Sooo good. Everything was made to perfection.

Omg! Compare to other places we have gone. By far the best quality food and Prices!! I am Shocked this place is not full to the brim. So calming and spacious. Can't wait to come back.

Cheap

It's easy to just drive by this place, but I was getting my car serviced down the street and decided to walk down to this diner. I would consider this place to be a hole in the wall, but don't let the exterior ambiance fool you. The omelette was cooked just right and super affordable compared to all the other veggie omelette out there. Staff is super nice and chill.

Outdoor patio

Service was very friendly and the prices are very reasonable. The place was clean and comfortable. They have healthy options and serve breakfast for lunch as well. I would recommend it if you're ok with their silverware being a bit low budget.

Ming and Lisi are worth the trip here. A mom and pops type of restaurant. Great for groups or intimate breakfast catch up with your loved ones. Or, if you craving some great service, delicious food and sincerity, get over here. Now, let's stalk about their homemade hot sauce (which you can purchase to take home).....delish! Shake it on everything for immediate elevated flavor!! Bathrooms are clean, outdoor patio if you wanna see the street and trees or sit inside to revel at their lovely art collection. It's a place that feels at home which is difficult this day and age with everything , "Scan your own food." Looking forward to a return and please support small local businesses like this!

Country fried steak  and my girlfriend eggs on top really small plate if you ask me

The environment and atmosphere and decoration was nice and cool on hot days but not big on portions. Breakfast is time to eat lol but here country fired stake was not as big and not to filling. Nice place for mom and daughter. Not family

Very yummy. Nice thick slice of ham

My first time at Mozwell Claremont and I had a wonderful experience! I came for Wednesday Jazz…read moreNight and West Coast Standard was fantastic. I loved the classic '40s and '50s jazz and especially enjoyed the QR code on the table that gave information and fun facts about each song being played. Such a unique touch! The shrimp tacos were delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and both the bartender and waitress were friendly and attentive. Great music, great food, and great service. I'll definitely be back!

I came for the experience but left gravely disappointed. Not all it's cut out to be. Don't promote…read moremodern upscale if you are going to serve drinks in plastic cups and skip the garnish. If you are concerned about people dropping their glassware perhaps you are bringing in the wrong crowd or need to rethink your night time activities. It is especially a bad look when someone is getting arrested on your patio. Service is terrible. Bartender served the scantily clad woman before serving me and the gentleman next to me who ordered a simple old fashion only 5 mins before woman and her party arrived. Overpriced mediocre drinks. Maybe the good reviews are for their food and/or daytime service but certainly not deserving of a nice night out for drinks. Money poorly spent here.

The food is wonderful I love the fact they don't use sead oils. It's close to my home so I walk…read morethere some days. Sadly they are a bit pricey for the average retiree. 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!
