"Considering it was a hectic Mother's Day breakfast / brunch @ Mothers - we were pleasantly surprised at the good quality food, but most of all the great service! From our nice server to the hosts, etc. all were welcoming, friendly, attentive and never oversolicitous.
Great start to the day. Thanks!"

"We have a party of 13 with 4 children. We had a table upstairs which worked out great. Was only one other table in use so was like having your own private room. Food and service was great. Waitress was very attentive to all our needs."

"We were at the Science Museum and made reservations. It is more of a sports bar. The food was excellent. Blackened Chicken was the best."

"We had a great time celebrating my mother's birthday. I was a little disappointed there were no desserts. Other than that we had a lot of fun and my Mom loved the bloody mary."

"A few friends and I went to Mother's for the first time on a Wednesday during Restaurant Week. We had made a reservation and it was not overly crowded when we arrived. The service was atrociously bad. We waited for drinks, to order, for our food. We ordered the 3 course meal special for restaurant week and never received the second course. After several complaints (and 2 hours) we were offered free desserts to replace the second course. I spoke with the manager and he said that they were getting "slammed" and were short staffed. I honestly don't have much patience with his excuse because it was restaurant week and the menu was fixed and we made a reservation. They should have been prepared.
Too bad because the food was great."
