A year ago, just a handful of restaurants ventured to open for dine-in on Mother’s Day (and that was at 25 percent capacity), with many more opting to only offer meals via curbside pickup. Mom had to pour her own mimosas at home. This year, Mother’s Day brunch is back, with festivities ranging from multicourse fine dining menus (with real mimosa flutes) to live music and even live longhorns at one popular restaurant.
