There’s no better reason to check out one of our area’s ever-expanding restaurant options, or enjoy a decadent meal at one of your favorite TBAY spots, than Mother’s Day.

We rounded up some delish eateries to bring that mother figure in your life to this Sunday, May 12:

  • Bar Martinez | Book a reservation
    Check out the Cigar City’s newest social hub, Ten Rooms Ybor — located in the ground floor of the El Centro Español de Tampa building. The menu features delights like pink shrimp, Parker House rolls, and dry-aged rib eye.
  • Willa’s | Book a reservation
    The Southern Living-lauded restaurant is offering amped up grilled peaches, a grilled shrimp spring salad, and crème brûlée. Plus, add a beautiful flower arrangement from local florist Arms of Persephone Floral Design to your reservation.
  • Boulon Brasserie | Book a reservation
    Whether that motherly figure is French or not, they’ll adore this Water Street Tampa spot’s brunch or dinner spread. The menu is stacked with luxe menu items like caviar, oysters, escargot, and steak tartare. And finish off with pastries from Boulon’s bakery.
  • Allelo | Book a reservation
    Head to the Beach Drive eatery for a Mediterranean-inspired brunch or dinner beside the breathtaking flamingo mural. Then, stop by the flower cart to craft a stunning bouquet of blooms.
  • Beacon Tampa | Book a reservation
    Take in views of Tampa’s skyline over duck-stuffed or pork-filled buns and cocktails galore. Located on the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street’s 27th floor, Beacon is the one of the newest rooftop spots on the scene.
  • Cassis St. Pete | Book a reservation
    Kick off the day of celebration with a Frittata Mama or an Overnight Oats Pancake Stack — both part of the downtown restaurant’s Mother’s Day menu. The St. Pete eatery opens at 8 a.m. so you can get ahead of the crowds.
  • The Library | Book a reservation
    Cozy into the modern, book-filled world for a brunch board, crispy Brussels sprouts, and other delights.

Editor’s note: Reservations might fill up, so lock down your plans as soon as you can.
