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 food is fabulous,atmosphere not so much... – I recently spent a Sunday morning waiting my turn to eat at Mother's after the male host had told me it would be 45 minutes to an hour before he could seat my party of 4.He had informed me that in the future,we could make reservations in advance,at least 2-3 weeks ahead of time,but not on the same day for saturday or sunday.After 40 minutes,he apologized for the wait and seated us.Shortly after, our server took our order and was very thorough.We were sitting next to a kit... read more
Horrible service! – We went there on 01/30/09 for a friend's birthday and the group of 12 will never go back there again and will be sure to inform our friends. The gentleman that brought our water and bread was in a bad mood, we asked him how his night was and he replied with Shi**y. The lady that was our waitress seemed bothered all night when we were ordering and getting drinks. They only allow 4 debit/credit cards to be ran, so I had everyone give me their cash and we split the bill with two debit cards. My total came to... read more
Lousy Service – **I'm revising my rating because Lisa, the Executive Chef and Owner actually cares about customer feedback. I'm giving this restaurant a recommended because it sounds like she is going to work with her staff to rectify some of the following. However, the review remains the same because this actually happened.** The food here was good BUT the service is horrible! The hostess told us a 5-10 minute wait time. After 20 minutes, the same hostess said we would be next. Then a couple of minutes later she seats anoth... read more
we LOVE Mother's, and will certainly be taking out of town guests – We love to go try new places in Portland and Mother's is a recommendation we're only too happy to pass on to others! We love this place. I love to cook, but it's nice to step out and have some home made tasting meals served to me so I don't have to do the dishes. The portions are just right, the food is cozy and delicious; I had a cream of turkey soup one night that I would replace Thanksgiving dinner with it was so decadent and tasty! We love their drink me... read more
My favorite breakfast place. – Mothers serves up the best breakfast. Everything I have had there has been amazing. Usually you have to wait for a table and the staff is always great. The service is always good.
Never got any food – I wish I could review the food, but I am currently snarfing down a McDonald's because after a 45 minute wait our lunch still hadn't come so we left. This was not at the height of the rush either. We arrived about 11:45am. They should warn you that lunch will take at least two hours.
Threats from patrons? – I don't care where you come from, or what language you speak, if you tell me people are going to die and that you are destined to become a martyr, I will call the cops on you. And I did, no thanks to the Mother's staff who would rather be unnecessarily PC, than ensure the safety of their sane patrons. Read on to hear about the man who threatened me and my mother at Mother's last night... Generally my experiences at Mother's have been acceptable, with the chicken and dumplings being the best and most c... read more
Food great, service questionable – Just arrived home from a birthday dinner. My bro and I were celebrating together. Food was good and arrived in a prompt fashion. It's just the waiter was strange. He had a problem getting our bill right. Something to do with the Visa machine wanting to add gratuity when he had already added gratuity. Service was questionable...too bad they force the tip out of you. I probably wouldn't have left as much as they charged me. Our party was over 6 so it may have had something to do with the size... read more
Fabulous Brunch with our Sons! – We are here for our son's graduation and have been selecting brunch meal restaurants each day. WOW! Mother 's won the BEST brunch and atmosphere! We started with hot fresh blueberry pancakes as tasters which melted in your mouth, the orange juice is REAL fresh juice, the coffee suberb with many rounds had at our table. All four of us ordered Eggs Benedict with red potatoes and there was nothing left on our plates but plenty of compliments circling the table. We topped of the meal with a fabul... read more
