The Derby - New Orleans Louisiana

This was our second visit to the Derby and even better than the first time. Our waitress was attentive and charming without being intrusive. We were so happy to with the entire experience!!! Can't wait to go back !!!

Honestly, the time between courses was a bit long for us. I can see how slowing down serving for larger parties is great. But we were just us two, and the long pauses were not ideal. It might be a good idea to ask visitors if they prefer a long casual experience or to have things brought promptly. Otherwise, the service was awesome, as was the food. No real complaints! We'll be back.

The overall experience attending the Derby has made it a go-to place for special milestones and events to be celebrated. The experience is so pleasant, Im looking for additional reasons to justify attending the Derby more often. The food is fantastic, the ambiance is comforting, relaxing, and transports you a time and feel like no other place. The teamwork of the servers ensures you are attended to with detail making every penny spent worth it.

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.

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.
