I'm a big fan of brunch at the Boathouse in Forest Park. On a warm spring or summer morning, there are few places in St. Louis that offer a more relaxing setting than the Boathouse patio. If you haven't been there on a Sunday morning, it's definitely worth a visit. If you have been there, but Mom hasn't, make it a point to take her somewhere new this Mother's Day.

You're not limited just to brunch. The Boathouse is taking reservations for brunch, lunch and dinner. And, certainly consider making a day of it. Before or after your meal, you can hit the Zoo, play golf or stop by the Jewel Box and see the Mother's Day flower show.
