Tapas style dining in a really cool space. The standout dish, for me, was the eggplant tostada.

I attended a drag brunch, and had an amazing time. I had the pimentón cheddar biscuits with gravy, and it was filling and delicious. The flavors worked so well together, I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to regular biscuits and gravy. The staff was attentive, the chef was delightful, and the bartender made a great drink. I will be returning weekly for the brunch.

Incredible birthday dinner here last night! All five plates we shared were delicious and presented very nicely. Pacing of service was perfect. Our server had great recommendations, especially from the well-curated wine list. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Do not forget to get those madeira mushrooms!

The food was absolutely awesome! I came here with my partner and a friend, and we all really enjoyed our time. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service overall was great.
The only small hiccup was that our last dish was forgotten, so we had to wait quite a while. Luckily, we didn’t mind since we already had plenty to eat and enjoyed the time chatting. It wasn’t a big deal for us, but I thought it might be helpful feedback.
Would definitely come back again!

We had a phenomenal dinner. Ordered seven dishes for two people, and every single one was delicious—I honestly can’t even pick a favorite. The style reminded me of Odd Duck, but I actually like Mother’s better: same great quality, just more rustic and less pretentious. Can’t wait to go back.

Everything here is amazing. The food, the drinks, the staff, and the space. The drag show was amazing thanks to Darnell’s awesome organizing. Will was also the best! He put together an amazing cocktail menu and gave us amazing service on top of that. You can tell each drink was crafted with thought and love which shows!

This may be my new favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. Some of the most wonderful food I've ever had and fantastic cocktails with a very warm and welcoming staff. The burrata is divine and we loved the gnocchi. I would never have imagined some of these flavor combos would work let alone be so stunningly delicious. I plan on coming back soon and often and I would recommend it to anyone who would like an amazing meal.

Some of the best food, shareable with the table, and a phenomenal atmosphere that feels like a second home. Highly recommend and cannot wait to see what Mother's does in the future! The bar stools are very comfortable for individuals and the space is able to accommodate pairs or groups. The drag shows are iconic and you can tell the staff actually cares about the space, food, and quality they provide to customers.
Addition: I had my 30th birthday party in the parlor room on a Saturday, the space and staff are exceedingly accommodating for a small to medium sized group (we had ten people but it could easily fit 5-6 more people). My mom has a hearing issue and with the curtain, she could hear great! I had a blast -- it will definitely be my go to event space in the future.
First time here and based on the reviews and menu was hoping to love it. Didn’t happen. Service and vibe amazing. Our server George was well versed in the menu, friendly and attentive. The food though was less than inspired. We ordered everything on the menu except the 3 things they were out of. Preparation was ok on some things but a few things like the shishito peppers were not fully cooked, the hanger steak was ordered medium rare but came in rare, the cold noodles were undercooked and should have been served warm, items on the cheese board had very little flavor. The biggest issue we had was almost everything was way over salted to the point of being inedible. The mushrooms, pork shoulder, gnocchi, Brussels sprouts all of it. We all took a bite or two and gave up. My mouth is seriously shriveled. Really unfortunate because like I said we went in wanting to love it and are not ones to complain or leave bad reviews knitpicking a local biz but the food here was just plain either not tasted before seasoning or the cooks absolutely love salt. Probably won’t give it another try.

Ate here recently and it was an all-around excellent experience. Creative dishes, passionate staff, and cool decor. We tried 10 of the dishes, my notables are: Tikka Masala Gnocchi, Madiera Mushrooms, and the shishito peppers. Cocktails are also incredible, highly recommend the Rude Boi.

I’m so happy we were walking by this past weekend and I completely forgot that a new place opened. Service was outstanding we ordered a few drinks that were absolutely delicious. My partner ALMOST was sad they didn’t have his beer type available (he will get over it) but then the staff went out of their way to search and VOILA they found one left! I didn’t want to order food since it was close ish to closing time but I’ll definitely be back for dinner or BRUNCH especially. I love that the prices include TAX AND GRATUITY. Straight and to the point. Everyone on the staff really seemed to enjoy being there and loved talking about the place. The smells coming from the kitchen made me creepily stare into the staging area out of curiosity to see what was coming out. Can’t wait to enjoy the food next time I’m in!
