Plan for Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is right around the corner, May 13th this year. It's always a little hard to get reservations so it's definitely a good idea to plan ahead. Consider this a friendly reminder from us to do just that. There are plenty of great brunch spots in the neighborhood. Buttermilk Channel, Fort Defiance, and Prime Meats are among our favorites. Many restaurants will have prix fixe menus. We've copy and pasted the Prime Meats and Frankies menus for the day below. Brunch is from 10-4:30 and is $35 per person.

Did you know that the Prime Meats and Frankies Sputino owners, or the two Franks (Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo), also have a catering and event company? We've known that Frankies has had an event space in the back of the restaurant, a beautiful room for large parties which is actually a converted blacksmith's stable, but we didn't know they had officially become caterers as well. According to their website they will serve at the location of your choice if you'd rather not have your party at the restaurant. Contact info is as follows.
