The Meeting House, 301 S. Main St., Rochester

Sample review: “... We had the chorizo and egg tostada … which includes crisp flour tortilla, ranchero sauce, smashed avocado, pico de gallo, sour cream. Everyone in the restaurant had one at every table so I had to get this. Plus. I love anything Southwestern. I usually don’t like brunch but this was delicious. The crisp flour tortilla was a nice twist to brunch. The eggs chorizo and pico de gallo was a perfect mix. together everything tasted excellent. It looks like a huge portion. I remember seeing others receive in at the other tables and being impressed by how big it looked. Then the next time I look over, it would be gone! I don’t usually eat everything on my plate but this disappeared with a quickness. So good and perfect amount. …”

La Marsa Mediterranean Cuisine, 35558 Grand River Ave., Farmington Hlils

Sample review: “This really might be the best food in the area. We ordered one of the ‘La Marsa Feast’ on Mother’s Day. They had plenty of carry out orders but we were not kept waiting at all. Our food was hot, fresh and ready for us when we arrived. The staff was so polite and friendly and they even helped us pack up the car with the trays. The meat was juicy and full of taste and the rice and pita bread, both fresh and hot when we arrived, go well with everything. Don’t forget the garlic sauce either!”

Deadwood Bar & Grill, 18730 Northville Road, Northville

Sample review: “Hats off to the grill cook! I have not had a burger that good in years! We ventured to Deadwood on Mother’s Day for brunch and it was soooo good! Our reservations were right on schedule, the service was perfect and my food was wonderful! I decided to order my first Buffalo burger ever, and boy, I did not regret it! The meat was very similar to beef but tastier. I’m not sure if they seasoned it or what (I didn’t taste any seasoning) but it was so darn flavorful. I usually have to reach for the ketchup and mustard to spruce up a hamburger, but this one would have been ruined if I added anything. The flavor was way too good to mess with. And it is the first burger I have ordered in years that was actually cooked ‘medium’ how I like it – just enough pink inside to keep it juicy!”

Marais, 17051 Kercheval, Grosse Pointe

Sample review: “I love good food, but I really love good food with good atmosphere and service. Marais delivers on all three. My son surprised me by telling me he would take me here for Mother’s day, so we planned our meal for a few days later. I started with a dry champagne with a hint of toastiness, an amuse bouche of truffled egg custard with duck demi-glace-infused mushroom duxelle and watercress puree; my son had a slightly more floral and sweeter champagne, next was foie gras on toast with dates, I paired that with a Sauterne (recommended by our waiter), then black truffle risotto with sweetbreads and parmesan shavings. My main course was duck three ways, confit, breast wrapped in swiss chard with nutmeg and spinach in the middle, and seared with foie gras on top, paired with a Pinot Noir, my son had veal ribs. We each were given a mini loaf of bread that absolutely melted in our mouths, no butter necessary, although it was made in house and provided. We had the violet and citrus dessert. … Everything was completely delicious, I ate things I can never hope to make, which is the whole point, the flavors were complex and interesting and the service was impeccable.”

Giulio & Sons, 600 Town Center Drive, Dearborn

Sample review: “I’ve been coming here every Mother’s Day with my family for years now, so many that we know the servers by name and they seem to remember us, too. … Overall, my food favorites were the omelets, the beef short ribs, the broccoli, and the dark chocolate mousse. ..”

Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village, 20900 Oakwood Drive, Dearborn

Sample review: “ … During Mother’s Day, there is an incredible brunch (reserve your spot), the best in town, but only available during Mother’s Day. It is truly amazing.”

Gregorio’s Italian Restaurant, 2356 Biddle Ave., Wyandotte

Sample review: “My mother and I stopped in here for a late Mother’s Day celebration and we were blow away by how delicious the cuisine was. I had the Veal Artichoke and Vodka sauce over fettuccine special and my mother had the Veal Parmesan. The meal was all fresh and couldn’t be in our stomachs faster. As if we weren’t full from our meal, we finished the night with a tiramisu that just melted in our mouths. As for the service, our server was fast, knowledgeable in the dishes, friendly! The chef even came out to check on the status of our meal (mid dessert) and I assured him (with a mouth full of tiramisu smile) that I was very happy with what he prepared for us today. “

Pepperoni Grille, 22411 Greater Mack Ave., St. Clair Shores

Sample review: “This is one of our favorite restaurants. It is local, so it’s close to our house and the food is always great. The service is always fast and the wait staff is friendly. I highly recommend this place if you like good food at a good price! We’re going there for Mother’s Day!”
