   Our waitress, Alyssa, was beyond amazing! She is one of the main reasons why we would be coming back here. She was very attentive. She was on top of everything and she was very welcoming. She will be who we request every time we come. The food was delicious. Amazing job cooks. The hostess was veryy rude. And she had a crowd of teens around her talking to her. She gave no eye contact at all. I put on my reservation some accommodations prior and asked her about it and she gave such a smug response. She stated, "Oh well I will try." I do not want to have to deal with her again. Mother's Day can be a very sensitive day for those who lost their children and she was more concerned with the male waiters than tending to customers and addressing them appropriately. She would be your only downfall here. Outside of her and the crowd of employees at the hostess desk, it was such a beautiful Mother Day for my mother and I who lost our children. Thank you Alyssa for such an amazing time!

   Meh I mean it’s ok. It’s better than Applebees but not as good as Texas Roadhouse. My server forgot our shrimp cocktail which is just about the most profitable app for a restaurant so their loss. And I didn’t get the surf with my turf. She insisted I don’t order it. But as you know the server is always right.

   Absolutely incredible cut of meat perfectly cooked! Salad bar is wonderful! My wife wanted to have a burger, but she was told only entrees. This was Mother's Day, and a mother should be able have what she wants on Mother's Day, especailly when it is on the menu. We only come here on special occasions because the menu is so pricey, but we were not disappointed.

   We have need going here for over 33 years. I have never had such bad service. When waiter came, I had to ask for the specials which he only gave me a partial list. Missed out on the special I was looking for. Then had to ask for soup special. Placed my order. The appetizers came out (after waiting for a half hour at this point) at the same exact time as the main course. Dinner actually came first. Husband ordered ff. They brought a baked potato. Took it back to correct it and never got the ff. Had to wait long for a soda also. They did credit the appetizers. Husband sent his back and I took mine home. The food was excellent as usual and will go back but just disappointed do to this dinner being for a birthday and mother's day celebration

   First time dining at Library IV. Restaurant crowded for a Friday night. Wife opted for combo filet and shrimp. Entree was spot on. I opted for a Halibut special. Entree was great. Overall worth visiting again. Dining room noise made conversation challenging.

    Our waitress Evelyn was outstanding. We were a party of nine celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday. They paid excellent attention to our table. They paid excellent attention to every detail. The food was outstanding. The ambience was excellent. The salad bar was delicious. I cannot say enough good things about the Library IV. It was my first time ever going. I will absolutely positively go back again.
