What's the Best Spot for Mother's Day Brunch?

If you were making a reservation today for Mother's Day brunch, which place in Novato would you call?

Welcome to this week's Readers' Choice survey on Novato Patch. We think it's a timely one — just like last week's survey on florists. (Which was the Readers' Choice? Click here).

Contest voting (rules attached at right) comes in two forms: You can vote in the poll below, but the poll is not scientific and is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. Have fun by voting one time only in the poll, then show some love for your favorite spot by giving it a great review and a positive rating on its Patch Directory page. A place with five stars will get more points in our contest than one with three.

Why do the ratings matter more? The poll goes away after a few days, but the positive reviews and ratings stay forever with your favorite brunch spot. Plus, the reviews and ratings count heavily in the contest judging, too.

Comments from readers on this story and on the listing are encouraged but are not part of the criteria as we tally the votes Friday.

Quick top: If you're the owner or manager of one of these restaurants, click on your place and claim the free listing to enhance it by adding more details.

So here are the entries. If we've left one off of the list, let us know in the comments or e-mail the editor at brent.ainsworth@patch.com and we'll try to add it right away.

Here's your chance to tell share your recommendation. Vote in our poll and then visit the restaurant's listing and give it a star rating. We will reveal our contest winner on Friday morning, so keep tabs on the Readers Choice contest all week long.
