhanced the flavor so much!) The Asparagus risotto base was a huge disappointment--I would have enjoyed this fish more with roasted veggies, because I was hyped up to experience an 'Orange glaze w/Vanilla bean cream sauce " in the risotto, but instead tasted like bland porridge with 2 bits of asparagus chunks that I think they could have left out. It was a shame, I also did not taste any orange glaze anything. *For such a high price point on these main entrees and salads-- I had expectations for their dishes to be refined & elevated. This would work best at a $22/plate experience not the $50+ range they are charging.

    My Great Dane, January...wanting those duck tacos! So good.

    Excellent duck tacos and French onion soup. Excellence in service with great people running the place. So much great food on the menu. I highly recommend this place.

    I love all the eateries in Claremont but Bardot is one of the favorites. Super cute patio dining area for dining al fresco or a more intimate dining indoors. Our brunch was data stick and Emilio our server was friendly, attentive and gave great service! Perfect spot for a girls day, date night or group gathering. Must try the Oscar Benedict! Superb!

    parmesan & truffle fries
    Katie L.

    My friend said this was the best meal he's had in a long time! The lamb was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned! My friend said the min jelly was good, and the mashed potatoes were buttery! I had the portobello sandwich, which was so fresh! The burrata was amazing! We both thought the truffle fries were too subtle and the garlic aioli didn't have much flavor, but at least they were crispy and not oily! Service was wonderful :) We had chosen to have the first-available table and were informed we would be seated at a high-top, but they actually upgraded us to a nice outdoor table with a great view! Our waiter was helpful with recommendations for how to cook the lamb, and said he would choose the slightly more rare option so they could cook it more according to our tastes (it ended up being perfect!) A server came to refill our waters right before we needed! Wait time on a Saturday night at 6pm was about 30-45 minutes, which wasn't too bad!

    I ate at Bardot years ago, and had a good experience. We returned to have a little afternoon bite to eat and a round of drinks. Bardot is located in downtown Claremont, right on a corner. We were able to easily find a parking spot on the street right around the corner. Parking can be more of a challenge during prime time. They have a real nice covered outdoor patio, two different dining areas inside, and seating at the bar. We were greeted by a very friendly host who seated us immediately in a booth per our request. It was a nice surprise to see that they still have a special Christmas cocktail menu in effect. I had the Rhub The Right Way (Vanilla Cream Cheese Vodka, Rhubarb Liqueur, Cinnamon Vanilla Syrup, Strawberry, Lemon, Egg White, Graham Cracker Rim, $18). The vanilla and strawberry flavors stood out to me with some creaminess. It has a nice level of sweetness ,and it definitely drinks more like a regular cocktail, than a desert drink. The bartender stopped by to see if I liked it since it was his creation. I definitely enjoyed it. She had the Under The Mistletoe (St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, Vanilla, Cinnamon Syrup, Champagne, Soda Water, Glitter, Cranberries, Rosemary, $18). This was light and refreshing, and not overly bubbly. The champagne, pear, and cinnamon flavors were noticeable. The Goat Cheese Lollipops ($14) definitely caught our eye on the appetizer menu. The plate comes with four panko crusted lollypops on a bed of honey and roasted almonds. The goat cheese has a nice tang, and the sweetness of the honey pairs with it perfectly. The panko crust and almonds give a nice little crunch. We also had the Crab Cakes ($24). The crab cakes were good. We added a little salt on top which made them a little better. They come with a pretty good sized serving of coleslaw on top for some freshness. Our server, Roger, was very friendly and provided good service. We told him we were just hanging out enjoying the afternoon and in no rush, and he checked in on us just the right amount.

    Scallops
    Julian R.

    Been coming here for years... These days im a sit at the bar and get a Paloma made. Bartenders are always very cool and full of conversation if it permits. They read the room well. Scallops were cooked perfectly, flavors are almost required and fresh. Usually other places will take a rich tasting approach and I always love how they have balanced this with their particular style of scallops. All in all it's still a great go to place in the area.

    duck tacos
    Nina N.

    painkiller and blueberry lemon drop were solid drinks. food was mediocre honestly. truffle fries were plain, i didn't taste any truffle. my duck tacos were lacking; they added shreds of orange peel to it which i did end up liking. baked brie was interesting! i've never had it as a wrapped puff pastry so i did enjoy that. staff are friendly and our waitress checked in on us adequately. loved the ambiance of the place with fire pits and outdoor patio seating!

