Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and many Triangle restaurants are preparing for the most significant brunch of the year. The pandemic has affected the industry, but eateries have resumed normal operations to celebrate Mom’s day with special menus and services. To commemorate this day, we have compiled a list of a dozen restaurants that offer unique experiences for moms. It is essential to note that some local schools will be graduating, and we recommend making reservations early.
