Mozart’s

We came here because we had a gift card. I ordered a Belgian waffle with fruit. The waffle was really good and our server was attentive. But I paid $ 2.95 for a fruit cup that was about the size of a ¼ cup. The fruit cup was definitely a rip off.
They also sprayed weed killer on the sidewalk while we ate outside and the smell was horrible.

I took my daughter here for an afternoon tea around Christmas last year and everything was amazing… the food, the service, the entire experience. We had such a nice time and everything was absolutely perfect!

I went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to see a live piano player. The menu had many choices. I however chose a light selection, fresh fruit with yogurt and homemade granola. My lunch mate had beef stroganoff. The portion was of a good size and the price was fair. The service was ok. I need to come back and try their desserts. They looked fabulous.

Wiener Schnitzel is excellent. Ham and Spätzle is a misnomer, really Spätzle with a hint of ham garnish. Good, rich, but disappointing as it’s basically a pasta dish.

This is a pretty neat place. The food taste delicious and the people are nice. They have an impressive bakery as well, and a piano bar. The price is reasonable and will hurt you less than an applebee’s. The hungarian goulash is awesome as appetizer (probably will make you full already). For main course, I ordered chicken strudel with ratatouille, my friend had a veal schnitzel. The atmosphere is nice and classy, and if you are looking for a place for your next date, this would be a good choice!

Great food & atmosphere. Unfortunately very poor service. Waitress would disappear for 15 minutes at a time. Sat with empty coffee cups. Ordered a glass of water twice which never came! Finally refilled my wife’s iced tea with only gave her half a glass of warm tea and no ice! I realize it’s Mothers Day but still…,

Enjoyed the atmosphere last time we visited.
Yes amazing bakery and sweets options as well.
However, we were in for brunch and their breakfast menu is very limited. We tried two different options and they were not that tasty. Coffee was mediocre, maybe because we ordered americanos and it was not as rich as expected. Give this place a 4 star for sweets and atmosphere. Oh and live piano music was nice too.

Food, environment, live piano music, and the goulash soup– all perfect. Owner is always around and a great man who takes pride in his work. My go to place for large family gatherings.

Visiting family in the Columbus area this fabulous restaurant came highly recommended., it did not disappoint. Food was excellent, there were five so we had various brunch items. Service was on point (thank-​you Wade). Absolutely loved the live piano music!

Well where should I begin. We wine in expecting a fine Victorian tea, however what we received we below par. We asked to move tables due to the fact that we felt crammed into a larger version of a bathroom hallway. The tea got cold fast, the scones were bitter, not fresh, and there was no butter in sight. Next, the sandwiches were lame. They were all on the same type of bread, cold, and lacked imagination. Then when dessert came, or should I say «when the Pepperidge farm cookies came», I couldn’t even finish them, despite the fact that I will eat any dessert that comes my way. Onto the atmosphere, yes the «live» pianists were talented, the 12, yes 12, year old was in his sweatpants and his obscene mother was running her pie hole nonstop and the older gentleman would begin to play, then quite casually stop and play a recording. Mozart would concur this café does not deserve to be named after such a refined person.

Thank you for the fine job you did in hosting my group of 14 for lunch on Sunday. It was elegant, efficient, and delicious. Many members of my party said it was the highlight of their weekend. Please share with Janelle and Emily what a lovely time we had.

Smoked salmon sandwich was ok, except it came on the same focaccia they gave us prior to the meal. Wiener schnitzel was good. I had a passion fruit martini = horrible! I swapped it out for a Cosmo = terrible. I was too afraid after that to order dessert.

We came here for my little brother’s birthday. It’s was very nice. The crowd is a mix of younger locals and older regulars. This would be perfect for a date though. I don’t know if it’s every night but there was a live pianist playing top 40 hits from the 70s and 80s; you know… Chicago, Billy Joel, Journey.
The food was pretty good. I had the Wiener schnitzel. I’ve never had it before so I have no frame of reference but it was similar to a country fried steak. They also have a bakery out front. We didn’t get anything from the bakery but it all looked delicious. This place is great for any occasion.

