About this business
With the aim of addressing the stark absence of quality restaurants offering home-style food in the area, chef and owner Lisa Schroeder has taken the experience gained at the likes of Le Cirque to create wonderfully fresh, bistro-style cuisine in the light and airy ambiance of this old Irish bank building. Breakfast and lunch menus at Mother's Bistro & Bar offer an excellent array of Northwestern specialties prepared to the highest standards. There is more variation in the dinner menu, with everything from salads to pot roas... read more

Mother's Bistro and Bar is my favorite placve in town! – I love this place. The food is delicious. They serve two sizes of their yummy salads, so I can get a Greek salad or a Cesar salad with chicken or salmon in large or small. The Velvet Lounge Bar is super cozy with great bartenders. They have a wonderful movie night with great talks and discussions after the film. Plus, I do not eat wheat and they are totally fine with that. The servers always check to see if an entree contains wheat. They have even made rice pasta just ... read more
BEST RESTAURANT EVER!! :) – First I must tell you that you HAVE to order the oatmeal! Not in the mood???? The matzoh ball soup, brisket, or ANY salad is AMAZING too!! The people are so nice and they make you feel completely at home with their WONDERFUL food and warm service. Everything is perfect and you should definitely go there!!
So many great choices. So little time! – ALL of Lisa's food is amazing but if I were to be dropped on an island in the middle of nowhere, I could happily live there with a regular supply of her corned beef hash. And maybe a little of the chocolate cake. Or the daily mac 'n cheese. The chicken soup... Oh, and of course, a Cosmo. The portions are generous. The variety is amazing. The specials are MORE than special taking full advantage of local goodies. The prices make a business lunch downtown affordable and the fresh berry c... read more
Great Sunday Brunch – As noted, this is a fine place for brunch, assuming you are lucky enough to get a seat. The restaurant is not all that nice inside, but that is part of the charm and the food speaks for itself.
Great breakfast – My wife and I went here on a Saturday morning and for two the wait was not bad. The ambience is cheery and the wait staff seemed to be in a good mood if not a bit harried. I am willing to forgive a little sloppiness if the food is good though--and it was great. Simple and delicious. We had the Eggs Benedict and Blueberry pancakes with apple pork sausage. The eggs benedict was some of the best I've had: the eggs were perfectly poached, the english muffins were well-textured and the hollandaise sauce was extr... read more
Made my boyfriend sick... – A couple months ago my boyfriend and I went to Mother's Bistro for a romantic anniversary dinner. The food was delicious, I got a pasta dish and he got the chicken and dumplings and we shared crab cakes. Unfortunately within a few hours he was holed up in the bathroom with his head in the toilet. I don't know if it was just an off night for Mothers, but he was feeling very sick for the rest of the night. Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite restaurants and I personally have never had a p... read more
Mmmmm :) – I've eaten at Mothers many times and I love it. They have lots of vegetarian options, the food is served quickly and all the servers are friendly and personable. The only (and I do mean ONLY) con is it's always busy. I would make reservations if you dont want to be waiting 45 minutes for a table.
Reviews not helpful – I have been reading these reviews trying to decide what then next great place to eat out would be and found these to be completely uninformative. The positive ones all look like a bunch of Sh*t.
Screaming and rude.... – My fiancee and I had made reservations (a party of two) over a week before. When we came in, fifteen minutes before the reservation, we told the host staff that there would still be a wait. Being that we both have been in the service industry before, we were fine with that, and went to the bar to get a drink. However, about 45 minutes later, we still had not been sat. We asked the host about it, and were told that we should be next. Then, people who we know came in after us were sat. We asked again, ... read more
