When it comes time for Baltimore Restaurant Week I gravitate towards finding ritzy, pricier places where I normally wouldn't wine and dine myself, using RW as the opportunity to try them out at a more affordable price point..so to be honest, since Mother's is a low-key tavern, I've enjoyed before for happy hour, I was going to pass them over...but I was drawn to the delicious sounded dishes and decided to just go for it .so glad I did!
Between hubby and I, we ordered the crab cake eggroll, short rib poutine, sticky bbq ribs, oscar ribeye, bread pudding beignets, and the heath brownie w. chocolate ice cream.
The portions were massive! We ended up eating the appetizers, saw how big the entrees were- knew dessert was coming-so we boxed our entrees to ensure we had room for dessert
Flavor-wise everything was super delicious.
The crab cake eggrolls were STUFFED..STUFFED with crab dip-oozing out of crispy but not greasy crunchy eggroll shells- a unique pairing of crab dip & bacon chunks they had bold flavor.
The short rib poutine had large chunks of tender, moist short rib on top of crunchy, crispy fries-it was a massive plate. Shareable not only for the two of us, but 4 could have easily shared the plate.
The sticky ribs were very sticky, loaded with an Asian zing sauce- the rice was just average blan white rice, but the spiced green beans packed a punch.
Oscar Ribeye-was a creamy, melt in your mouth-juicy seared medium rare to perfection steak topped with sauce and crab meat over a bed of creamier mashed potatoes and the thickest asparagus.
The bread pudding beignets weren't really beignets, more like bread pudding donut chunks-but were super dense with warm cinnamon caramel flavors
The brownie was average compared to everything else-but can't go wrong with a warm brownie smothered in ice cream
I will definitely keep them in mind for RW again!
Only woe- parking was an absolute mess- we ended up parking SO far away.
Inside there was a lot of seating, the place is massive with lots of variety on where you want to hang out. It was noisy, but we didn't' mind since it covered up noisy baby
