    Our group of 9 had some food sensitivities/allergies and there were plenty of delicious options for everyone! The staff was amazing and the food/drinks were very reasonable priced. 10/10 will be returning again!

    Our server, Michael, was wonderful. Very attentive and our dinners were delicious. (Salmon and ribs). Our only complaint is that our Old Fashioneds had way too many bitters in them! Otherwise a very good experience and we’ll definitely be back!

    Our waiter was very efficient. It was very busy in the restaurant so the noise level was extremely high, hard to talk to my husband. Food - My husband (Jerry) started with a very boring Caesar salad, tasted like bottled dressing, not made the correct way. I (Julia) had a Wedge salad that was good with a couple strips of crisp bacon, tomatoes and Maytag Blue cheese dressing. I have been ordering Matag blue cheese from their farm in Iowa for years.. and I love it. My husband ordered the wonderful bourbon glazed salmon (moist and delicious) he said the creamy spinach was good too, but the mashed potatoes were just ok. I am retired Executive Chef and College Culinary Arts Instructor so I am always very judgmental of food. I ordered the crab and shrimp burger and it was good, although I would have loved a gluten free bun. It came with crisp fries and we ordered a side of cream corn. It was ok, but I have enjoyed better. We didn't have dessert, but what we saw from other diners looked good. All in all we had a nice time, decent meal and it was enjoyable. We will go back again. Thank you, Julia and Jerry B.

    The Grouper wasn’t done in the middle and I asked for green beans instead of the spinach. Otherwise, it was ok.

    We had a delicious Christmas day dinner. I chose the restaurant over many others because they had enough variety to accommodate my vegetarian wife, and my elderly in-laws visiting from Germany. My wife loved the cauliflower steak, and my in-laws and I thought the 24 hour slow cooked short ribs were excellent. Most restaurants have nothing for vegetarians and it's so difficult to find both meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. They did a great job at Libby's with both.
