Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Spring

Had a wonderful time at The Audrey after a movie at Reel. The service by Nick and Amir was attentive, and the atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable. The food was perfection, from oysters and beet salad to sea bass and filets. For dessert we had the Tom Cruise Coconut Cake, which was delicious in flavor, though just a little dry. Next time will get an espresso with it. Will definitely be back soon!

The food was impeccable. Delicious. Creative. Artisan. These folks are good at what they do! The service was also top-notch! We had atleast 5 different people interact with us. Our main server, the hostess, a couple of others that refilled drinks and brought food to the table. We never had to ask for anything because we were offered to before we had a chance. They anticipated our requests. One oddity was that we had asked for about 3 slices of pizza to be packaged up to take home. The server took the pizza with the intention to do it and we never saw it again. However, we were stuffed by the time we left and didn't even realize it until we were at the car. So we just left it. We reasoned it was probably gone anyway. We didn't want to give the server a hard time by going back inside to demand 3 leftover slices of pizza. They all did such a great job even with this mishap. No harm. No foul.

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.

Excellent dinner last night all the way around. My reservation request of a table away from the kitchen and bathrooms was honored, allowing us to easily hear each other’s conversation. My niece, daughter, and I ordered Grey Goose martinis and a Pink Delicious-all were very tasty and would definitely order again . We agreed Hearsay’s bartender skills are always on point! Our entrées were also expertly prepared. Highly recommend the filet mignon, bistro steak, and beef short ribs. The small beet salad with its tangy dressing makes an excellent side to the weighty meat dishes. Wish I would have thought to take pictures because each item was beautifully plated.  It really was the perfect Galentine’s outing with unobtrusive but thoughtful service by Dayton who helped to make our evening special.

We loved it! The setup was nice & the music was good. The waitress Lyric was so cool but the only thing I didn’t like was the area they seated us in. I felt like we were too far from the action. She said there would be her and another waitress waiting on us, but the other chick kept passing by the table never asking us if we wanted or needed anything. We didn’t let her spoil our good time though. The drinks were good & so was the food. We’ll definitely be returning soon.
