If you're used to grabbing a table outside at the Brown Derby, you'll find the patio in a new spot for now. It's moved to the side of the building, into the space that used to house Starring Rolls Bakery.

I'm curious to see what changes. I think I saw somewhere they're rumored to be adding more shade, that would be nice.
