Mother's Bistro & Bar Restaurant Review: At this bright and bustling downtown restaurant, chef, owner and mom Lisa Schroeder dishes up generous portions of family-style comfort food. Breakfast includes enormous waffles and piles of crunchy french toast, while lunch offers generous salads and meaty sandwiches; platters of seasonal mac ‘n’ cheese or traditional meat and potatoes are served up for dinner. Schroeder also honors moms from many cultures with her whimsical Mother-of-the-Month menu that features down-to-earth dishes from real moms around the world, such as Austrian wiener schnitzel or Moroccan lamb shank tagine. Assuming you’ve cleaned your plate, don’t miss the baked goods. There's always a daily pie, a brownie sundae, and devil’s food cake. The dining room is sometimes too loud and not very private (just like home), but these annoyances are minor. Just eat already. Or sneak off to the adjoining Velvet Lounge for a grown-up cocktail. There are also a few summertime sidewalk tables that provide a more adult atmosphere. |
