Mother's Day Brunch near Benton Harbor, MI

Looking for someplace that does a traditional Mother's Day Brunch near Benton Harbor or St. Joseph, MI...can't go much farther north than that..we're meeting family from Chicago, so we're looking for a good halfway point.

          We went to The Pump House Grille in downtown St. Joseph. It was really good. Wouldn't mind going back and checking out their regular menu.

      I don't know of anything in Benton Harbor/St. Joe itself - maybe someone else does - but I can make some suggestions on both sides of it.

      If you don't mind meeting about 25 miles closer to Chicago along that route (I-94), the Marina Grand Resort is in New Buffalo. The chef in its restaurant, Jenny Drilon, used to own Jenny's, which was a wonderful restaurant in the area. They do an a la carte Mother's Day brunch and the menu sounds like Jenny's usual magic; you can see the menu by going to their website at www.marinagrandresort.com/bentwood and clicking on "mother’s day brunch menu".

      Here are two more suggestions if you want to meet a bit closer to you than Benton Harbor.

      If you're coming on I-94 westbound, Bravo! in Kalamazoo does a very nice buffet brunch every Sunday, so I would think their Mother's Day buffet ought to be at least as nice. www.bravokalamazoo.com

      If you're coming on I-196 southwest from Grand Rapids, Tello's in South Haven is doing a special menu for Mother's Day but it's more of a dinner menu and they don't open till 1 pm. You can view the specials on their website at www.tellobistro.com
