★★★★★ 5.0 Steve · Jan 2026

Solid brunch spot. Food was prepped with care and attention to detail. The chef takes her craft seriously, even had homemade jam to spread on your toast. Lovely “mother of the month” feature on the menu with recipes by real mothers. They would know best! The ambience was really stylish, yet with a classic, comfort food vibe. The service was also outstanding and willing to put up with my stupid dad joke banter. Wild salmon hash has was a highlight for me. The way the components came together was really complimentary! Rich, creamy, with salmon goodness wrapped in. My only complaint was the pancake felt a little dry, but that was easily remedied with a hard pour of maple syrup. Come have a delicious breakfast at this joint! The place was bustling.

Fantastic experience at Mother’s Bistro! Everything we ordered was spot-on — from the crispy fried zucchini to the fluffy pancakes and perfectly seasoned hash. The coffee was great, and the menu has an amazing variety to choose from. Our server was attentive and made some excellent recommendations that did not disappoint. The manager also checked on us several times, which I really appreciate since so many places have moved away from that personal touch. Highly recommend making a reservation — especially if you’re a Platinum AMEX cardholder, since you can book through Resy for an even smoother experience. Great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming vibe!

Took our parents out for a casual dinner last night. Our group consisted of ages ranging from 5 to 75y.o. Everyone found something they wanted to eat and enjoyed it. Food was fresh, well seasoned, and expertly prepared. The staff were very attentive and contagiously positive. We were very pleased with our dinner experience. Will try their brunch next time.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Derrik Ammons · Oct 2025

They ran out of dumplings for my chicken and dumplings, but it was still delicious served wish mashed potatoes, and I devoured it. I even added more mashed potatoes from the other 2 dishes, it was so good. I prefer the pot roast over the chicken fried chicken, but both are flavorful. We were sat in the bar instead of the dining area, not sure why, but the dining area across the way looked more comfortable and nicer atmosphere. But the bar was a window seat and had date night lighting and a game on, so couldn't complain. I was surprised we weren't given a choice, that's all.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ally Graham · Sep 2025

The place is very stylish! My friend and I went on a super busy Sunday late morning, and service was still magnificent. Our server was Jesse and he was amazing. The food and drinks were well crafted and delicious! Great little brunch spot. We definitely want to try the lunch and dinner services next. 10/10!
