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

Thank You – I wanted to send a public thank you for the very special birthday breakfast, I and my "mother" were able to enjoy the day of the Shamrock Run. What a thoroughly "delightful" experience. Great food, and our waiter was so fun. Thank you for serving our city with such excellence. We had a great time. Blessings to you...from Lisa Hawes
A Home away from Home – From a warm welcome, to a goodbye accompanied with home-baked cookies, our experience at this downtown bistro was superb. After a meal of homemade Chicken and Dumplings followed by the best damn BrownieSundae we had ever had, my wife and I just had a brisk walk back to our downtown hotel to fall asleep like babies. Visiting from out of town we had heard that this was the place to come. How true, how true. Delicious.
BAD service. – 7 of us went to Sunday brunch yesterday, most of us for our 1st visit. The wait was long but understandable. The terrible service started right away. I went in looking for coffee and stood right next to the espresso machine and directly below the coffee price board. Staff members walked past me repeatedly always avoiding eye contact. Terrible service continued once we were seated. The server told us about a special that wasn't on the menu - crab cakes - but neglected to mention that they had bacon! Several peo... read more
dirtiest rest. if u want dy-a-rhea this is ur place – After an 30min wait for Sunday Brunch, we got seated at a dirty & greasy table w/ food on our chairs. I know their busy, but I do not mind wait for couple more minute for them CLEAN the table before seating us. Our table has half empty coffee cream. Which I instructed for a new one because there were stuff in there. GROSS!. Alright after our breakfast came. It tasted ok, kinda greasy. BUT worst of all, my husband & I had the worst dy-a-rhea . I understand maybe just me, b... read more
Wonderful Food and Cute Atomsphere – Gotta try it. Just like mom used to make...large portions with lots of love. Very friendly staff and great menu. I recommend getting there earlier or making reservations. Downtown Portland is limited when it comes to great breakfast spots. It's also pretty small inside with limited seating...but if you have to wait I promise it will be worth it. Enjoy
Questionable wallpaper... great crabcakes. – I don't know about the neo-Victorian ornate black velvet wallpaper in the lounge area or the shivering little glass chandeliers in the dining room- but thankfully the decor did *not* reflect the food-- Mother's had a *really* great selection on their menu, ever for an ultra-picky eater like myself. The servers were pleasant, the atmosphere was comfortable, and we didn't have to wait for a seat (two of us, Tuesday night 7-ish). I read other reviews of this place and saw repeated co... read more
Our vote is the best brunch – My husband and I visited the city of Portland. MOther's Bistro and Bar had been recommended by the conceirge of the hotel we were staying at.. We had eaten brunch at Francis resturant (a very poor meal )and then a bit apprehensive to eat just anywhere. Well anyway, as was perviously stated we went to Mothers for brunch. We felt at ease just soon after we entered the resturant. The "shabby chic" decor was interesting and comforting. Our server, Jason, came over very shortly after seated to offer ... read more
Customers for Life – My husband and I have been coming to Mother's since we moved to Portland and have always been impressed by the quality of the food, service and overall environment. I wanted to take the time to let you know how we were blown away by the customer service of your host - Jodi. He made our first brunch since the birth of our daughter special and went above and beyond to take good care of us. Your staff is always great, but I must say Jodi is a top-notch employee. Thank you! We will continue to be loyal patro... read more
We'll be back! – Thank you for all your wok taking care of the events and contracts for us at Mother's and Mama Mia's. Also, thanks for engineering a fantastic breakfast for us. We will definitely be back to PDX next year and back to Mama Mia's and Mother's. Thanks a million!
