Services
All our steaks are seasoned with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, then flame broiled. 3 House Dipping Sauces: Chimichuri, Bearnaise, Creamy Horseradish. Choice of 2 side dishes. These items may contain raw or undercooked ingredients. All our meats are humanely raised, free of hormones or antibiotics.
We have taken great care to curate a wine list that features a variety of growing regions, grapes, and styles of wine making. We have also aimed to step outside of that which is overly familiar to offer our guests something new and different to explore. Our Beer Selection has been curated with a sense of great care and discernment.

The place is cute and hip, easy to find with parking right on the side of the place. They have warming lamps and a few fire place set ups around the outside. The vibe and aesthetic is great.
The were short staffed that night the waitress we had was hustling but we did have to wait awhile to order and then to receive our drinks (not her fault).
I ordered a drink and it was really good, I can't remember the name but it had the perfect amount of alcohol and flavor. I was disappointed with ahi tuna which was supposed to be spicy and wasn't at all. The tuna itself tasted bland. I felt like

HUMILIATED in front my first date when a waiter asked for my drivers license on the credit card for payment of $50+ dollars. Never in my life at age 75 who dine fine restaurants was so embarrassed in front of her, as if I looked like a homeless to waiter named Fernandez. We went there to relax and leave happier but left in stress and with bad taste of food.
After paying I went to front desk and requested the hostess to speak to manager, she called him and he promised to be there in 2 minutes. Alas after waiting for few more minutes, he never showed up, so I left message with the hostess to tell

I’ve been here twice. Both times left much to be desired. The first time was for a birthday with a small group of adults. The service was so horrible that people we routinely left our table to go to the bar to get drinks. The food was cold by the time we received it.
The second time I went with my better half and kids. We were seated in a booth. The seat cushion was so worn out that there was a permanent indentation where I sat. Also, despite having a small kids menu, the food wasn’t exactly kid friendly. The mac and cheese was too fancy and the spaghetti came without sauce. When I asked for

This place USED to be good. Did they change management? Why is it so awful now?! Please refer to the pics of my $10 tacos which consisted of a ice cube sized fish piece covered in fried batter to deceive its already small portion, bland cabbage slaw and a lovely soggy tortilla to top this miserable masterpiece off. Thank goodness I was so hungry I made myself eat cold, triple soaked in oil "truffle" fries. If I wasn't already blown away by the taste of this exquisite dog food I would have been thrilled by the flavorless aioli. Service was good after being sat down. Never again.

Very good food and service. I have always enjoyed my experience here but have only gone for brunch and lunch. It is a little over priced and dinner is moderately expensive.
Went for lunch today and they were closed. A small sign states that they are only open for dinner starting at 4:00pm. The website doesn't show any change in hours. We were disappointed and probably won't be back for their expensive dinner. The least this restaurant could do is update the hours on their website.

I spent three months in the Claremont area for work and visited Bardot MANY times. In fact, I took anyone who came to visit there, and would consider it one of my top five favorite restaurants of all time. Really nice patio, the service is always great, excellent sangria (a must), and consistently delicious food. While the pappardelle and beef short ribs were personal favorites, the fettuccine, fries, goat cheese lollipops, macaroni, and creme brûlée's were also all very good. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the Claremont area - and I would also recommend making a

The customer service was great. The waitress was amazing. I don't remember her name but she had orange hair. The food was delicious and our entire party of 9, loved the food. We celebrated my girlfriends birthday. The only bummer is that we could not make reservations the same day. It was a lovely time. 😍

We always come here. We like the ambiance the food and the service. I have almost tried everything in the menu. My favorite is the mussel served with bread. Also the pork chop is my husbands favorite here.
We celebrated my moms bday. We got crème burlee and chocolate lava for desserts and coffee is fresh all the time. Great place good food!

