We love our mamas and want ‘em to feel special, so skip the trite and check out these fun ways to say “I love you!” on Mother’s Day. Because a full mom is a happy mom, right?
1. Del Frisco’s Grille
Del Frisco’s {100 Saint Paul Street, Denver; 303.320.8529} is bringing the ritz on Mother’s Day. Here, Mom can get an off-menu Prime Rib special, complimentary $15 gift card for a return visit, and her own take-home Lemon Cake Jar. Just add a build-your-own Bloody Mary and you’re well on your way to being Mom’s favorite child.
2. Panzano
Panzano {909 17th Street, Denver; 303.296.3525} is renowned for its Northern Italian dishes that we could eat up by the pound. Their special Mother’s Day brunch comes as a $45 per person feast that includes antipasti, entrée, and dessert—with fresh pastries, house-baked breads, and dishes like Chicken Gnocchi Hash, this is a spread that Mom’s sure to adore.
3. The West End Tavern
The West End Tavern {926 Pearl Street, Boulder; 303.444.3535} is the place to be for terrific views of the flatirons (did someone say rooftop patio?), barbecue, bourbon, and craft beer. It’s a must if Mom knows how to party—and she’ll be sent home with complimentary flowers and Champagne. It all starts at 11:30am.
4. Brown Palace
File this one under: totally swanky. The Brown Palace {321 17th Street, Denver; 303.297.3111} is pure luxury, with a High Tea experience that includes tea pastries, scones, tea sandwiches, and live music. Enjoy this afternoon tea from noon until 4pm, or splurge on the extra special Dom Perignon Champagne Brunch from 10am-2pm, which includes more lavish dishes and only the finest bubbly.
5. The Squeaky Bean
There’s no better compliment to brunch than a game (or four) of BINGO, as The Squeaky Bean {1500 Wynkoop Street #101; 303.623.2665} knows best. Enjoy made-from-scratch Mimosas and Bloody Marys, seasonal brunch fare, and round after round of BINGO hosted by local comedians. You can win anything from malt liquor to Squeaky Bean gift cards from 12:30-2pm.
6. The Corner Office
Sunday Disco Brunch at The Corner Office {1401 Curtis Street, Denver; 303.825.6500} is groovy beyond comparison. Prepare for ridiculous outfits, ’70s tunes, bottomless booze, and a themed menu from 7am-3pm.
7. Linger
Recently named one of OpenTable’s 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in America, Linger {2030 West 30th Avenue, Denver; 303.993.3120} is no stranger to the limelight. But with out-of-control deliciousness like Hangover Ramen with Pork Belly and Crab Cake Benedict, the hype is truly warranted. Treat mom to a plate and bottomless mimosas from 10am-2:30pm on Mother’s Day.
8. DazzleJazz
On Sundays from 10am-1pm, DazzleJazz {930 Lincoln Street, Denver; 303.839.5100} puts on an amazing and expansive brunch buffet with home-style comfort food and live music. Grab a seat and enjoy the fun (but definitely make reservations!).
9. Bombay Clay Oven
Indian fare might be a little unexpected for Mother’s Day, but that’s why we love it. And Bombay Clay Oven {165 Steele Street, Denver; 303.377.4454} is serving moms for FREE on Sunday from 11am-3pm. Show Mom some love with Chicken Kebabs, South Indian Rice Crêpes, Indian Style Scrambled Eggs, and a Vada for dessert. And don’t forget the $5 mango mimosas.
10. Thirsty Lion
For moms who own Broncos jerseys and love beer, a different approach might be in order. They’ll love the more casual pub vibe of a brunch at the Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill {1605 Wynkoop Street, Denver; 303.623.0316}, which is serving classic breakfast items from 9:30am-2pm, but also some more non-classic dishes. Think Adobo Pork Benedict, Spanish Chilaquiles, and Whiskey French Toast. Or, forego the brunch for dinner, when Thirsty Lion will offer special dishes like Bronzed Salmon with Mango Quinoa, which we bet will go swimmingly with the Lunetta Prosecco cocktails on offer.
11. Uncle Joe’s Hong Kong Bistro
If you’re short on cash this Mother’s Day, but don’t want to cut any corners for mom, take her out to Uncle Joe’s Hong Kong Bistro {891 14th Street, #100, Denver; 720.330.8487}, where she can eat FREE on May 8. All you have to do to regale your mom with a world of Cantonese flavors is call 720.330.8487 to make a reservation with the code “MotherEatFree2016” by May 7.
