The Derby received mixed reviews, with some patrons criticizing the rushed service and bland food, while others praised the friendly staff and delicious offerings. Despite occasional missteps, such as long waits for drinks and subpar cocktails, the overall experience was positive for many diners. The restaurant's Halloween decor and socially distanced set-up were well-received, contributing to a cozy ambiance. Visitors also appreciated the variety of menu options, with vegan choices available. The Derby's Sunday brunch received particular acclaim for its French toast and deviled eggs, along with exceptional service by staff members like Alana and Kelsey.
