Remember, too, that many places not normally open on Sundays may be open for the holiday, and others that you expect to be open just might be closed. Among the restaurants that have extended hours for Mother's Day are Bottega Bistro and Ruth's Chris Steak House, both in the Shoppes at Bellegrade.
Brunches are also popular for the holiday.
411 N. Harrison St. Scott Wilkes from JP Distributing will talk about wine and food pairings and will answer questions about the wine selections.

The restaurant also received a 5 Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences for 2001. . . .
