Mother's Day Brunch in Camarillo

If a $50+ buffet is not your move, Country Harvest is the answer. Specialty Mother's Day menu items run $15.95 to $19.95 alongside their regular menu, plus mimosa specials starting at $7 and mimosa buckets for $25. House beer, wine, and champagne are $5 with an entrée. No fixed price, no buffet line, no committing to anything. Just breakfast for Mom.

Kids under 5 eat free at Ottavio's, and kids up to 14 are $19. Champagne brunch buffet covers Italian comfort food (chicken marsala, lasagna, sautéed salmon, tri-tip Barolo) alongside classic brunch (eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes), a salad bar, and desserts including tiramisu and mini cannolis.

All-you-can-eat Mexican brunch buffet with bottomless mimosas included in the adult price, a live omelette station, handmade tortillas, and their signature fluffy waffles. Senior pricing at $30 (add $10 for bottomless mimosas) makes this an easy pick if you are bringing Grandma along too. The bottomless mimosas being baked into the price is the differentiator.

A complimentary mom-osa for every mom, live acoustic blues and soft rock from 11 to 2, and a buffet that ranges from charcuterie spreads and shrimp cocktail to grilled salmon with hollandaise, brisket breakfast tacos, and cornbread waffles. The chef is gluten-free, so vegan and GF options are built into the menu rather than tacked on.

The most flexible option on the list. The 9 to 10:30am Early Bird is $35 and gets you the omelette bar, fresh pastries, and fruit. After 10:30 the full buffet kicks in at $75 and adds the prime rib carving station, snow crab, shrimp cocktail, ceviche, chicken piccata, and "Jimmy's" lamb t-bones. Add $15 for bottomless mimosas. Go early to spend less, go late to go all-in.

The splurge. Book before May 1 for $69, otherwise $85 per adult. What that gets you: live jazz, chef's carving stations (California herb-crusted beef roast, honey-glazed ham), a made-to-order eggs Benedict bar with four hollandaise variations, lobster ravioli, citrus chimichurri salmon, sushi rolls, gourmet flatbreads, a dessert bar (coconut panna cotta, espresso bread pudding, chocolate buddino), and bottomless mimosas, cocktails, and beer. Two-hour seating, but you will not be hungry leaving.
