Mother's Bistro and Bar

409 SW 2nd Ave

Heaven! I'm in heaven! And my heart beats so that I can barely eat!

Actually I had no problem eating every last bite of my Belgian waffle with apples, cinnamon and raisins because the food at this sprawling and elegant downtown eatery is excellent! Two bites in, I announced that I wanted to return for my birthday. (And I happened to see that a lady seated nearby got a slice of rich-looking chocolate cake for hers.)

I took ample samples of my companion's (hi Marc! Snort!) delectable mushroom omelette and perfectly seasoned potatoes. I am definitely going back, but next time with a reservation. Rating: ****
