My wife and I came over to Mother's Bistro to check out the Ashkenazi Jewish food going on at Mother's Bistro. My wife got the corned beef hash, I got the beef brisket, and we split a side of challah French toast. I also ordered a Matzo b

First time here and I am really impressed with the food and the drinks. I got a Bloody Mary which was the perfect concoction of flavor and spice. I got the chicken rice bowl and was very happy with the recommendation that the server gave of choosing
Wonderful food! You can truly tell it is made from scratch.
Even the mashed potatoes still had some red skins mixed in for authenticity. I can't comment on ambiance as i ate in my hotel room via room service at Embassy Suites. The only thing I'd caution is their current selection of takeout containe
Great food, service, have been several times.
Always a good time, little crowded but is to be expected.

Great food but definitely overhyped, in my opinion.
Huge space and tons of seating inside. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

This was the bistro located in the lobby of my hotel during this trip and I couldn't wait to try it. They have a menu in the lobby for everyone to see even during closed hours. I immediately saw their Chicken Fried Chicken on the menu and wanted
A fantastic lunch at Mother's Bistro.
.. our first time to visit this new location. This space is much nicer! Our lunch was really great... Classic Macaroni & Cheese, Mother's famous $15,000 Dungeness Crab Cake sandwich ($20), coconut creme pie... Every item was really good.

Mother's bistro might be my all-time comfort restaurant of Portland. I must visit spot for brunch. I highly recommend either the Greek frittata, or the breakfast nachos. But you really can't go wrong with anything. I also can't forget

Downtown Portland, this is a family restaurant with comfort food and old style decor. I've heard it can fill up for breakfast on the weekends. I was happy they offered half plates of some meals, which meant I could make a meal with two halves

Mother's Bistro is definitely worth a stop, I think I prefer breakfast over lunch. There is metered street parking. There can be a wait depending on what time you arrive or you can make reservations on Resy. The customer service is always exc
If you like traditional East Coast pastrami sandwiches in
If you like traditional East Coast pastrami sandwiches in the lake, this is your place. Full drink menu, friendly staff, great decor, and located right off Burnside downtown Central Portland, Oregon.
The beef hash I had was incredible.
Soooo goood! Service was super fast, and the place was really cute inside, awesome for brunch. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area next time, just for that hash!

Wow!!! This place is amazing!!!!! The vibe is fun and eclectic decor. It has chandeliers with gold tin and it much bigger than I anticipated. Service was great from the hostess to our server to people bringing the food. Our server gave us great rec
good basic stuff - exactly what u would expect.
great atmosphere - living up to it's reputation
Always a must stop while in Portland.
Their brunch is always on point and delicious. The portions are huge! Their French toast is to die for. Nice and crunchy and flavorful. They are nice and heavy. The service was ok this time as they sat us in the back corner and the server cover many

The ambiance here is welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly. We came in for dinner and started with the chicken quesadilla, then the double down option of half mac and cheese and half pot roast. The caramelized onions in the quesadilla added

Hello Mothers! I am glad I know ya! After visiting Art in the Pearl, we were hungry! Headed to Mother's for brunch. Loved it. Food was great as usual, they were slammed so service was slow. I had the lox and bagel plate. So generous, I took ha