Stopped in today at 10 and got the best breakfast sandwich ever! Good hot coffee and a very classy atmosphere. The owner was very accommodating and service was awesome. If you get a chance check out this little gem in clintonville. You will not be disappointed! I will be taking the wife to dinner one night for the great piano bar atmosphere!

I preferred Mozart’s old South Clintonville location. It was within walking distance from my home; it was quant, cozy and sweet; seemed more like a true café than their new venue. As a growing business they wanted to expand to have a private event area, more seating, more off-​site parking and a more intense menu. I miss the charm and my morning stop for coffee every now and then. That being said though, I will not rate on my nostalgia. The food continues to be very good, from soup to sandwiches to warm entrees. I’ve never had a bad meal here and the service is very friendly. The prices are a little pricier than you’d think for a lunch. I’ve never had their dinner as I feel like for the price, it would need to be a special occasion. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to partake in their pastries or sweets, aside from a chocolate truffle I had when I first moved to town. It was very good! Their presentation is beautiful in their pastry case, so I am sure they’re delicious. My nephew loves their chocolate chip cookies!

Mozarts is a charming restaurant/​bakery in the Clintonville area. The ambience is lovely with piano music playing in the background. This was my first visit here — my wife had been here and had recommended it highly.
We ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches and decided to share it. I think it is called the Tyrelean special. This was HUGE. Eggs, potatoes, ham, and some other meats plus bread. It was split up inside the kitchen which was a nice touch.
The problem however was that the food itself was not particularly tasty. For one the meats were more like deli meats rather than carved. The potatoes were good but a little too salty, and the bread was just side wheat toast. Everything together didn’t work particularly well.
Unfortunately, we were too full to try their desserts, so we brought some home instead.
Having said this, I did see some other dishes like the quiche, omelettes, etc. that looked really good. So I’ll definitely give this restaurant anther try.

At Mozarts yesterday and had a horrible lunch! There were 5 of us and 2 of us got the special and it was so dry we could hardly eat it. Two others food was extremely salty.
The waitress ask how our meal was and 2 of us told her how it was and she agreed it even looked dry. We paid full price. That’ s my second experience with a lousy meal, I won’t be back and neither will my friends.

Went to Mozarts with my wife and daughter and we were extremely impressed with both the food and the service. I think our waitress’s name was Halley who was very attentive and gave extremely good service. I got the special, I believe it was Vol au vent, a pastry shell with a caper sauce, artichoke hearts and some other good stuff. My daughter got the Chicken Paprikash and my wife got a Belgium Waffle. Everything was delicious, but that didn’t compare to the desserts which were out of this world. I got the Esterhazy torte and my wife and daughter the Sonata torte. Wow. Everything was very reasonably priced, and the piano music in the background added to the ambiance nicely. The Piano player takes requests if you slip him some cash, he deserves it.

We had a great meals for a reasonable price. Wiener schnitzel and their chicken special, both were very good. The staff treated us great. As you walk in there is a huge desert counter with anything you could want. When we are back we will be back.

Mozart was quite possibly the BEST restaurant we went to in Columbus.
We went there for breakfast. Their breakfast pastries were fresh and delicious. We ordered an Almond Croissant. It was flaky with generous sprinkles of almonds and a delicious almond spread.
Their scones were huge! I ordered a Walnut Cranberry scones and was in heaven! The scones were moist and flavorful. I totally did not need butter or jam. This was as far as you can get from the dry scones that Starbucks serves.
Their breakfast menu was extensive and quite impressive. I ordered a spinach omelet and was very pleased to see that it was cooked beautifully.
Kids had their own special menu. The owner thoughtfully had a section filled with Legos and books for kids as they waited for their food. Wonderful wonderful place! We will definitely be back!

I planned a surprise 60^th birthday party in May at Mozart’s for my dad. Everything was wonderful. The set up was very cute. We had a very nice room in the back to make the surprise even more special. The food was good and the service was wonderful. Thanks to Janelle for all her assistance in planning this event.
I would def go back to visit or plan another party. My guests and I also enjoyed the café. We all got gelato as well as we left. Loved this place.

