Warm and sumptuous ambiance. The service is friendly and fast, for how busy it was. Excellent selection of wine and full bar. The food was excellent!

This was my first time at Mother's and I've just heard so much talk about it over the years. I was actually very underwhelmed with our meal. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't amazing either. I do know they are open late every night which helps when you can't find a place to go. The service was good also! The best food items were the oysters (but expensive as expected) and the lobster gnocchi (which is under apps but you can order as a larger portion for your meal). My sister ordered the bolognese which barely had any sauce on it (as pictured) and they were going to charge $10 for more..... I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're looking for a late night meal.

We went as a group of 9 on Boxing Day and this place had a lot to live up to from our friends told us about it. It exceeded our expectations. We were outside on the enclosed heated porch which was quieter than the inside. Apps were shared-bread basket, Arancini, Colossal Shrimp and Wedge Salad. Bread and Colossal Shrimp excellent - didn't try others. Entrees were Scallops, Duck breast special, Salmon, Haddock special, meat loaf, Filet Mignon Beef Tournedos, Chicken Cutlets and Pasta Bolognese. I had the scallops which were amazing and the salmon was very good. Everyone else said dinners were great. Service was good on a very busy night.

Mothers was mothering! Came here for a work dinner and it had an old town Italian vibe to it. We were seated outside which I was afraid it would be too cold but they blasted the heater that I actually felt too hot. It was a small place too so I wouldn't recommend coming in with more than 10 people. The service was good and the place was clean - I thought the bathrooms were spotless. Besides that, the food choices were pretty standard. I was thinking to go with the scallops (my co-worker got this) but ended up with the filet mignon steak and it was delicious! I like the portion size and the sides too. It was also well seasoned which I appreciate! I would come back again and try the scallops which looked amazing.

Absolutely love Mother's. Great menu, amazing food, good service, and super fun ambiance. Have gone many times. Took my parents here when they were visiting and they want to go here everytime they visit. Especially love the artichoke dip. If you are debating on whether or not to try it out, definitely try it!!

I hadn't been to Mother's in several years. I won't be back anytime soon. I made a reservation to celebrate my mom's milestone birthday. The ambience was fine. Pretty noisy but that wasn't unexpected. The food was... fine. Average. Nothing special for what I thought was one of Buffalo's nicer restaurants. My duck was overcooked and my son's strip steak was way too fatty. I wasn't impressed. But my bigger issue was with the staff. Our server was ok. Again, nothing special. But the hostess needs to find a different line of work. As I mentioned, my family was celebrating an occasion. At one point we asked the hostess to take a photo of us. Not an unusual request. Her response? "I can't, I'm busy." Not "I'm a little busy now but if you give me a minute, I would be happy to." Just a flat out no. Who says that?? Totally unacceptable. This really bothered us and after a while one of us went to say something to her. She came back to the table with excuses and a half-hearted non-apology that actually made it worse. Eventually our server took a photo, but that one small act really put a damper on what was supposed to be a celebration. Bottom line is don't rely on this restaurant's old reputation. There are better places to eat where you'll be appreciated as a customer.

Real rating is 3.5 stars. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice, sort of fancy. The service was really good as well. Chicken wings were a 9/10 Spinach artichoke Brie dip was a 5.5/10 - lacked flavor Steak dinner was a 6/10 - the steak wasn't as tender as I'd like, the sauce that comes with it tasted like bbq and is just kind of a weird pairing with steak, and the asparagus was not seasoned at all. The mashed potatoes were very good tho and so were the onion straws on top.

I have dined at Mother's numerous times over the years and have always been pleased with the food, service and ambiance. One of my favorite dishes is the Halibut which is seasoned perfectly, tender and cooked to perfection. The salads are great & there is a wonderful selection of desserts. Our servers have always been friendly and accommodating. On my last visit in August, we sat on their beautiful outdoor patio which was beautiful & cozy on a warm summer evening. Additionally, they serve later than most places. If you haven't been there, you must check them out.

The last time I stopped in to Mother's I was a bit underwhelmed by service and quality of food, but I miss her so much I needed to check up and see how she's doing. So I stopped in at opening time on a recent Sunday. They were fully booked so I chose a seat at the bar to get a snack and a cocktail (note to self -always call for a reservation!) I spent a lovely afternoon, had delicious cocktails and all the dishes ordered were excellent and well prepared. It was lovely sitting at the bar by the front window on a rainy afternoon. I don't quite remember the music that was playing but that's all right. That means it wasn't bad. Mother's - are you stepping up your game? Thank you!

I have been a long time customer and supporter of this establishment. I love supporting local and have had many large gatherings for birthdays/ graduations etc. as well as small dinner get together. I have encouraged lots of friends and family to do the same and have attended multiple large celebrations and dinners here. As a frequent costumer and someone who has referred a lot of business, I was shocked and disappointed today when I called back about a reservation for 12 people for my birthday. I had called last week and left a message and never heard back so I called back today to confirm they got my reservation. The woman was extremely rude to me, speaking in a nasty tone of voice and talking down to me. She belittled me and told me I needed to give her my credit card number to reserve the table, when I have never been asked to do this. She also snapped at me and said they will not split any check for me, when I was already aware of this and did not ask. That aside, it was not even what she said, but how she said it and her tone of voice. No one deserves to be spoken to this way. They lost a lot of business today from myself, and anyone I have previously recommended here. There are plenty of other amazing local restaurants to support and I will be taking this one off the list!
