Mother's offers up some decent food at decent prices. It didn't rock my world, but that might be because I've been spoiled by San Francisco's insanely great cuisine. But as food goes, it's solid,…

Mother's is wonderful for brunch. It can be crowded, but they have books and toys for children and do their best to get you seated as quickly as possible. The food is great and always hits the spot.

Fabulous breakfast. The scramble was to die for! The crunchy french toast was amazing! I would fly back to Portland just for the Sunday brunch!

I'm not a native Portlander (although it seems that no one is). My family came up to visit my sister for a week. In that time, we went to Mother's twice. The place drives me CRAZY. It's packed way too…

Even though the name of this place is cute, and the inside of this place is cute, I wasn't very satisfied. First of all, the inside is very jam packed. I could tell the waiters and waitresses had a…
