At this reproduction of the famous 1940s Hollywood restaurant, the walls are lined with movie-star caricatures, just like in Tinseltown, and the staff wears black bow ties. The house specialty is the Cobb salad, which by legend was invented by Brown Derby founder Robert Cobb; the salad consists of lettuce enlivened by loads of tomato, bacon, turkey, blue cheese, chopped egg, and avocado, all tossed table-side. Other menu choices include grilled salmon on creamy polenta and Gorgonzola with sun-dried tomatoes and baby arugula; and pan-roasted duck breast and venison sausage with celery root puree. For dessert, try the Brown Derby grapefruit cake with layers of cream cheese icing. If you request the Fantasmic! dinner package, make a reservation for no later than two hours before the start of the show.

This is probably the best of the eating options at the MGM park. Food is pretty good, service is OK, and the ambiance is nice.
Outside of the theme park this would die a slow death, with the lack of specials and general over pricing - but for where it is, its decent.
