WHO:
Epicurean Hotel and its Élevage SoHo Kitchen & Bar in Tampa
Fenway Hotel and its HEW Parlor & Chophouse in Dunedin
WHAT:
Mother’s Day tends to mean crowded dining rooms and predictable menus. Two Tampa Bay boutique hotels are taking a more thoughtful approach, with chef-driven brunches that lean into experience as much as execution.
Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet at Élevage SoHo Kitchen & Bar
At Epicurean Hotel, the focus is on abundance and interaction. The brunch buffet features multiple chef-attended stations, including benedicts, authentic Liège waffles made to order and a Tomahawk carving station. The spread moves well beyond standard brunch fare, with chilled seafood selections like shrimp, cocktail crab claws and oysters with key lime remoulade, alongside composed dishes and all the classic brunch favorites. Dessert finishes strong with strawberry rhubarb cobbler, pecan pie and key lime pie. Reservations recommended via OpenTable. $85 per adult, $25 per child; children under 3 complimentary.
Mother’s Day Brunch at HEW Parlor & Chophouse
Fenway Hotel is taking a more curated, à la carte approach, layering seasonal specials into its classic brunch menu. Dishes include brie and caramelized onion quiche with truffle hollandaise, pan-fried trout meunière over angel hair pasta, petite prime filet, and playful options like Monte Cristo skewers and coco banana bread with burnt butter cream. The setting, overlooking Dunedin’s waterfront, adds a quieter, more relaxed alternative to the typical holiday rush. Reservations recommended via OpenTable.
