   Our server was excellent—very kind and knowledgeable. However, the noise level was quite loud, and there was a child who screamed every couple of minutes. While this wasn’t the restaurant's fault, it did affect our enjoyment of the meal.

   Service was rushed. There was a loud fan inside and they wanted to sit us right next to it.

   This is our favorite restaurant in Sarasota. From the moment we walk in we feel like family. Beth did a wonderful job taking care of us. It is always so nice to see the manager, Ericka with her bubbly personality. HH drinks are great. All the food items we had were all hot and cooked perfectly.

   Libby's is one of my favorite lunchtime restaurants, and it did not disappoint on my May 12 visit. I ordered the French onion soup and pulled pork sandwich. My lunch partner ordered the French onion soup and hamburger. It is worth a special visit just for the pulled pork sandwich. The hamburger was very good, but not worth a special visit, as good hamburgers are available at many other restaurants. The service was very good; our server timed the meal perfectly.

   It was Mother’s Day and they were busy, but our service was extremely slow. Our waitress was spread out over the entire restaurant, everything took a long time. When we finally got our food it wasn’t good. I got the Cuban sandwich and it had zero flavor. My daughters both were unhappy with their meals as well. We will chalk it up to being busy.

    Took my mother there for Mother's Day. We had a table for 5. The noise level was SO LOUD it was hard to talk across the table without almost shouting. It was so hard to even talk to the person next to you, you had to lean in close just to talk. The decor was not what I remembered, it was very humdrum. Then they left the large sliders to the. outside halfway open, so it got very warm inside. The server was delightful and did a good job. The food was pretty good, not great, but it pretty good. I used to love to come here for a nice and relaxing dinner, but it is just so loud now it took away from the enjoyment.
