Came for the biscuits and gravy and was not disappointed!!

We had one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in years at this restaurant. After a long day of walking, we arrived with our kids—ages 3 and 5—tired, cranky, and full of energy. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of outstanding.
Every member of the staff—from the host to the bartender to our server—went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at ease. They were genuinely kind, patient, and completely unphased by our feral kids. It was clear they not only tolerate children, but understand them.
Without us even asking, the staff offered to bring the kids’ meals out first, provided toys to keep them entertained, and even cut the crusts off their sandwiches. The extra attention to detail made all the difference—our kids have never cleaned their plates so well.
The food was equally impressive. Both my wife and I had delicious meals—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We left full, happy, and incredibly grateful. It’s rare to be able to finish meals with preschoolers in tow.
If you’re looking for a restaurant that welcomes families with genuine warmth and delivers excellent food and service, this place is a gem. We’ll absolutely be back.

Loved everything about this place! The food, the atmosphere, the staff. We received our food promptly even though it was quite busy at the time. Would definitely go back.

Our entire family loves this restaurant! It's rare to find a place we are all satisfied with, so that's saying a lot. We found out half-way through our meal that the very kind waitress (who was helping out our actual waitress) was actually the owner. She was pleasant, hard-working, and genuinely nice. No wonder she has an amazing staff and crew that she works with! Can't wait to go back!!

Okay this was off the rails good! My brother and I split their lox platter and portabella scramble and couldn't have been happier (I don't know how they cook their eggs but as a not huge fan of eggs person over here, it was the star of the show). Until we ordered their seasonal carrot cake on display of course!
Staff was incredible, location and decor very cute, and the back of our waitress's shirt was hilarious - you'll have to swing by to see it in person.

Mother’s Bistro & Bar in Portland offers comforting, homemade-style dishes in a warm and elegant setting. The food is consistently flavorful, with standout brunch options like challah French toast and wild salmon hash. Service is friendly and attentive, making it a go-to spot for both locals and visitors.

Yummy! Classic! Fun for a friend get-together. I used Resy for the reservation, and it was seamless. Breakfast was great! The Bloody Maria also...excellent!

Portland staple for power breakfasts, or just taking the family. Everything is super tasty, especially liked the eggnog latte on my most recent visit.
This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Portland! From the moment you step in, you know you're in for a great experience. The service is consistently 10 stars every single time we visit. Our server is so kind, attentive, and consistent, always making us feel like we’re his favorite customers—he really adds something special to the experience.
The environment is just stunning—beautifully decorated, cozy, and inviting, with a vibe that makes you want to stay and soak it all in. As for the food, it’s absolutely delicious every time. You can tell that everything is made with care and quality ingredients.
I truly love everything about this place—great service, amazing food, and a beautiful atmosphere. If you’re in Portland, this is definitely a place you don’t want to miss!

Becky was our server and she had a beautiful smile and very friendly personality! The food was great, I had the omelette of the day and my daughter had the stuffed frittata. Only a 20 minute wait for a busy Sunday morning. The place is cozy and the food is great.
