  Oh my the gnocchi and uni pasta with shrimp are haunting my dreams. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu... Though I will need to order the uni pasta again. We shared it amongst three people and quickly wish I had ordered my own! Service was top notch as well as the decor and atmosphere.

  My husband and I went last night for Valentines because we had heard great things and we knew that the same owners own Mateo and Luckys, which we love. The hostess that greeted us was pleasant, said our table was almost ready and to feel free to get a drink at the bar, which we did. The bartenders were very friendly, greeted us right away, suggested some wines and poured us a glass very quickly, even with it being a very busy bar. The hostess came to get us, sat us and again was very nice. We were very impressed until our waitress Cynthia made it to the table. She gave us a minute to review the menu, when she returned I had a few questions, it was a fixed menu and I wasn't familiar with some of the items. When I asked her could she review it with us, I was shocked at her response!!!! She was very condescending replying "Well Honey, I don't know what you mean, everything is listed right there" I said, are any of these salads on the 1st course?" In which she replied "No sweetie, none of those are salads" very snub.
  My husband and I frequent many of the downtown restaurants and love a diverse menu with things we may not have had before, and never have I had someone not review the menu and give their opinion.
  I had my husband communicate with the waitress after that. I believe she knew that I was a bit aggravated after being brushed off, called honey/sweetie and honestly made to feel like a complete idiot for not understanding the menu. After receiving our food, which was great, we had run out of wine. 1) She never checked on us to see if we needed another glass or to see how the food was 2) My husband got up from our table himself and walked to the bar to get the glasses of wine himself, once again greeted by the wonderful bar staff 3) She only returned to the table once she saw my husband had gotten up to go and get a glass of wine
  She did bring the wine over after that and said that it was on her, which we insisted that she did not need to do that.
  I do believe at that point she tried but unfortunately by this point she had set the mood for our experience at Mothers and Sons.
  We said that we would return, sit at the bar if possible because that staff was great and the food was good.
  But note to owners and staff, when a customer ask about your menu, kindly review it, there is no need to be patronizing.
