These NorCal Restaurants Among 100 Most Popular Brunch Spots In U.S.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — Four Bay Area restaurants — two in San Francisco and two in the Wine Country — have been included in a new list of 100 Most Popular Brunch Spots for 2023. The list, compiled by online reservation website OpenTable just ahead of Mother's Day, is based on the analysis of more than 13 million diner reviews.

The following Bay Area restaurants made the list:

• Brix – Napa
• Greens Restaurant – San Francisco
• the girl & the fig – Sonoma
• The Palm Court at RH – San Francisco

Mother’s Day was the second-biggest dining day of 2022, and the majority of reservations were booked five days in advance, according to OpenTable survey data. To get a table, reserve now — or at least by May 9, experts say.

The survey, conducted for OpenTable by the online research and data analysis group YouGov, found that 78 percent of U.S. adults plan to celebrate Mother’s Day with a meal out, and that they’ll spend the same or more than they have in previous years.

Also, according to the survey, about 30 percent of moms want to go to their favorite restaurants; 18 percent don’t care where they go, but want the menu to feature their favorite cuisine; 15 percent want to try something new; 12 percent want to eat outdoors; 6 percent want an elevated culinary experience; and 5 percent want to eat at a woman-owned restaurant.
