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

FAIRFIELD, 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 day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Fairfield 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 hometown restaurants here in Fairfield that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• Brick Walk Tavern, 1275 Post Road
• Fairfield Social, 116 Post Road
• Metro Kitchen & Bar, 52 Sanford St.
• 55 Wine Bar & Restaurant, 55 Miller St.

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 three more suggestions to get you started:

The Capital Grille, located at 230 Tresser Blvd. in Stamford, is offering to-go service that includes a three-course dinner featuring roasted beef tenderloin with a choice of butter poached North Atlantic lobster tails or scampi-style jumbo shrimp, served with green beans, mashed potatoes, a baked flourless chocolate espresso cake and lemon tea cookies.

Cracker Barrel, located at 30 Research Drive in Milford, offers free Mother’s Day delivery on a choice of a pancake breakfast (includes bacon or sausage and a choice of hash brown casserole or fried apples) or Sunday Homestyle Chicken (includes two boneless breasts, a choice of two sides and buttermilk biscuits).

Olive Garden, located at 439 Boston Post Road in Orange, offers family-style takeout meals for five that include ready-to-bake entrées and breadsticks with homemade Alfredo or marinara dipping sauce, and a large house salad with the signature Italian dressing.
