Excellent food and service - the beef wellington was phenomenal - bartender was great - so friendly and made our drinks to our specific taste requests - the cocktails were awesome - the restaurant wasn't loud which was so nice as you could easily talk to your dining companions which is so rare these days - the restaurant was a little dark for my tastes but very comfortable and overall an excellent dining experience with really, really good food

The Library never disappoints. The food is wonderful and we love our waiter Michael. He is so knowledgeable about wines and we find that very helpful in picking out a wine for dinner. The Salmon is fantastic along with the Filet. The crab cocktail was huge lumps of crabmeat. We highly recommend going to the Library.

The food was only fair and the timing of the courses was off. Dinner came out immediately after appetizers were cleared, bread didn't come out until dinner was served, etc. We were overall disappointed with the food, especially given the price point. However, the service was very good and we enjoyed our waiter, Michael.

Banana's Foster was great - French onion soup was great- Filet not as good as we remember from the last several times we have eaten there, perhaps an off night. Server was wonderful can't remember his name.

We went for our anniversary, and it was one of the best places we have celebrated the special day. A lot of food choices and we had the filet Minon and la orange duck. Both were excellent. Service was spot on.