Mozart’s is a fine example of a five-​star business. I’ve visited their new, much larger location several times now. I love it.
The atmosphere makes you forget about busy High St just outside. Piano music fills the air, sometimes played live by a skilled older gentleman — tipping him was a no-​brainer. The interior is a combination of open spaces and more intimate enclosed rooms. You can reserve a space for large parties.
The pastries and desserts are still stunningly good. The marzipan peach is STILL my favorite. I love the selection of things you get for afternoon tea. Just make a reservation!
Other than the new (renovated) building, the biggest improvement is the food itself. The food at the old location was consistently 3 to 4 stars. Now, it is consistently 4 to 5 stars. Excellent work!

My husband and I had breakfast here one day recently, and it was a bit different, but very interesting. It was one of the specials that day. It was a biscuit with sausage gravy, 2 fried eggs, and a pork schnitzel. The pork schnitzel was excellent. The eggs were, well, eggs (that’s a compliment — I love eggs, but there was nothing especially unique about them), and the sausage gravy was fair. We split the meal and added a side of potatoes. The potatoes had a nice flavor in the seasoning, but a little less seasoning would have been preferable. Our order was definitely a sufficient amount for two, so splitting the meal kept it within our budget. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Overall a good enough experience that I would definitely return.

I am a regular at Mozart’s. I come with friends, with family, attend parties, and sometimes just stop in for a drink or a cup of coffee. I have *never* received anything but polite, prompt service, am always greeted warmly at the door, and neither the food or pastries ever disappoint.
Probably my favorite thing about Mozart’s is that you can show up in flip flops or dressed to the nines and are treated well no matter what.
I often bring my son with me, and he loves that he can play with the Legos. The staff is always incredibly friendly to him, letting him pick out ice cream and even taking a turn working the hostess stand.
In addition to the fantastic food and service, the owners are tirelessly devoted to the community, and provide a lovely venue for fundraisers and other community events. I also know that if any experience is subpar for any reason, they will go above and beyond to rectify the situation and make every attempt to retain their customers.
I simply can not say enough about this place. Give it a try — you won’t be disappointed!

Came in with a group of friends to use a groupon for their afternoon tea. We were late and came in slightly before 4pm but they had no qualms about it despite tea technically ending at 4, we were seated and or waitress was lovely and explained the whole process to us. You take your time and when everyone is finished they will bring out the next course so it’s a slow event where you get to enjoy your company and sip and snack.
The food was very good, the tea was suitable, the mimosas were nice, and I adore that they don’t rush you. They also didn’t seem to treat us any differently for having a groupon which was very nice.
There was an a abundance of parking and a delicious and gorgeous looking pastry display on the way in. There is also a self playing grand piano for while you dine!
It was a wonderful experience and I would do it again and recommend it to others!

I’m a little scared to write a so so review as from the other reviews apparently the owners stalk bad reviewers.
The food just didn’t pop and I could get the same thing many places. True I got a turkey club… kinda basic… and, again, nothing wrong with it. Just when you hear of a place for years you expect to be wowed.
The décor is pretty awful. It’s a huge place but I felt like I was back in a restaurant I worked at in the late 80’s.
It seemed like a very old place so I thought maybe the owners were in their 70’s or something. Apparently not. There was a piano player also which, to me, also seemed very dated. The menu also was very old fashioned.
The pastries looked delicious and I bought one for later. I have yet to try it but will.
So this is the thing with a place like this: Will I go back? No. Not because it was bad but because there are so many other restaurants that are much more innovative and good in a city like Columbus.
Update: I moved my rating from a 2 to a 3 because the chocolate/​carmel/​peanut tart was AWESOME. But the extra star is just for the bakery portion.

