Editorial Review for Cafe Mozart – by Sasha Emmons
The Scene
From the outside, it's hardly worth a pause. But head inside Cafe Mozart for a sudden jaunt to a European cafe--not the too-perfect Disneyfied version, but a lived-in, cozy spot where you can settle in for an afternoon with the paper. Votives on every table cast a golden glow on plain wooden tables and chairs. Live piano music (nightly and at Sunday brunch) is a welcome backdrop to the din of clinking glasses and conversation. Outside tables are available in warm weather.
The Food
Dessert is the forte here, with more than 65 caloric selections including chocolate mousse cake, creme brulee, French apple tart and raspberry cheesecake. But the dinner menu is solid, and includes a prix-fixe option. Wonderfully gooey French onion soup and herb-roasted chicken offer deep comfort. The sirloin is served with addictive fries. Breakfast and lunch are also available.

Went by over the weekend for dessert and coffee, and the little restaurant is closed and appears to be gutted! What happened?!? Anybody got a good dessert recommendation for the UWS?
Pros: It was great!
Cons: Now it's closed

As patrons of Café Mozart for years, we have always loved the atmosphere and food and found both extremely satisfying, especially for brunch. Over the past few months however, we have noticed many small changes that in aggregate add up to just one too many, and as a result we will no longer be coming back. For example, they used to bring over a basket with an assortment of breads and jams to the table, now it’s filled with just on kind, dry raisin bread and grade jelly. There still have flavored hot chocolate on the menu, although they have been ‘out’ for months now. The flavored teas are also out, and the ‘pott of tea' is now a cup of hot water accompanied by a cheap tea bag. The strawberry and cream cheese filled french toast has been replaced with french toast with a pink strawberry flavored filling that is just not as good. The same items are cheaper if you get them delivered, although the bagel with cream cheese and salmon was missing the cream cheese and when I called about missing syrup for my french toast, they gave me an attitude and said I didn't specify I wanted syrup. We really did like this place a lot, but with spotty service, attitude and the recent decline in quality, we just had enough.
