Frequently asked

A few things worth knowing before you visit.

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes — happily. The bar is first-come, first-served, and we'll always do our best to seat walk-ins at the dining room. Brunch and Friday/Saturday dinner are the busiest, so a reservation helps.

Is the restaurant kid-friendly?

Mother's is a family restaurant in every sense — kids are welcome at every service. Boosters and high chairs are available; let us know what you need when you book.

Where do I park?

Metered street spots are available along SW 3rd Ave. There are paid public garages on SW 2nd and SW 4th within a block of the restaurant. MAX and TriMet bus stops are minutes away if you'd rather skip the car.

Can you accommodate dietary needs?

We cook everything from scratch, which gives the kitchen room to adjust. Tell us about allergies, vegetarian preferences, or gluten avoidance in the reservation notes and we'll confirm the best options on the day.

Are you inside the hotel lobby?

Yes — Mother's is located inside the Embassy Suites by Hilton on SW 3rd, between Pine and Ash. There's a street entrance with our signage; hotel guests can also walk in straight from the lobby.

Do you host private events?

We do. The Family Room — built around a 14-foot African rosewood table — seats up to 20 guests for private dinners and gatherings. Call us at 503.464.1122 and we'll walk you through dates, menus, and beverages.
