Thanksgiving with Dear Friends at The Derby in Arcadia

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/3/4/event_176923572.jpeg

The Derby in Arcadia is just down the street from Historic Santa Anita Race Track and previously owned by Seabiscuit fame jockey George Wolff. From the minute you walk in you know this is old school race track people with the memorabilia along the wall to the photos and the ambiance which is truly historic. Nice touch with booths tables giving this a really old fashioned steak house feel.

Here is what people are saying about the Derby:

"One of the LA areas finest steak houses. When you start with the best ingredients available, you don't need to rely on overly elaborate recipes or culinary fads."

"As always, the service was superb, the appetizers were great, the salads crisp and tasty and the Kansas City Filet was absolutely delicious. We usually sit in a booth in the bar where the energy of the crowd is infectious. I think the founder, George "the Ice Man" Wolfe, would be proud how his restaurant is being run."