Solid breakfast, brunch, lunch spot with a bright interior and a good amount of seating. I have been to Mother's a handful of times and appreciate their expansive menu and ability to fit larger groups. FYI You can make a reservation so if you
Came here for lunch on a weekday with the family.
The ambiance is really nice - good decor, bright, feels classy. Our waitress was super friendly and made great recommendations for us. We got coffees that were good, a meatloaf sandwich (yum, though I would have preferred panini bread over basic wh
Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff.
Food is great. Portobello mushroom is excellent. Parking is tight like most areas in Portland. There is paid parking available
Wonderful food.
Seasonal offerings. Ask about their Mocktail Menu. A great place for business or pleasure. Jesse was an awesome server who took great care of us. An upscale downtown Portland vibe. Parking wasn't bad either.
Come here every time I'm in town.
You can tell they care. Remind me of food from home. Only regret from my last visit is I got something simple and I didn't get dessert.
Still great after all these years.
Love Mother's Bistro. Passing through Portland first time in 8 years, but remembered Mother's for being so good back in 2017. Had to go again and they did not disappoint. Great breakfast place. Too bad we left town; would have come back
We trusted the name and was not disappointed
My wife and I went here for dinner after passing the restaurant the day before and decided to try it based upon the name and we liked what we saw on the menu; we were not disappointed. They serve comfort food made from scratch. There is a large menu
Nice place, good specials
Cute little place. We ate in the bar and had the specials of the day which was a Greek Mac and cheese and a potatoes leek soup. Everything was tasty. We might go back.
Nice gathering spot for families and friends
We were staying in the adjoining hotel and kept seeing how many people were always seated, so we thought we’d stop in. The staff was very nice. The restaurant is large and has simple decor, nothing unusual. Our food was good, but nothing out of thi
Very pleasant experience
We found this restaurant by accident. We walked by and saw happy people inside and decided to give it a try. We've been back twice in 3 days. We had a nice breakfast the first time. They offer half orders of biscuits and gravy and french toas
Wow this place rocks !
We went for breakfast and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the variety of different types of dishes was great. Highly recommend.
Wonderful food and service
We have been eating at this wonderful restaurant for over 16 years. The food is absolutely delicious and made with love. The service is always great. We go as often as we can and the recognition from the staff and owner makes us feel very special. Th
Great space, delicious French toast
Located on a street close to some hotels (and a Voodoo donuts location), it was a convenient location. We were seated at a very comfy booth/table. We came on the late side for brunch on a weekday and the service was outstanding. The standout food w
Give it a Pass
Someone please give away ear plugs! So loud and felt like a Dennys. Whats the hype? Whats so special about this place? Maybe the fact there is no competition? Waited 30 minutes for a table to be at Dennys and host has such a bad attitude. Dude, you
Nice Restaurant
The food was good the portion size was good The staff were all very good It was easy to find We did get harassed by a junkie outside the restaurant who would not go away until we went in I was denied access to the toilet at the end of the meal not s

Make sure you come early because there can be a wait! I believe reservation is only for dinner. I was here for breakfast and I came at 9:30am and the wait was about 20 mins which wasn't bad. The wild salmon hash was my favorite and the stuffed fritta

The service was great as we were told a 10 minute wait on a holiday but were seated within 5 minutes. Our hostess was very kind. The restaurant is really big and super cute. I had the omelet of the day and I cannot remember what it was, but it had
Awesome
Had a wonderful experience with a large party. Server was great, food was delicious, chocolate cake was amazing. Server was able to split our checks for each group within minutes even though she said it would probably take 20-30 minutes.
Because it was near my lodging accommodations, I tried this
Because it was near my lodging accommodations, I tried this place twice. The chicken and dumplings was weird for me, and I'm a southerner. I give them a 3. The sauce was more like a gravy, but the chicken and 2 large round dumplings had good flavor.
Seems fancy but is not pretentious.
The hosts and servers were all very friendly and attentive. The food was good, not extraordinary. Got the migas and French toast.
Thanks.
Always wonderful & excellent service. What more could you ask. Thanks. Perhaps 85 more characters- Elton John, Wylie Coyote, The Shadow, they all hang out here!
The wild salmon hash has was an unforgettable experience.
If you're not sure about eating seafood for brunch then let me convince you to try this! It tastes better than it looks. The creamy potatoes mixed with the chunks of salmon, combined with your egg of style and toast was perfection! I can tell from
The portions are definitely worth the price, maybe ask for
The portions are definitely worth the price, maybe ask for half portions if you're not too hungry. We got tofu hash (half), Mike's scramble, blueberry pancake, Belgian waffle with strawberries and side of bacon. It seems as though they are known for
Dinner
Very nice atmosphere. Not too crowded at dinner. Very good Strawberry salad with salmon. Customer service a plus and grab a cookie on the way out!
Very nice place in a world of hurt
Meh. Don’t go here for dinner. After you wade through the homeless people cussing at you, the restaurant is very nice. But I can make better chicken and dumplings and meatloaf, and I don’t cook. I can’t believe this place is rated #9 in Portlan

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mother's Bistro & Bar Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mother's Bistro & Bar Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mother's Bistro & Bar Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Mother's Bistro & Bar Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mother's Bistro & Bar Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
