"Our anniversary and we always enjoy our meals at one of the last pony restaurants in our area . A perfect celebration from the moment we left the car with the valet. The decor is wonderfully traditional with racing mementos and jockey silks in the reception area while quietly elegant in the dining rooms. The food is impeccable. Many restaurants list a shrimp cocktail appetizer; however, one that I won't share with darling is hard to find. I strongly suggested he get his own. This is my favorite place for an excellent prime rib meal, a perfect medium rare. The service was also excellent. This visit we reconnected with Jeffery (previously at Houston's). He is definitely an asset for The Derby team. Some may remember The Trails, The Old Hickory, and The Golden Spur."

It was super busy time because is the Mother's Day. The waiting time wasn't that long. The waiter who service us are very polite and respectful. Food came out right temperature. Will definitely come back again.

Excellent lunch with friends Joe, our server, was great and his assistant, Josh, made the meal very enjoyable Joe visited our table a number of times to make certain all was ok. I will ask for his station next time we go to the Derby. View menu

We had a great dinner here with friends. The prime rib was delicious and the brussel sprouts appetizer was tasty with balsamic, lemon, and cheese. The garlic cheese bread they bring out before dinner is to die for here. Great service and ambience in an equestrian themed restaurant. Valet parking in front.

My overall experience at the Derby has made it my go-to spot for celebrating special milestones and events. It was such a delightful experience that I'm now looking for more reasons to visit the Derby more frequently. The food is excellent, and the ambiance is warm and relaxing, transporting you to a unique place and time. The teamwork among the servers is impressive, ensuring every detail is attended to, which makes every dollar spent feel worthwhile.

Made reservation and had wait. What with this concept. I showed up on time you need to reciprocate. Booth was the only one without a light. I hate using my flashlight to read menus. I have excellent eyesight. To be critical I expect a large secure in by drink not a smoothed out cube. Good news they have Boodles. A rarity. My fillet was excellent. Seafood was over cooked. Cheese bread needed more toasting. I thought the servers weee very nice. Thumbs up. View menu

To be honest, the wait between courses was a bit longer than we would have liked. I understand that extending the serving time for larger groups can be beneficial, but since it was just the two of us, the long pauses weren't ideal. It might be helpful to ask diners if they prefer a leisurely experience or if they would like their dishes served promptly. That said, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. We have no major complaints! We will definitely return.

The carpet is disgusting, outdated, and needs to be replaced. From the lounge, I shouldn't see the urinal or smell the men's room. Lounge chairs are wobbly, lights are out on the jockey caricature above the bar, greeter was unpleasant, server was competent, services was adequate, steak was overpriced, but outstanding. Clean it up. Cheer up, and get back to it. You're missing the details and there's literally no spark. After 100 years, I don't care. I want a complete experience.

"tl;dr You 'll get way better service at Olive Garden, better steak at Outback, and get more respect from people working at the DMV (and I 'm sorry if that offends DMV workers). Forgoing not getting seated until almost 30 minutes AFTER our reservation time, The Derby is disappointing in the only two areas an institution like this should matter food and service. Food: I 'll keep this quick ish, the food is not good. The ribeye I ordered was cooked nicely for medium rare, good sear and perfect doneness, but the quality of the meat itself was subpar. The particular piece of meat was mostly dorsi/eye and had no spinalis/cap. To add, the dorsi/eye was tough and dry like a cheap strip steak or chuck steak. Does this matter for a $20 steak? No! Does this matter when the price tag is pushing $60 $70+? 100% it does when I can buy Prime ribeyes locally for $35/lb and cook it just as well and actually eat it hot. When polled, the rest of the table thought the food was okay at best. $20for shrimp cocktail with 3 average sized shrimp? French onion soup with burnt and hard cheese? Soggy steak fries? These are steakhouse staples that should be slam dunks for any restaurant. Service: While we were never told the name of our waitress, I can use older Yelp reviews to deduct her name was probably Barbara, an older woman with short white hair. She didn 't greet our table until almost 20 minutes after we sat down. By that point we didn 't even know she was our waiter and she made some rather rude and off putting jokes while taking our drink order. To add insult to injury, she took orders from other tables that were seated way way after ours. We saw them getting their food before we even ordered!! Throughout the exhausting night our waitress rarely, if ever, checked in on us. Our table had to flag other waiters down for water refills, to ask when our food was coming out, etc, all while Barbara was off socializing with other customers, exchanging photos on their phones, and taking shots at the bar yep... The food was delivered to our tables some 40+ minutes after getting our appetizers, not after ordering, 40 minutes AFTER getting our appetizers, with luke warm steaks, soggy fries, and the plates basically thrown at us with disregard. Coincidentally, the food came right out we pressed our waitress for an ETA read between the lines here, she forgot and/or didn 't advocate for us to the back of house. The final straw was when our waitress disappeared again and we flagged another waiter down to get our check and desserts to go (it had been over two hours at this point). When our waitress did come by, completely oblivious to us wanting to leave, she sternly said, no, you can only tell me what you need. Truth be told, which we echoed to her as well, we wouldn 't have had to tell someone else if she actually came by our table instead of drinking with other patrons on an empty night. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk don 't come here."
