"There’s an effortless cool to Mother’s menu: chunks of baby beets piled with whipped avocado on a tostada; broccolini adobo; chile verde starring starchy white beans and hominy rather than the standard pork. The all-vegetarian restaurant is enjoying its second incarnation; chef Michael Thiemann reopened at a different location last summer, and it hasn’t taken long for the restaurant to resume its special place in diners’ hearts. The fun approach and vibrant fare make Mother a reliable option for a midweek dinner, solo or otherwise. For a more elevated experience, check out the 10-course tasting menu." - Tamerra Griffin
"The Michelin-recognized vegetarian restaurant Mother has reopened in midtown Sacramento at 2319 K Street, Suite B with co-founders Michael and Lisa Thiemann and Ryan Donahue back in action and chef Robb Venditti joining the team; hours are to be announced via Instagram." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Reopened on September 12 in a new Midtown location after being closed since early 2020, Mother now operates at 2319 K Street, Suite B and is serving the same omnivore-friendly vegetarian fare that first drew attention in 2014. Owners Michael and Lisa Thiemann and Ryan Donahue have brought back signature items, including the chicken-fried oyster mushroom po’boy." - Paolo Bicchieri
"After shutting down in 2020, the team that opened Mother in 2014 is bringing it back as Mother 2.0 at 2319 K Street in Midtown; the original vegetarian spot, founded by Mike and Lisa Thiemann and Ryan Donahue, earned rave reviews and a place on the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand list in 2019. Chef Robb Venditti, who joined after time at Pangaea Bier Cafe and running his own catering company, is working to reopen with much of the same menu, including the restaurant’s specialty dinners and the chicken-fried oyster mushroom po’boy sandwich; the new location will open with beer and wine and hopes to add cocktails next year." - Dianne de Guzman
"Included among this year’s Bib Gourmands is Mother, one of three Sacramento restaurants honored and listed as a newcomer (NEW)." - Ellen Fort
