Great places to take your mom out to eat on Mother's Day

Comment: Do you have any other great suggestions for places to take mom for Mother's Day?

Staff Writer

Several Dayton-area restaurants that are usually closed on Sundays are throwing their doors open to accommodate Mother's Day diners — and not just because it happens to be the most popular day of the year to dine out.

"Hey, I figure I've got to cook for my own mother anyway, so I might as well open the restaurant," said Keith Taylor, chef-owner of Savona Ristorante and Enoteca in Centerville. "She'll be here."

Trying to predict which restaurants will serve up the finest fare in the most festive atmosphere is kind of like asking Mom which are her favorite children, but here are a few solid bets, along with some alternatives in case these eateries can't fit you in at the time you desire.

Because if you haven't made your reservations yet, you need to pick up the phone pronto.

Restaurant review, The Caroline, Troy [review]

The Caroline, located on Troy's town square, is well worth the drive to Miami County for steak, pork chops or The Caroline's Dutch Apple Ice Cream. Yum. More »
