Mother's has always been one of our favorite spots, whether that's for brunch, dinner, whatever. They were closed throughout the pandemic but finally opened up last week! We made reservations for brunch today and are excited to report that the food and service is just as stellar as ever! Pre-pandemic, you could only make reservations for large groups. It was not uncommon to wait an hour or 2 for a two-top on the weekends. You are now able to make reservations, for even small parties. A few years ago Mother's moved from their previous location to the first floor of Embassy Suites. I LOVE the new space and the fact there seems to be more seating, especially with the new addition of the outdoor patio. Now onto the meal! Our server was Jason and he was FANTASTIC! He was also doing double duty, running the bar. This is no way impeded our food service. We started with 2 mimosas that were delicious. Fruity, bubbly and they had a bit of a strawberry puree for that little extra. I had one of the tastiest waffles I've ever had. I generally prefer my waffles a bit crispier than what I got today, but that's minor. Husband had the Double Down, choosing the salmon hash and the biscuits and gravy. I didn't taste his hash but he said it was great. I loved the bit of biscuits and gravy I had, full of flavor and not too spicy. We finished with a fresh strawberry shortcake. Shortcake, ripe berries and fresh cream. Perfect end to brunch!
