Setting and Atmosphere

A replica of the original Brown Derby restaurant (not the one shaped like a derby) in California, the elegant sunken dining room has curved booths, tables draped with yards of white linen, and romantic shaded faux candles. Tall palm trees in huge pots stand in the center of the room and reach for the high ceiling.

Cobb salad (named for Bob Cobb, the original restaurant's owner), duck two ways, and grapefruit cake.

Other Recommendations

Spit-roasted rack of lamb, Thai noodle bowl with coconut-crusted tofu, blue-lump-crab-cake appetizer.

Summary

The Brown Derby is one of the top theme- park-dining experiences at Disney. The same menu is in place for both lunch and dinner, so it's pricey for midday dining, but a wonderful way to take a break and regenerate. Decor is so perfect you'll feel as though you're in 1930s Hollywood; everyone really should dress in white ties and long chiffon gowns and do their best Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers impersonations here. Service is outstanding, and the kitchen turns out stellar creations.
