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!

If you’re in Monrovia, craving Italian food. This is the place! Delicious pasta, the Mannys special Pizza is delicious and any Steak you get is juicy and very tasteful. Aside of the food being on point. So is there service. The bartender is so funny and welcoming. I already can’t wait to go back

Every time we get chef Chris we have a great time and he’s always spot on with the food. We always enjoy going to this location, besides the struggle of parking on weekends.
