Let’s face it, if anyone deserves a great meal out it’s Mom on Mother’s Day! She’ll thank you for the break, yay! No cooking and no dirty dishes.
If you and your Mom (or a Mom you love) are lucky enough to be on Anna Maria Island on Mother’s Day and you’re taking her out for dinner (c’mon, take her out!) you’ll have lots of options to choose from. Some are on the island and some are near the island.
Not on Anna Maria Island but very close, Pier 22 on Bradenton’s gorgeous Riverwalk is offering a special Mother’s Day Brunch and Dinner menu. Not only is the food delicious, but the sweeping view of the Manatee River is spectacular. Inside and patio dining is available. Reservations suggested.
