The Derby is more than a restaurant. Established in 1922, it has been family owned and operated since 1951. It is a grand museum showcasing some of horse racing’s greatest moments. Diners are invited to take a break from the rush of modern life and travel back to the time of George Woolf, Seabiscuit, and relive the excitement of “The Race of the Century”. We excel in offering the best meat and fresh seafood hand selected by our longtime executive chef that would delight even the most discriminating of taste. Some of the menu highlights include the Bacon Wrapped Filet, Delmonico New York, Prime Rib and Shrimp Scampi. We offer a wide selection of wines by the bottle and by the glass. Relax and enjoy a delicious meal in one of our iconic red leather booths, take in a beautiful evening on our terrace, or watch a sporting event in our bar and lounge. Dining at The Derby can only be compared to the feeling of holding the winning ticket when you smile and know that you made the right choice!

    Great time. Wonderful service. Wonderful food. From the moment we were greeted at the door until the time we left, (and we were not rushed out of there) every employee we encountered was friendly and cheerful. It was nice to go somewhere that the employees were happy. Desiree helped us through the menu and made helpful suggestions. Our first time there - definitely not our last.

    Dined on 11/6/24. My husband was with me and my two kids. Our first time there. We ordered the happy hour oysters (12) and an order of the clams & mussels. Both fantastic! All 4 dinner entrees my family ordered were presented beautifully. Big portions and great flavor. Service was great. Many servers tended to us. Water never went dry. Enjoyed our experience. We will return.

    It was a busy Saturday evening and I was so glad I made a reservation through Open Table. We only had to wait about 5 minutes. The food was great and was served in a timely matter after we ordered. Our server was also very nice and efficient. He came y the table often to inquire if everything was ok. We had a great experience.
