The Derryfield Restaurant

Very nice place. Went to see the EXP Band and there was plenty of dance floor to move around. Food was good, but I must critique it... The baked haddock should be topped with a savory and buttery panko breadcrumb topping, not mushy last-minute crushed and bland Ritz crackers. A wedge of lemon is standard with seafood dishes and would've been a nice squeeze of flavor for the steamed broccoli as well. However, the scrumptious soft pretzel sticks with honey mustard were some of the best I've had.

This review is for the Function room at The Derryfield. My family had a truly wonderful experience booking the Derryfield for celebration of life luncheon for 90 guests. I really can’t say enough positive things about the entire experience, but I truly believe the staff deserves this praise. The booking / planning process: Perfect! Kelly helped make planning our event menu for the day, as well as arranged for use of function room amenities (none of which we “expected” but we’re lucky to have access to.) We opted for a hot luncheon buffet, which was well priced, with a comprehensive list of mains and side courses. The staff: We had a front of house team of four who were flawless and on top in every way. Our bartender kept the cocktails flowing and the line was never long. (We had a cash bar and drink pricing was very reasonable!) Our serving staff presented the delicious food on schedule, and helped guests move through the line quickly - without feeling rushed. Empty plates, glasses and dinnerware were bussed oh-so-quickly and smoothly. Like serving ninjas, everyone moved so quickly and smoothly, with smiles and the highest level of friendly professionalism. They really made the exceptional vibe and “perfect machine” clockwork-like feeling of this event. Amazing work! The food: We chose the Bistro Steak and Stuffed Chicken entrees. BOTH were raved about! Kudos to the chef and kitchen. The chef’s choices for veggies and starch were great, the salad tremendous, and our chosen soup also delicious. (We also recommend the cheese display and veggie crudité appetizers - worth adding!) The selection of desserts were a perfect finish. All guests ate well at our event! The room: The function room at The Derryfield is incredible. Spectacular wide-angle views over the golf course, combined with the abundantly light, airy, and large space, really set the standard high. Speaking of high, the large doors and vaulted ceiling added extra drama. This would be an excellent room for a wedding reception, reunion, or any large party. The supplied linens, place settings, table and chair treatments, and overall decor in the room (and out) made for a wonderful entrance and impression. Our guest list was 90, but this room could handle considerably more. Overall, I can’t stress how happy we are we chose The Derryfield for our special remembrance event. On top of all mentioned, the value here is also super high. We didn’t choose the Derryfield because it was less expensive, but their costs were ULTRA competitive, making them hard to beat in the value category. My family will not hesitate to book this room again for future gatherings, and I certainly will refer others in the future. Thank you so much, everyone.

Best of all worlds here. You can sit inside or outside and outside under cover. Each area has a bar. Views of the golf course are all around. Food is pretty good. Good salads and sandwiches and American entree. It was a little rough with kids. They can get up and walk near the door down to the deck. I wouldn't say it's kid friendly, but if you do, I would sit inside.
