   The hostess and staff could not have done more to be sure everyone was taken care of promptly and graciously. Everyone is treated special.

   Our first Thanksgiving at The Derby and it is official, it is going to be our new Thanksgiving tradition. We lost our mother last year on 12/31/23 and we spent the last 22 years going to pick her up, 80miles away, and going out to eat. She hated cooking but loved good food and dinning out. This was our first Thanksgiving in 22 years that we stayed close to home and without our mom. First words out of our mouths, when we tasted the food was, “mom would have loved The Derby”, we, three grabbed our delicious cocktails and toasted to our mom’s honor. From the ease of making reservations to the prompt seating when we arrived, we enjoyed every minute. The meal was both traditional and they also offered the usual prime rib and steaks. We opted for the Turkey Thanksgiving meal. It was a generous plate of succulent turkey and the best stuffing I’ve ever tasted. Included sweet potatoes , perfectly al dente green beans, a tangy home made cranberry sauce , mashed potatoes and decadent gravy. It was all so divine. We ordered a side of Marsala mushrooms (I almost sipped the juices from the bowl because it was THAT good). The pumpkin pie Made with love and you could taste every spice. The nightcap was The Derby’s version of a spiked eggnog… oh my… I could have had three of these as my dessert…amazing. Our favorite part of our evening by far was Marta our server. She was cheerful, attentive, personable, and made us feel like we were her only table…and it was obvious she had many..yikes, the place was busy, but she made our dining experience memorable as did the rest of the staff, clearing plates, filling waters, etc. We’ve been to Ruth’s Chris, Maestros , and others for Thangsving over the 22 years we went out wit mom. Not one came close to TheDerby. Mom, would definitely be proud we found The Derby for Thanksgiving.

   We go every year for Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving and Mon’s birthday , and this was the best experience we have had in years. They got us right to our table on time, we had an amazing server (Michael), the food was correct and hot (contrary to the past), and it was a perfect meal. We will look forward to seeing you guys again soon!!!!

   Eating at the Derby is always a treat. Friendly host desk, awesome waitstaff, excellent food. The Derby is most certainly a cut well above most other restaurants. The entire evening was terrific.

   Great place to go if you want to be waited on and paid attention to. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and was receptive to our food requests.

    The staff was super accommodating- we added a few more guests last minute and they were really helpful. Food (bacon wrapped filets) and dessert (bread pudding) were fabulous as always!
