A most enjoyable evening out with friends at Libbys in the South Village. The tuna appetizer was fantastic! The burger, chicken carbonara and spaghetti with meatballs were all very good. Good pours on our drinks, attentive service, another excellent time at Libbys. We'll be back again soon.

Everything was excellent, EXCEPT the Libby’s VIP coupon for a free appetizer, which I showed to our waitress when ordering, was not credited. It was only $15 and would not cause us to not come back, but it is a disappointment.

We love Libby’s new menu! The staff is incredible; they were able to move us outside to a quieter table. They understand service and we are happy to keep returning. :)

I wouldn't say "energetic" for the noise level! I'd say aggravating, irritating, and could hardly hear my table companion in conversation. Ugh. This was a Sunday at noon until about 2PM. Maybe weekdays are quieter? Server was excellent (Shannon) and food was good! But wouldn't come back again, at least not on a weekend. Way. Too. Loud.
