Where to Score Last-Minute Reservations for Mother’s Day Brunch

Just like Valentine’s Day, it can be a real feat to score a reservation for Mother’s Day. With the flower-filled holiday just 10 days around the corner on Sunday, May 13, many prime places mom loves are already fully booked. But not all.

Eater has tracked via Open Table which tables (at reasonable brunch times) are still available for a group of four at new, generally reliable, or particularly standout D.C. restaurants. Centrolina chef Amy Brandwein, nominated for best chef Mid-Atlantic at next week’s James Beard Foundation Awards, has a few tables up for grabs at her Italian eatery. As does Penn Quarter mainstay Rasika and the Michelin-rated Inn at Little Washington.

Downloading specific apps like Reserve could reveal additional tables. And for more potential dining inspiration, refer to Eater’s Spring 2018 Brunch Heatmap.
