The Experience

As an American Airlines AAdvantage® Mastercard® credit cardmember, you're invited to Bloom & Bites – a garden-inspired brunch in celebration of Mother's Day! Enjoy seasonal flavors, hands-on creativity, and a thoughtfully curated atmosphere designed to inspire connection and bring the community together in full bloom.

 

The afternoon begins with a cheerful welcome reception featuring seasonal bites and playful, botanical-inspired cocktails and mocktails. Then, roll up your sleeves for a guided, hands-on floral arranging workshop led by a local florist, where you'll craft your own take-home bouquet while learning tips on cutting, textures, and vibrant spring colors. Sip, snack, and mingle as you create, making this a truly blossoming celebration of creativity and the spring season!

 

After the workshop, guests will return to the main dining room for a multi-course, seated brunch experience. The menu has been specially curated to celebrate our event, an exclusive lineup you won't find on the everyday menu! Executive Chef Dylan Patel will lead the culinary creations, with perfectly paired beverages by Wine Director Bret Heiar, and a show-stopping dessert by pastry chef Natalie Saben. Throughout the brunch, you'll hear from each of these talented individuals, making it a true collaborative experience that delights the senses from start to finish. A live entertainer will set the mood as guests enjoy the afternoon!

 

This is more than just brunch! Bloom & Bites is a full lifestyle moment – designed to spark connection, encourage creativity, and celebrate spring through food, florals, and ambiance. From garden to glass, and bites in between, brunch is completely reimagined. It's a perfect way to spend a Saturday honoring all the incredible mothers, parent figures, and caregivers in our lives!

 

As valued American Airlines AAdvantage® Mastercard® credit cardmember, you will receive complimentary access to this experience.
