Make Mother's Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In Ridgefield

RIDGEFIELD, 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 Ridgefield 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 Ridgefield that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• Bernard's, 20 West Ln.
• Gallo Ristorante, 5 Grove St.
• TerraSole Ristorante, 3 Big Shop Ln.
• Posa, 90 Danbury Rd.
• Bailey's Backyard, 23 Bailey Ave.

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 chains with locations nearby offering special Mother's Day deals:

Olive Garden, located at 36 Backus Ave. in Danbury, 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.

The Fresh Market, located at 605 Post Rd. East, Westport, is offering a brunch deal or a dinner bundle option. The brunch includes a choice of quiche, applewood smoked bacon, tropical fruit, blueberry muffins, and a seasonal flower bouquet. The surf and turf dinner for two includes a choice of filet mignon or chilean sea bass, whipped potatoes, asparagus, chocolate strawberries, and a flower bouquet.
