Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In Clinton

CLINTON, CT — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Clinton brunch spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some nearby restaurants that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

Chamard Vineyars, Farm Winery Bistro, 115 Cow Hill Road, Clinton
Cafe Routier, 1353 Boston Post Road, Westbrook
Aspen Restaurant, 2 Main St., Old Saybrook
The Griswold Inn, 36 Main St. Essex
Dattilo Fine Italian at Water's Edge, 1525 Boston Post Road, Westbrook
Dog Watch Cafe, 194 Water St., Stonington
Fisherman Restaurant, 937 Groton Long Point Road, Groton
Grille 92 at Fairview, 235 Lestertown Road, Groton
Comix Roadhouse, 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd., Uncasville

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.

Many restaurants offer prix fixe menus, signature cocktails, decadent desserts and five-star service.

Here are two chains that are offering special deals on Mother's Day:

Olive Garden, Crystal Mall, Waterford: Olive Garden offers family-style takeout meals for five that include ready-to-bake entrees and breadsticks with homemade alfredo or marinara dipping sauce, and a large house solid with the signature Italian dressing.

LongHorn Steakhouse, Crystal Mall, Waterford: Celebrate this Mother's Day with a quality steak. LongHorn offers cuts like Flo’s Filet and the Outlaw Ribeye, which are available with other signature items via the restaurant's curbside service.
