On Mother's Day, get a taste of France without leaving Georgia at Bistro Niko. Located in the heart of Buckhead, this restaurant offers classic French fare that is both authentic and affordable. They have a lovely wine list, craft beers, and their charcuterie board is not to be missed.

Specializing in Spanish Basque cuisine, expect to find beautifully prepared meats and fish grilled over hot coals, Basque tapas and a refreshing cocktail list. I suggest giving the wild mushrooms served with pork demi-glace and sheep’s milk cheese a try — mom won't be disappointed.

The Chophouse offers casual elegant dining inside and outside, as well as at the boating casual Lakeside Bar and Grill. Enjoy live music, fine American and regional Southern cuisines, great steaks, artisanal cocktails and an extensive wine list.

With an "eat local, be local" philosophy, Steel Magnolias serves up urban Southern cuisine using local ingredients, which is a nod at the roots of classic Southern cuisine and showing them a new way. Their cocktails are amazing, and the pulled pork deviled eggs sell out early.

The Grey is one of my all-time favorite Savannah restaurants. With a "global" menu firmly rooted in the South, you can expect to find dishes like fish tagine, pickled shrimp and smoked collard greens.
