the bedtime story that my mother used to tell me is being made into a movie.

Explanation:

1. For "where we often go to relax": It contains a subject ("we") and verb ("go"), so it is a clause. It is set off by commas and provides extra non-essential information about the already specific shopping center, making it nonrestrictive.
2. For "that my mother used to tell me": It contains a subject ("my mother") and verb ("used to tell"), so it is a clause. It is essential to identify which bedtime story is being referred to, and it has no commas setting it off, making it restrictive.

Answer:

1. nonrestrictive clause
2. restrictive clause