When Mozart’s opened its new location, there was plenty of excitement. Would they be able to keep the intimate feel from their previous location (currently home to Harvest Clintonville), and would the expansion be good for business? Looks like the answer to both of those questions is yes. Partitioning the large space into a flowing set of rooms, one can have dinner, stop in for dessert, attend a music event, or hold a reception at Mozart’s. The bright display of pastries, cakes and cookies remains temptingly near the entry, which is at once comfortable and open.
Mozart’s serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Definitely order a breakfast croissant for melt-​in-​your-​mouth savory flavor. They have many options, from sandwiches to breakfast platters. Lunch and dinner options are varied, but once again, a suggestion — the weiner schnitzel is wonderful, as is their salmon salad.
Save room, though — you can’t talk of Mozart’s without talking about their sweets. First off, they have the BEST ice cream in town. Sorry, Jeni’s; sorry, y’all — but it’s true. Vienna Ice Café is the best. Second, cakes are their specialty and it shows. From almond-​based to triple-​chocolate Sonata to strawberry champagne, there is a cake that will become your favorite. Also — marzipan of various kinds. Cookies, plunders, croissants, crème horns — you can find something to satisfy your sweet tooth. Their coffee is great as well, blended espresso drinks and coffee floats.
The Saha’s are truly part of the Clintonville community. They give generously to the Clintonville Community Resource Center, and during the polar vortex of 2013 – 14, they opened up their banquet space for several days so kids and families could come in and have a day-​off day-​out, complete with hot chocolate and cookies. Every year on Mozart’s birthday, they have a celebratory open house with proceeds going to the CRC. Looks like Mozart’s is here to stay for a long time.

Went with a group of friends for high tea yesterday. There was 7 of us total and we were seated alone in the far dining hall. It was super nice to be alone as we were dressed in lolita and that makes a lot of people stare. I got the orange pekoe tea but didn’t really taste the orange in it. The scones and spreads were the best part of the meal! I could eat those all day. We had a vegetarian friend that they gladly switched out the meats for during the «main» course. Those were hit our miss as I didn’t care for some of the bread but over was good. Dessert was nice with three treats. The cookie was the best one in my opinion. Another item I could eat all day.
High tea cost us roughly 20 $ after tax. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a cheaper high tea than a lot of other tea houses in the area.

I was here for brunch and this place is huge!
Atmosphere: It has an Italian feel, HUGE, and in need of an interior refresher.
Service: The waiter was awesome. A+
Food: I got the turkey dinner quiche and the bf got Wolfgang’s breakfast sandwich. The quiche had a nice crispy crust with turkey chunks. It comes with a side of fruits and whole wheat toast. The flavor was good and the side of fruits was SO fresh. My bf’s sandwich was definitely something you can make at home. I didn’t get to try their pastries but it looks so rich and delicious.

We’ve been to Mozart’s twice now. Our last experience was better than our first, but still left something to be desired.
The first time we went, we waited about half an hour for a table. Inexplicably. It wasn’t particularly busy, but the hostess kept saying «someone will come out shortly…» and it kept not happening. We almost left, but ended up waiting it out.
I got a smoked salmon dish and my boyfriend got a breakfast sandwich. They were okay. The standout part was definitely the torte and the marzipan peach we shared. Those were delicious, and definitely why we came back a second time.
This last time, we didn’t have to wait at all, which was in stark contrast to our first visit (in a good way!) We both ordered the breakfast sandwich. Sadly, I didn’t like it half as much as the dish I got the first time. It was egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, and ham, but oddly, the cheese and egg were super bland and even obstructed the taste of the bacon and ham. I had to take apart the sandwich and just eat the ham and bacon to get any sort of taste, which was strange. They were $ 10 a piece, which seems pretty pricey for something that we could do (better and cheaper) at home. The desserts we got were good, again. I liked the cookie much more than I liked the vanilla petit four. Service was good both times.
I think I’ve come to the conclusion that we need to come here only for dessert. Their food has seemed lackluster, bland, and a bit overpriced for my taste. Maybe I’ll give it one more shot but, in the meantime, I’ll think of Mozart’s as a place for unique treats alone.
