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

For this week's Readers' Choice contest, we ask for your favorite Novato spot for a spectacular Sunday meal.

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.

This was emailed to me by someone who attended. So many Bay Area Residents oppose Governments PlanRead More Bay Area.

Susan thank you for posting this. Chris Pareja is an articulate speaker whose message needs to beRead More acknowledged. While community activists claim Plan Bay Area is the answer Chris uses their own statistics to point out how little is accomplished and the real hypocrisy behind advocates claims that it will provide "equity". Chris attended the Plan Bay Area Debate at the Civic Center and spoke there as well. Kinsey completely ignored his comments and kept repeating the party line: Plan Bay Area is the only answer we have so it is "good enough." Anyone who hasn't yet should take the time to watch the debate as it is a real eye opener. Kinsey's responses are quite disconcerting if he is being touted as the local expert on Plan Bay Area. I was shocked by how little he seems to understand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOE7Hyd5B40&feature=youtu.be

Wow, the website is just beautiful! I can't figure out how to download more of the images but theRead More quilts are just amazing and would be great to see. Maybe Karen can post more with the article. There is one that is titled "Quilt in a Day" and uses batik material. There is another one called "Follow the Light" that is a wall hanging. http://quiltelegance.danemcoweb.com/shop/product/follow-the-light/ I hope business is booming we are lucky to have you here in Novato.

Karen: Are you going to be doing beginner classes? I didn't see any on the calendar but thoughtRead More maybe in the fall. I saw the "Hoffman's Cracker's" and thought how much fun it would be to learn with such beautiful fabric.

Hi Jim. Thanks for clarifying . Most of us assumed you were the new Novato Patch editor.
Jim Welte (Editor) June 17, 2013 at 10:55 am
Which is a fair assumption since my name and face are on it for now. Sorry for the confusion. In theRead More interim, I am more than happy to answer questions or address any concerns about the new design or our coverage of the community.
Tina McMillan June 17, 2013 at 01:03 pm
Jim What is the best way to reach you with questions and offers of help? If there is a way toRead More personalize each Patch to its community that would make a huge difference. Brent would post news articles as the primary focus. The comparison to a "penny saver" is the biggest problem with the new design. It does not favor news which is what many people are interested in. If San Rafael Patch is hosting the Plan Bay Area articles then doesn't it make sense to cross post them to Novato's front page too? Looking for news was never a problem with the old Patch, now finding the news in the middle of the garage sales, ads for businesses and announcements is where many people are stuck. It's unfortunate that Back Bay is the old design. It means corporate is throwing out what was the best of Patch. Is there anyone to write to, to suggest that the changes in format are not supportive of a online news source?
