Brown Derby

Entrance

Exterior

The entrance to the Brown Derby is under a canvas canopy. A sign outside the door reads as follows:
"This building is inspired by the Vine Street Brown Derby originally built in Hollywood, California in 1928."

Also outside the Brown Derby is a small grass hill with Mickey Mouse as a living bush and six brooms from Fantasia holding buckets with flowers in them.

Foyer

The entry foyer to the Brown Derby has framed caricatures of famous celebrities on the walls, along with some photos of the original Brown Derby from the 30's and 40's. There are leather chairs and love-seats for guests to sit while waiting to be seated in the restaurant proper.

Reservations

Reservations are pretty much required in order to eat here. Usually you can make reservations that day, at least for lunch, and not have any problems assuming you get in early enough.

There is no apparent dress code.

I walked up to the host and requested a seat for lunch, and was given a reservation at 1pm by Paul.
