Mother’s Day lands on Sunday, May 10 — yes, that soon — and if you haven’t made plans yet, consider this your gentle (read: urgent) nudge.

Good thing San Antonio restaurants are doing their part to help you live up to your rep as a loving and appreciative offspring, offering everything from over-the-top brunches to high tea to Champagne toasts with skyline views.

Mom earned a day off from cooking, planning and reminding you to call. So, book the table, order the good stuff and let someone else handle the cleanup.
