MIDDLETOWN, NJ — 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 Middletown-area 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.

Salt Creek Grille, Rumson: For more than two decades this popular Jersey Shore restaurant has celebrated Mother’s Day with a delicious, special a la carte dinner. Reserve early: Their Mother’s Day Sunday dinner served from noon – 7 p.m. (last reservations taken at 7) with its stunning spectacular views of the Navesink River is always a sell-out. View their special Mother's Day menu here.

“Our waterfront location, award-winning menu and wine list are many of the reasons why Salt Creek Grille is so popular on Mother’s Day,” said co-owner Steve Bidgood. “Salt Creek Grille has become an annual tradition for many families since we opened in April 1998. Many of my servers who have been with me since we opened are part of a much larger community family, our guests’ families. They have served daughters who now bring in their daughters to celebrate Mother’s Day with them. It’s truly amazing and heartwarming especially after what we all have been through this year.”
