  • Neighbourhood gem
Mothership is a familiar neighborhood hang. Mothership is a place where you can gather with your co-workers after a long day or skip the cooking at home and bring the whole family in. Shareable appetizers for the table, healthy and allergen-friendly options, or a homestyle classic. All are paired with good vibes + beverage options that suit everyone. Whether you're coming with the crew or watching the game at the bar by yourself, we’re your second living room; a place to hang.


Free parking is available to all Mothership guests at 140 Cambridgepark Drive. Take the first left after Mothership, and you will see a parking garage on the left. Simply press the intercom button, and let them know you are a guest of Mothership for entrance!

    We went to their gluten free night and have been there before with their regular menu. The food is delicious and interesting - not what you find at every restaurant. There are super allergy/food restriction aware and take great care of us! Go!

    I always enjoy my Mothership experience. The Wednesday trivia allows our group an occasion to gather in a fun setting. The service is always personal and attentive. Staff even remembers my name and puts us at our special table. The food is great. I love the haute hot dogs on the shareable menu. A friend raved about her halibut dish tonight. I’ll be back often. Try it…you’ll love it too.

    Amazing evening at Mothership! I’m not gluten free but my friend is and it was nice to be able to order anything off the menu and share it! She didn’t have to worry which made it even better. Excellent service and the food was delicious- I didn’t even notice the absence of gluten! I hope you do this again!

    Service was good and the vibes were nice. The food was decent but overwhelmingly salty. I don't recall it being this way the last time I had dinner there, so I was surprised, but every single dish we had was extremely salty across the board.
