Here’s where to take your mom — or pick her up something special to eat — on Sunday, May 8
 

other’sMother’s Day is on Sunday, May 9, which means there’s not a lot of time left to reserve a table or pre-order a takeout meal.

Amid this pandemic, not every mom is ready for indoor dining and some restaurants are pausing service. Other local establishments are offering socially distanced, decadent dining or selling kits and feasts to enjoy at home.

With restaurant capacity limited to 50 percent or 100 people, many places are booked or have canceled service this year, but a few professionals are available to help celebrate Mom this spring. Here are a few with availability at press time.
