Derek’s Steak and Seafood

This is a repost that Unilocal’s automation removed from the ratings.
«We went back again, I had to drop my rating from 4 stars to 2. Got there at 5pm on a Friday night. We were the only ones there all through dinner. The service was ok. It was the food. The rolls were very small. half the size as they were before. The wedge salad looked like it was thrown together and kind of bland. I had the swordfish again. The fish was a thinner cut than before. But what annoyed me the most was the BAKED potato. It was DEEP FRIED!!! Why would anyone deep fry a BAKED potato. My wife liked her entrée, she had the pine nut crusted chicken. This was the only reason I didn’t drop it to a one star rating. I won’t be going back again. Oh and I can tell it is still under the previous management, The receipt says Zio Paolos Trattoria. And one more odd note, The music they play has commercials?!

8÷26÷2015 6pm. It was my husbands birthday and we were out to order what ever we wanted. This is a hidden gem for sure! Todd ordered the 45 day aged NY sirloin signature steak served on top of crispy bread slice so the meat juices soaked in with a baked potato. I had the swordfish with capers in white wine sauce served over egg noodles. Both meals were super awesome and this is our new favorite spot to dine. Prices are great for the quality and quantity. The deco and atmosphere was like a modernized updated Ken’s Steakhouse or a real NY style steakhouse. Check this place out. You’ll love it!

Generally speaking, I am NOT a fan of chicken, and I haven’t ordered it in a restaurant in 30 years. But the ingredients in the stuffed chicken caught my eye, and I decided to go for it. IT WAS FABULOUS, with its spinach and artichoke heart stuffing, and sublime gorgonzola sauce, and I will definitely go back for more. Everything about this place was enjoyable, from the attentive, but not cloying service, to the great food, and the fair prices. All they need now is a little publicity to get more bodies in the door, and maybe a few pops of color in the bar and restaurant to warm up the beautiful, but overly masculine décor.

First of all it was Saturday 7÷25÷2015 when we drove up and looked that there was no one there and wondered if it was open. The front of the restaurant was not so inviting, we decided to give it a shot. We walked in to find the place was empty except of two people sitting at the bar, we still decided to give it a shot. My wife ordered a French Onion Soup for $ 7.95 well it was not worth the cost, we have much better for a lot less. We also ordered the Boudin Balls which have potential of being great if they add a little more filling and cut back on the pastry dough, the pastry dough was raw/​not fully cooked, but they were good but getting only 3 for $ 9.95 in my opinion is a little pricey. My wife ordered the «Signature Steak» it was cooked perfect but it was fatty and tough. I ordered the «Cowboy Steak» it was also cooked perfectly and the presentation was excellent, mine was not fatty or tough.
So all in all the food is good, the owner is approachable and we would come back again. I would like them to look at there menu pricing and make adjustments on their appetizers to make them more appetizing.

In a world full of sub par food and ho hum selection. .Dereks is a breath of fresh air. The wait staff are a friendly bunch, food was top notch. This is my 4^th visit, ‘love this place!

I went last night for the third time in recent weeks and for the third time had a great meal. the stuffed sole is awesome, the chicken parm is the best I have had at a restaurant ever. the service from the wait staff has always been friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Tried this place when it first opened and the menu just didn’t suit me, but it has expanded a lot since then. I have come 3 times in the last month and never been disappointed by the service or the food. the calamari is light and crispy and delicious it doesn’t overwhelm the delicate taste of the calamari it enhances it. Derek’s stuffed chicken is amazing corn bread is delicious and chicken parm is to die for. The service is consistently friendly and this is the best little secret I know.

We went last night with a small group, and we were all very disappointed. It was very quiet for a Saturday night, yet it still took 15 minutes after being seated to even see a server, After what seemed like an eternity we finally got drinks and bad corn bread with garlic butter??? After asking for the server’s recommendation I ordered the swordfish, which was not fresh, very small and just not good. Baked potato arrived about 10 minutes later, server forgot my vegetable which came out after the meal was over. Our server must have realized how bad the experience was as she gave us chocolate cake to go at no charge. Chock this one up to experience, we paid our bill, left a decent tip, and will not return.

Went there last night and place was great new menu had jambalaya and a neworleans dish… Dont see that too often in Medway. onew of the best looking restaurants around and food is good. Better with new menu

The bar looks awesome and this place has potential but they need to advertise and let people know they exist. Dead at 5:35 pm on a sat???

Derek’s has excellent service, delivered our food extremely quickly, and the menu had choices for all palettes. My husband and I both ordered fried oysters. The batter was light, served nice and hot, and they came with a chipotle seasoned tartar sauce that was absolutely delicious. I’m not usually a big fan of french fries but their Hurricane fries are outstanding! i hope the owner starts advertising to attract more customers soon because we wouldn’t want to see this great neighborhood restaurant fail due to people not knowing about it. You really should give it a try!

This is a great new place in Medway with something different to offer. It has been empty each time we went and we always go on Saturday nights. The food is FABULOUS! My husband loves the Chicken Fried Steak & Chicken and Waffles. I have had the Pulled Pork Po Boy & Stuffed Chicken. The pulled pork was so delicious and the bread it was served on was equally as great. The hurricane fries are delish! The drinks are well made and the selection of vodka was surprising at first but the waitress explained they are using American made products. The Southbound Greyhound is my favorite drink! We have had the same waitress each time and she is wonderful and very pleasant. We love this place and are very excited to try the burger place when it’s up and running too.
The reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is that the inside décor doesn’t match the menu and music. They play country which I love and it’s somewhat loud, which is great when you fill the place up. The décor is not at all country and appears to be fine dining which it’s not. It still is zio paulos inside but with a new menu. I think they should move in a different direction for décor and waitstaff uniforms and then the atmosphere would jive with menu and music.
The food and service however are fabulous!

A great new place in Medway!

Ashley and Ashley are a power team on the bar! Awesome drinks and the food is awesome… The sauce in the swordfish was out of this world! Always great to come into a place where the people always know your name!

Awful. We went on a Saturday night and there were only people at 5 tables. Hostess wore cutoff jean shorts, not exactly white tableclothe attire. Had read menu and wanted an oyster po boy. They were out of oysters. There was only one waitress on in entire dining room. I ordered a rack of ribs, they served 4 ribs. Only ate 3 as they were not good. Waitress ran outside to watch fireworks. That left no waitress. We were there for 2 hours and not by choice. Never again.
