Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In Sumner

SUMNER, WA — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Sumner brunch or dinner spot?

Restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating under the Healthy Washington guidelines, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you're still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery remains an option in many places.

There are a few restaurants around Bonney Lake and Sumner that are always good bets to pamper Mom, including:

• Mama Stortini's, which has just opened a new location on East Main St. between Puyallup and Sumner, offers American favorites and Italian classics, with a Pacific Northwest twist. They offer food deliveries via DoorDash, but also have reservations open on OpenTable.
• Toscanos Italian Grill, located at 437 29th St NE Ste C, Puyallup, features fresh, locally sourced meat, seafood and produce. They offer To Go orders, but they have also revamped their dining areas for a post-COVID experience, and have reservations available on OpenTable.
• Trapper's Sushi, in the Sunrise Village Plaza, is perfect if your mom is in the mood for something fun, fresh and fishy this holiday. They're open for in-person dining from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and have reservations available online.

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.

Many restaurants offer prix fixe menus, signature cocktails, decadent desserts and five-star service.

Here are a few more suggestions to get you started:

Olive Garden, which has locations at the South Hill Mall in Puyallup and at 1921 S 72nd Street in Tacoma, offers family-style takeout meals for five that include ready-to-bake entrees and breadsticks with homemade alfredo or marinara dipping sauce, and a large house solid with the signature Italian dressing.

Outback Steakhouse, located at 12920 Meridian E. in Puyallup or 3111 S. 38th St. in Tacoma, offers a deal for moms to enjoy a filet and lobster tail, or prime rib, between May 6 and May 12. Diners can also tack on a lobster tail to any entree for $9.99 or a crab cake for $6.

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, located at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seattle, offers a prix fixe family meal for four that includes its signature Surf & Turf (a 6-, 8- or 11-ounce filet paired with buttery cold water lobster tail); a Caesar or steak house salad; and a choice of two from a list of sides that includes garlic mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, steamed broccoli or sweet potato casserole; and a mini cheesecake.
