Best Place to Take Mom for Brunch? Highland Springs Resort, According to You

They are the winners of this week’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best Place for Mother’s Day Brunch.

Posted by Renee Schiavone (Editor), May 4, 2012 at 05:58 pm

Of the dozens of options available to take mom this mother’s day, Patch readers have named The Grand Oak Steakhouse & Bar at the best.

They are the winners of this week’s for Best Place for Mother’s Day Brunch.

The restaurant, which is already nearly booked up for the day, will offer an a la carte and prix fixe menu for the day. Brunch will be served from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and at this point the restaurant says walk-ins are welcome.

The prix fixe menu will put you back about $30. The restaurant says there will be a pianist and cello player performing live, to add to the ambiance of the day.

Mom will also get a rose and a glass of champagne.

Nearly 150 people are already scheduled to attend the brunch, the restaurant told Banning-Beaumont Patch.

That's what I meant, Jeremiah. He must have deleted his own posts, for they stayed gone, and flagged…Read More yours and ATC's out of spite. They went into the review/flag system to be checked as to appropriate content. Once determined content was not in violation of Patch policy as to personal attacks, swearing, etc. they are posted back up. It used to take a few flags to have remarks taken down for review, that is, unless the editor is paying attention and takes something very offensive down themselves. They will usually state that they did so. Now it seems that just one flag starts the process. Now we will just have to pay attention as to figure out who has the desire or motive to flag a comment that is not violating Patch policy, usually in retaliation for something said to them. I still think my theory on what transpired here stands.

Well said ATC.

Unless the City posts an open listing of all rental properties and their status, those things always fly under the radar. The City must be in that "innovative" cash flow mode. They need cash, and viola! Things just pop up.

Looks to me like a nice easy way for the city to squeeze even more money out of property owners, for…Read More a problem that doesn't actually exist. There will indeed be a cost for these inspections (look at the last sentence of the agenda item). If there was a history of ongoing issues related to the quality of rental units, that might be another story, but nowhere in the agenda item is that claim made. So they are in effect creating a solution to a non-existent problem, and billing for that solution. What, the city isn't making enough money off of Mello Roos?

Its not such a bad idea to make sure rental housing is safe. Renting out some of the brand new homes…Read More is not a problem, but the older homes rented to many tenants should have a legal CO. However, one wonders if there is a cost for these inspections, who will cover it, and if those in City government will be favored with the self-inspect clause for rental property they own.

No, Renee, no offense to you and thank you for your suggestion but I will never start doing the…Read More "Twitter" hashtag thing to point my comments in a linear stream. I will quit posting first. I notice that now that my reply to Victor's comment has been put back, but his is still gone. Will you give us all the contact phone number for the Patch executive who decided to force all this upon us without ever a trial or anything else? And I agree with Dex on another post - whoever is doing the site design and maintenance needs to get further information and training or find another job. The glitches on this web page are simple HTML errors that could have been easily fixed by this time by anyone with basic HTML knowledge. I am sorry for the advertisers here - they might have gotten more real estate, but they have far less exposure now. With drop in readership that is occurring as we speak they will soon look for other places to advertise - places that pay attention to the desires of their readers. Sorry that you have to deal with all this, Renee - you were doing a very fine job that we all appreciated until they made your life miserable right along with ours. Well, not our lives but certainly our patch experience! Jerremiah

And now it's back!?!? Wow, this "great new format" is really impressive, eh? And of…Read More course the one thing that many have wanted, many have asked for, the one thing that would have been easy to add; the ability for a person to edit their post, is still nowhere to be found. We must delete the entire post and rewrite it if we make a typo. Yeah, that's logical. Patch Powers that be: Please listen to your readership. Bring back the ability to comment on specific comments (not just at the end), bring back the "latest comments" section on the front page (so readers can see what's hot/active at a glance), and for crying out loud, add the ability to edit our posts (it's not really rocket science here, people). Those three things would likely eliminate 90% of the complaints about this new format. Of course, I'm not about to hold my breath. I don't think they really care, nor really listen.

Renee - I agree 100% with Lloyd on this and you will find all the posters who used to make the Patch…Read More an interesting read are going elsewhere. I know you are stuck with what they give you, but you need to stop defending this change and address it's failure. Holding our comments does no good - giving them to the people you deal with AFTER the site becomes set in stone will not work. Even the news stories don't rotate fast enough - the same things are on the page that were there after the changeover. I won't be using the new features - they are not nearly as user-friendly as you try to portray and new responses to blogs and new comments are hidden. If they even show up - many of my comments on this new format have posted and then disappeared. Not a good move and it has hurt your paper. Jeremiah

Hi James, Actually all the Patch sites are switching over to this format, as the west coast was…Read More just the latest roll-out. They tested this model on the east coast, and most of the sites do have our "2.0" format now. However, they do encourage us to forward on user feedback about features you guys like— and don't like.

I appreciate your thoughts and I hope you will come to take advantage of some of the new features (as you already have with this board posting.) Patch is all about getting the community involved, and that's why there are now more ways for people to post, and why the blogs are now in the main column.

March Against Monsanto official communication........... I would like to say that I am beyond…Read More honored to be a part of this. It's really amazing to see people—of all ages, from different cultures, all walks of life, different belief systems, etc.—working together as One, for the shared goal of protecting Earth and everything that Earth includes: Humans, Animals, Plants... This is a critical issue of our time and I am blessed to be a part of something that will go down in history for changing the world for the better (or, as I also like to refer to it, readjusting and returning to our truth, which among other things includes seeing the interconnectedness of things and working *with* Nature). A thought came to my mind yesterday: I'm sure you've heard that many countries already have bans and restrictions on GMOs and what Monsanto can/can't do. Yet, take a look at the Event List. You'll see the very same countries listed as participants of this March. Many people from countries that already have bans will be participating in this March along with the rest of us who aren't in that place yet [of Bans and Restrictions on Monsanto's atrocities]. They, just like the rest of us, are taking time out of their routines and schedules, putting other things on the back burner and putting in the work and effort, to take a stand, to stand together. Thank you for organizing, participating, marching... Thank you. .........Admn. for March Against Monsanto http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/p/learn-about-monsanto.html

On the contrary, evidence presented in this report indicates that GM crops: ● Are laboratory-made,…Read More using technology that is totally different from natural breeding methods, and pose different risks from non-GM crops ● Can be toxic, allergenic or less nutritious than their natural counterparts ● Are not adequately regulated to ensure safety ● Do not increase yield potential ● Do not reduce pesticide use but increase it ● Create serious problems for farmers, including herbicide-tolerant “superweeds”, compromised soil quality, and increased disease susceptibility in crops ● Have mixed economic effects ● Harm soil quality, disrupts ecosystems, and reduces biodiversity ● Do not offer effective solutions to climate change ● Are as energy-hungry as any other chemically-farmed crops ● Cannot solve the problem of world hunger but distract from its real causes – poverty, lack of access to food and, increasingly, lack of access to land to grow it on. Based on the evidence presented in this report, there is no need to take risks with GM crops when effective, readily available, and sustainable solutions to the problems that GM technology is claimed to address already exist. Conventional plant breeding, in some cases helped by safe modern technologies like gene mapping and marker assisted selection, continues to outperform GM in producing high-yield, drought-tolerant, and pest- and disease-resistant crops that can meet our present and future food needs. Conduct your own research to form your own opinion instead of repeating hear-say.