I will start with my drink it was delish bloody merry was one of the best ones I have tried. Breakfast was a bit on the plain side, I'm used to be wow with the places I visit. I may have to try dinner.
My husband wanted to try the crab plate and they didn't have any crab that day, so this added to he's disappointment. My daughter's eggs an bacon plain too . I'll recommend the cocktails as this was the high light of our experience here.
I didn't try the waffles and they looked delicious... maybe if I should have order them I would have a different option.

We came here couple months ago to celebrate with our families on a Sunday around 10:30 am. We tried to make a reservation over the phone but since we were more than 8 people in our party (17) people we had to make the reservation online via email. It looked like a hassle but the person in charge was able to accommodate us which was good. This restaurant was very busy when we arrived.
Upon arrival we checked in with the restaurant and they told us they were getting our table ready. Our server was very courteous and attentive to our needs. He took the drink orders and then took our food order right

Came for dinner on a Saturday night, and enjoyed the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. It has a more modern feel with a great central bar and decadent outdoor seating accompanied with heaters!
I had the Gorgonzola Burger and Truffle Fries which was tempered with a good flavor. Service was decent but at times a little awkward, where the wait staff didn't know all the details of the menu or drinks.

We had a reservation so easily got seated outside in the patio area. Server was really nice but didn't catch her name. Lunch menu didn't start until 3pm which we thought was super odd. Knocking off a star for the mega-mosa with peach juice because it tasted closer to a slightly fruity beer than like a mimosa with peach juice.
Off the brunch menu I got the croque madame which is toasted bread filled with lots of gruyère cheese, ham, and a little béchamel sauce and then an egg to top it off. It was delicious. You can eat the egg separately or pop the yolk by splitting the croque madame

I met some dear friends at Bardot for dinner on Saturday. We had 7:30 pm reservations and were seated promptly on the patio- a perfect spot on a late September evening, during our ongoing pandemic. It was a little chilly, but once night fell, the heaters came on, and it was a perfect temp the rest of the night.
We started with cocktails and the cheese plate. The cocktails: Moscow mule; spicy margarita; house Sangria, were all delicious. The cheese plate had Bleu, Goat, and Brie Cheeses. It was served on a round board with fig jam and sliced bread. Beautiful to look at (see my picture) and

I've been here a few times for brunch and once for dinner. This place is always super busy so I recommend trying to make reservations ahead of time or show up early to put your name on the waitlist. The seating area inside is very cute with their oversized seats. They also have a large, shaded outdoor seating area with misters on hot days. Street parking is available but gets filled up quickly on the weekends.
I thought the "Egg Dishes" options on their brunch menu were very basic. I was hoping their menu would be more interesting since they are such a popular establishment. We

Always love coming to Bardot. I have only come here during work lunches so I cannot speak for what it might be like in the evening time. Both times I came for lunch I was sitting outside. They have misters outside, so if you are hot you are covered. Even on a hot day, with covering and shade, it is nice. The wait is never really long to get seated around that time.
I ordered different things on the items and I will say, nothing is bad on the menu thus far from the things I have tried. The prices range from $15-25 depending on what you order on the lunch menu - entree-wise.
Would recommend coming

Overall really loved this place and would recommend. I am taking off a star because the flies were ALL OVER outside on the patio, hard to keep them off your food and because the steak tartar was beyond bland and not anywhere near worth $17. There was nothing redeeming about that dish.
But let's get to the good:
Came in and started at the bar where my Barman was AMAZING! I'm a super picky mix drink drinker and he made the BEST espresso martini I have had away from my house. It could have been bigger for $11 but 5 stars for flavor and foam.
We moved outside for dinner and our server

Overall the food is good but average.
The drinks and salmon rillettes was the best things that I ate.
The Baltimore crab burger had potential but the crab cake was too breaded & mixed with the bun was a bit much.
The Duck Taco was well seasoned & flavorful.
The Caramelized Apple Tart Tatin was good but would’ve been better served with ice cream.
