    Green Goddess salad
    Marlene P.

    There is a distinct odor when you walk in, not unpleasant but sharp, pungent and hard to place sort of vinegar maybe onion it eventually dies down after being seated but then got strong odor of ash tray or upholstery from a smokers house. Guess the staff is nose blind. I ordered the green goddess salad. It said it had avocado pieces I didn't see them and very little chicken. It was good. When I walked in I noticed a wadded up napkin in a decorative rooster near the hostess area.

    Just want to say that Lorena was absolutely awesome gave great recommendations as you can see in my pictures. Lastly, great customer service was attentive but gave us space. Will definitely be coming back soon.

    Egg White & Veggie Omelet
    Mimi L.

    Ordered breakfast through uber eats on a Sunday morning. I was glad that the portions were big enough. I was really hungry after early morning gardening. We have tried veggie omelet with potatoes, sausage and scrambled eggs, also two muffins. The food was very comforting and the muffins were surprisingly tasty. A satisfying breakfast and we would order delivery from here again!

    I've been to fine dining restaurants with worse service this location! We were greeted with cheer, and our server Vanessa was delightful! She had such a fun and bubbly personality that instantly made us look forward to our next visit. The food is great too!! Really big portions. I also really loved all the attention to details in the decor, so pretty and cozy.

    Some family and i visited for lunch on our way to a retreat and we left content. Our server was very friendly, and although their lunch rush was busy, he didn't seem flustered or as if he was trying to hurry up with our table at any point in our visit. Everyone's food came out at the same time and we all enjoyed our lunch. We ordered their muffin special they had going on and enjoyed our muffins as a late night snack! Although you can tell it's a little dated, it seems well kept. Thankful that our pit stop filled our tummy's and allowed us to start our retreat off right.

    Tiramisu with a latte
    Alma R.

    Our go to place when craving yummy dessert. This time I had their Apple & Cherry Cobbler a la mode and hubby had their Tiramisu, both so delicious! I like trying their adult beverages at times and this night I had their White Russian. Went great with my dessert. The service is always friendly and super speedy. The ambiance seems to always be on the quiet side so it allows for perfect conversations.

    I felt like having a waffle this morning, but it had to be crispy and light and airy, and I said let's go to Mimi's and there was the most perfect waffle with a biscoff cookie topping served by Lorena, our favorite waitress! She also recommended the new biscoff cappuccino that made me feel like it was my birthday!! And she's always ready to refill your cup no matter what! Perfect way to start a Saturday!

    Loved brunch here, love the vibes, the home ambiance, LORENA was an amazing host, on top of service for us, food was delicious. Service was amazing. Will definitely come back

    Amazing experience! Our waiter Lorena was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcomed. She checked on us often and made great recommendations. The food was delicious, but Lorena's great service really made the visit stand out. I'll definitely be coming back!

Menu was varied and interesting with some specialties, sandwiches, and salmon. Prices were fair for these times. I had the strawberry goat cheese salad and the baked dinner rolls with sweet butter. Enjoyed it all. My husband had the burger with fries. He said both were very good. I'd like to try the bacon crusted salmon or the gnocchi next time. We did not have dessert. Service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. This is a tiny gem in Uptown. They've been open about a year. I hope people will discover and enjoy it like we did.

But I've learned that if I order my steaks rare or even blue rare at a place not known for their steaks, it comes out to the desired medium rare I wanted all along. Such was the case tonight. I asked for rare but it came out closer to medium rare--maybe even dipping into medium. No big whoop. The baseball steak was still juicy and delicious. The fries were still great shoestring. And I can live with a chimichurri sauce instead of the preferable hollandaise or bearnaise these usually come with. I just wish I could actually ask for a medium rare and get medium at a food joint other than where it costs me $60 or $70 a cut. The service was good. She was pleasant and quick on her feet. The ambience was good. It was a quaint space and had a lot of charm. I can't say it was too full but I attribute that more to the day being full of sporting events like the World Cup and some silly NBA thing than an actually critique of the restaurant. Subsequently, I found this a good place for dinner but not superb and I found myself wondering when the next like fate might bring me here.

A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for.

When we arrived, the hostess notified us that they were accepting walk ups and reservations didn't matter. We waited over an hour to be seated. Initially, they sat us separately at two booths. This is unacceptable on Mother's Day when we were trying to celebrate our Grandmother. Thankfully, our waiter was able to clear a spot on the patio. Following being seated, the waiter did not come. I got up and asked if they could come to our table because we have two diabetic family members. The host I spoke with said he would send someone, but there was some attitude. Our waiter came and was kind, but the whole experience has been awful. We waited over an hour and twenty five minutes after being seated for our food to arrive, and they didn't bring it all out at once. My pancakes ended up having a hair in them and had to be sent back. We have since asked for a manager to come to the table 2x, and they have not come. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has ruined our last Mother's Day with our grandmother before she moves away later this year. Over two hours wasted total waiting to be seated and for our food to arrive.

As we waited, I started noticing something interesting: two parties who came in after us were seated immediately. Then almost 30 minutes went by. At that point, I poked my head back in and said, "Hey, we put our name down about 30 minutes ago, and I've noticed people coming in and getting seats." Immediately, the hostess who originally helped us said, "Yes, yes... sorry about that. You can choose a table right now." So apparently our table had been available in the Witness Protection Program. To make matters worse, we were seated next to one of the parties that arrived after us, and we got to enjoy the thrilling experience of watching them receive their food before we even ordered. The food itself was good overall. The only miss for me was the mac and cheese, which tasted like KFC mac and cheese that had a passionate encounter with a jar of jalapeño juice. Would I come back? Maybe. The food was decent, but for a first visit, the service definitely left a stronger impression than the meal did.

    I'm honestly very disappointed…read more We ordered delivery from what used to be one of our favorite local restaurants. Three years ago, we dined here and had an amazing experience, which is why we were excited to order again. Unfortunately, this meal was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had. I ordered the pork ribs and fried shrimp. The ribs were extremely dry--so dry that they tasted like they had been cooked days earlier and reheated multiple times. They were nothing like the ribs I remembered from previous visits. After just a few bites, I started feeling uncomfortable. The fried shrimp was equally disappointing. It had almost no flavor at all and tasted bland and uninspired. My husband ordered the burger, which was advertised as a blend of Wagyu and regular beef. We were expecting something special, but the patty lacked flavor and the quality was disappointing. What surprised us even more was that we live only five minutes away, yet the burger bun arrived completely soggy. The packaging was also poor. The food came in cheap plastic containers without any ventilation holes. For fried foods especially, proper packaging is important to prevent steam from ruining the texture. It felt like very little care was put into preparing the order for delivery. To make matters worse, both my husband and I experienced stomach discomfort and excessive gas afterward, and we were still feeling it the next day. What makes this experience especially disappointing is that this was my husband's birthday dinner. I chose this restaurant because of the wonderful memories we had here years ago, but the food quality was nowhere near what we remembered. I genuinely cannot understand how food of this quality was considered acceptable to send out to customers. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes a closer look at its food quality and delivery standards.
