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

BLOOMINGDALE — RIVERVIEW, FL — 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 Riverview 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 Riverview that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• Ruth's Steakhouse, 7409 U.S. Highway 301 S, Riverview
• Tiki Docks River Bar & Grill, 10708 Palmetto St, Riverview
• Italian Kitchen & Cafe, 6915 U.S. Highway 301 S, Riverview

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:

• Bonefish Grill, 1015 Providence Rd, Brandon, is offering its Mahi & Shrimp family-style meal for five that includes a choice of salad and family-style sides of mashed potatoes and vegetables, bread with pesto and a dessert duo of cheesecake and cookies.
• Cracker Barrel, 1880 FL-60 E, Valrico, 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, l602 W Brandon Blvd, Brandon, 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.
