Oaks/Derby dinners 2011

I know if might be a bit soon to post this, but I wanted to go ahead & book reservations somewhere for these nights in the next few days. We waited till about 3 weeks beforehand last year & pretty much every place was already booked for the amount of people we had in our group. Any restaurants that are having special Oaks or Derby pre-set menus? I saw that Corbett's is, but I haven't noticed any other restaurants that have posted their Derby events yet. Thanks!

Equus and Jack's Lounge is offering a 5-course dinner for $85 per person. The menu is posted on our website at www.equusrestaurant.com.

We are taking reservations for ParkPlace for Oaks & Derby-- we haven't quite finalized the menu yet, but have 12 spots left for Derby Day and 25 left for Oaks. As soon as we get the menu done, I will post it on here. In the meantime, you can call us at 515-0174 or email- browningsbrewery@gmail.com for more info.

I cant believe Derby is in less than 6 weeks!

Almost every fine dining/hotel establishment will be having some sort of pre fix Derby menu. Pick one now and make your reservation ASAP. Don't worry about what they will be serving because they will all likely be very similar.
Remember folks... Mother's Day will be on the day after Derby this year so choose wisely.....
