To top it off all Moms will receive a complimentary dessert! And starting at 6pm, Dylan Joseph will be providing entertainment in the Loft.

At Flanagan’s, Penny tells us that every mom gets a free dessert!

And many have welcomed the much-anticipated return of Drake’s Restaurant, which opened its doors on May 1st. Chef Lorenzo Cecunjanin  and his wife Jasmina and daughter Izabaella will be open Sunday for Mom’s Day.
