Brown Derby is beautiful, we had wonderful service and superb food. The grapefruit cake is their signature dish and I loved it.

We went for lunch as they use the Fantasmic package to fill quiet times. Really good experience.

Fussy eaters are no problem in any restaurant as they will always do things plain, hold the sauce or serve it on the side, swap mash for fries etc. However, you have to ask yourself if you were going to have everything plain, whether it is worth 2 credits for you.

We had a really nice meal with the Fantasmic dining package at Mama Melrose the other week. Food was really nice - pleasant atmosphere.
Not been to BD, but heard good things about it. Just worth noting that it costs two credits so would depend whether you had factored in for that or not.

Brown Derby was probably my favourite meal on our last trip along with Flying Fish. I'm still a little unsure why it never made the final cut of ADRs this year. I think it's because we got the taste for signatures and wanted to try the others.

Went for the Fantasmic package so dined around 4pm - one of the last Fantasmic dining package slots.. Very attentive and friendly service - not at all stuffy. It was a smaller menu for the fantasmic package but included 3 courses. I think they've dropped the starter portion now but don't quote me.

I'm not a particularly adventurous eater but they have a couple of signature dishes which get rave reviews and had to try. The Cobb salad starter and grapefruit cake dessert (not a big fan of grapefruit). Along with a fabulous steak, they were just utterly amazing. The flavours were just so deep. I'd have no hesitation in returning.

MM - difficult to comment as it was 2007 when we ate there and said we wouldn't go back again. Very poor but as I said - a long time ago and may have improved since. Although going by a lot of comments on the DIBB, I'm betting not greatly so.

We did MM in 2016 and no problem with food or service - also did BD back in 2010 and okay but not worth the extra IMO. Also we went there as a couple but MM with a 4 year old and I think menu and atmosphere better suited in MM to children-neither are rubbish and neither are amazing so I would look at fantasmic package menu and judge that way

We've done BD and although it was nice enough, I don’t think it’s worth two credits, although our server was lovely! Going to try MM next time.

I absolutely loved BD. We had 21 day DDP and this was my favourite meal out of the 3 weeks 😊
