    I visited Libby’s today for my birthday with my fiancé and sister, and unfortunately, our experience was not what we had hoped for. While we were looking forward to celebrating, we encountered a few issues that made our visit less enjoyable. Our server, Miroslava, didn’t mention the specials, which would have been helpful, and the overall service felt a bit lacking. Additionally, the bottle of wine we ordered didn’t come with a cooler, so it warmed up quickly, which was disappointing. We also tried three different appetizers, and all of them, including the arancini, seemed like they had been frozen rather than freshly prepared. Given the combination of service and food quality, we ultimately decided not to stay for the main courses. I wanted to share this feedback in hopes that it helps improve the experience for future guests.

    This was my first visit to Libby's on Hillview Avenue in a while. My lunch companion and I thoroughly enjoyed our entrees and the Chocolate Decadence for dessert. Our server was wonderful; very pleasant and helpful. The other staff members also were quite nice.

    Started with Brussels which were seasoned very well. Had the salmon and chicken picata for entrees. Also very good. Service was efficient and unhurried. Very nice experience.
