Mother's Day brunch/lunch/dinner

[jimmyjazz 45625]

Need recs for somewhere to take the family for Mother's Day in Austin.  Party of 6, youngest is 8 years old, but he can deal.  He's well-behaved.  Regardless, true upscale is off the table.  That said, I want it to be good to great food, as my wife has had a bit of a tough year and needs good family time.

There are spots available at some of our old standbys, emphasis OLD -- Manuel's, Clay Pit, Vivo, Roaring Fork -- but there have to be better options.  

Italian might be good.  My wife and I like Juliet, but . . . booked.  Alternatives?  North has disappointed lately, not going there, at least in the Domain.  I'm behind on local Italian.

Interior or other Mexican?  Fonda San Miguel and Suerte are booked.

Broad menus like Hyde Park B&G would work well, but . . . booked.  There has to be somewhere else in that vein but less long in the tooth.  Wife actually likes Cover 3, but gross, and booked.

Can't do Asian or straight seafood, food allergies.

Help?

Maddie’s?

The League might be nice and you probably have time to reserve a big table.

Booked.  (Assuming you mean Mattie's.)

Which location might be best?  They have some availability.

Chez Zee has a few early-morning slots open and several on Saturday.

Yeah, that's one of our old standards.  I think she'd prefer something a little less wheezy.

Yes, meant that.

It's not surprising that three and a half weeks out many of the spots are booked.  Good luck.

The one in Dripping has a nice open room that would be great if you can reserve it. Not sure about the other locations.

I have a couple of noon & 7 PM reservations nailed down, it's not hopeless, I was just wondering what places we might not have considered.
