Die besten kontinentale Restaurants in Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

Dining at the Derby was quite the experience. The ambiance was great and of course the view was just absolutely beautiful. If you’re considering love cars this is undeniably the next restaurant and bar to add to your list. The food was great as well. I went around the breakfast/lunch time and ordered a steak salad which filled me completely up that I had leftovers. I also had an espresso martini and truffle fries while my boyfriend had the wagyu burger. We both left satisfied and full and still had some leftovers to take home and finish up later. The dining environment was very demure and peaceful. Our server Elijah was great and attentive to providing great service. Tours of the vehicles are available and though my boyfriend and I didn’t have time to take one we were still able to view the cars from the glass window upon entering in and there is also a over head view from the dining area that you can look out and see all the cars while eating. All in all it was a wonderful experience and a 10/10 recommend from me.

Went for Valentine’s Day so I know it’s going to be busy but the timing of the courses was so off. First course took forever then second and third came back to back and then we waited forever for the main. Table next to us had the same issue. I called ahead to ensure they had gluten free options and when I asked the waitress she told me what was gluten free. Two of the courses came out with bread/fried food on the plate so it seemed like she did not make a note that I was gluten free for the kitchen. Overall was fun with the live music but they advertised a saxophone player when in reality it was a pianist and singer. Probably wouldn’t go back as we were there way too long and it was too expensive to have the above issues.

The food was really tasty without being overly complicated. The bread service (a giant pretzel) and cauliflower were our favorite. Our server was also super attentive and made us feel immediately welcome!

My overall experience was good. When I arrived parking was valet only. We walked up and there was a line however with reservations we got seated immediately. I didn’t realize on a Saturday at 4pm brunch was going to be served but that was an oversight on my behalf. Seemed to be more of a Sunday menu. Overall the food was good. The wings were the best and all the sides!
