Thoroughbred’s
Chophouse & seafood grill (d; $$$)
Long a favorite of golfers or romantics, Thoroughbred’s is one of the top of the list in choices for an upscale dinner. It’s not a place for a quick meal, although the Paddock Bar is more casual than the dining room for drinks and a quick meal. Check out the bar for happy hour special small plates and reduced prices for house wines and beer.
Steak lovers will find an amazing pepper encrusted or coffee encrusted (yes, really) entree, and the Kentucky Derby portion of the menu offers poultry, veal and lamb, while the Preakness section offers plenty of seafood items.
Only the big eaters can make it to the home stretch for the famed Kentucky Derby pie.
