10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 512 Pulaski St, Riverhead
Jamesport Manor, A la carte
If you’ve got a mom who likes to sleep in and prefers fish, pasta and chicken to waffles and pancakes, the Jamesport Manor late lunch to dinner menu might just be for her. Their special menu has appetizer options like wonton tacos, almond crusted brie, and burrata and brussels and entrees of goat cheese pan-roasted organic chicken breast, almond encrusted fluke, and truffle mushroom ravioli. Finish it all off with dessert — a chocolate torte, raspberry white chocolate cheesecake or creme brûlée.
1 p.m. to 7 p.m., 370 Manor Ln, Jamesport
Vine Street Cafe, A la carte
To really wake up the morning palate, start with selections from the raw bar like clams, oysters, bay scallop ceviche or spicy tuna tacos at this Shelter Island standout. Then, move into the salads like the crispy calamari salad with frizzled carrots. If you’ve still got room, order a main like the brunch classic, chicken and waffles with sriracha honey butter or potato hash with cheese carne asada.
11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., 41 S Ferry Rd, Shelter Island
Cooperage Inn, A la carte
While the special Mother’s Day menu is still in the works, what we do know is that this Baiting Hollow restaurant — known for comfort-food classics like chicken and short rib pot pies — is always a winning spot for a special occasion brunch.
11 a.m. to 8 p.m., 2218 Sound Ave, Baiting Hollow
Windamere, A la carte
This charming waterside restaurant, which opened last fall at Strong’s Water Club in Mattituck, will offer indoor and outdoor seating with brunch specials like lobster cobb salad, skirt steak and eggs and guava cream cheese-stuffed french toast with crunchy almonds, and a gift for Mom.
11 a.m. to 4 p.m., 2255 Wickham Ave, Mattituck
Hellenic Snack Bar, A la carte
This classic greek spot doesn’t serve brunch often, but when they do, they do it right. Start mom off with one of their three special cocktails and then move into a choice of eggs benny, done three ways. They’ve got the classic, with Canadian bacon, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce; the florentine, with spinach and smoked salmon; and the de-carb-orator, with braised short rib hash and caramelized onions. From noon on, they also have a less brunch-y menu of seafood selections and more.
Brunch served until 1 p.m., 5145 Main Rd, East Marion