    This place is cute and is hidden in a little college village between two highways. The food is fresh and delish! The service is friendly and kind. The staff works together to ensure all requests are met. The price points are competitive and its great place for any occasion. The next time I am in Claremont I will return to try some of the other dishes. Street Parking only. Side note the area the restaurant is in is Picturesque with a warn feeling.....

    Goat Cheese Lollipops
    courtney c.

    This is one of my bestie's favorite, local spots, and is quickly becoming one of mine. Service is always excellent and the food and drinks always hit. We usually enjoy a few of the appetizers and maybe an entree between the two of us... and of course a few cocktails or mimosas. Those fried goat cheese lollipops with the slivered almonds and honey is something I think about fondly. Thank you to the management team, and most importantly the chefs, line cooks, servers and bartenders for maintaining such a wonderful restaurant!!

    Without fail Bardot restaurant located at 206 W. Bonita Ave has impressed us again. Today they were a little busy, but nevertheless, the staff and the major D are completely accommodating when we arrive. We only get smiling faces. They're so wonderful to us. We got the table that we wanted and the food is absolutely exquisite. The salmon, the Seabass, the filet mignon in the appetizers are amazing. This is our staple go to place Only. We want a really home-cooked style meal on another level. This is a five star restaurant and the chef takes his culinary expertise very serious. Not just the food, but what keeps us coming back is the amazing team at this restaurant they are personable and they are wonderful and they have great personalities. This is a breath of fresh air. If you're going on a first date or if you have family in town or if you just wanna sit down by yourself and have a really great lunch brunch or dinner put bar Bardot restaurant at 206 W. Bonita Ave. in Claremont on your radar! Bardot get my five star Yelp review and my personal recommendation! Bon appétit!

I do wish they were a bit more affordable or had a senior menu but the food is prepared nicely and always taste delicious. My one negative gripe is the music it's just way too loud and not appropriate for people my age to want to stay and order more. I have spoke to friends of mine and we all agree the music is not appropriate for this style of restaurant even classical works but top 40 pop is a bit much and detracts from the French theme vibe. Some French Music would make this place a dream. Since it is a French themed restaurant. Or at least appears to be. But the contemporary music deflects away from the French vibe and atmosphere. So I give a thumbs down on the loud music ie. minus a star. However I feel changing the music only would add to the ambience and the vibe of the place, just my opinion. However, sadly due to the Music, I choose sit outside but when your my age with this heat being so awful it would be so nice to sit inside with the air-conditioner with nice refreshing music. I will cross my fingers it gets better as I would eat there every day. On the upside there is one lovely tall dark haired fair girl at the counter who looks very French and has a European vibe about her aura she just makes the place. She is so kind and welcoming. I have gone in very stressed a couple times and her demeanor is so calm and sweet she makes me feel welcome and appreciated and diffuses my stress level every time. Very few people nowadays have that kind of charm. She doesn't make me feel rushed or brushed off like most service people. I just adore her energy she has the best manners and eloquence of any waitress in Claremont. I'm always happy when I see she's working. I wish I could pronounce her name I think it's Bree or Bly or something like that. Also they definitely need name tags too. But the food is very good.

We were fine with it, and were given two menus and told to sit anywhere we wanted. After 15 minutes, no servers had come out to take drink orders or anything, so my boyfriend went inside to ask if someone could come take our order. I looked around the patio area and realized there were two other tables whose patrons were there before us, waiting for drinks and service, just like we were. One of them was fanning herself with the menu, as it was close to 100° outside. (There are no misters on the patio, just a slight breeze now and then. And, if you sit near the patio entrance, you should know that the huge dryer vents from the adjacent hotel are pushing hot air into the patio.) My boyfriend came back and said that he was told "someone will be out soon", and he noticed that all the servers were watching the soccer game inside. We waited another minute or so, and decided to leave and find another place for lunch. We were so glad we left...we ended up at Gus's BBQ across the way, and OMG...save yourself the trouble of the weak menu & non-existent service at The Back Abbey and walk over to Gus's. You won't regret it!
