    The Library was a positive classic experience. The food and the service was more than exceptional. Robert was the perfect waiter. Our dinner experience was nostalgic, and for that it was very special. Thank you!

    Had a wonderful experience during our first visit. The food was wonderful and the service was superb. Our server even recommended we visit 88 Keys next door and we had a blast. Made for a wonderful date night. Will definitely be back.

    We started with the escargot, which did lack a depth of flavor, though it was good, and I would reorder. I believe that a hint of salt would do the trick and make this top tier. I had the Duck Cerrise, which was perfectly prepared. The cherry jam was to die for. My wife had the menu salmon, and it, too, was perfectly prepared, perfectly seasoned, and highly recommended.

    One of our favorite dining venues for special occasions. The library offers many of the classics in every elements of the meal. Enjoyed sharing appetizers of shrimp cocktail and one of beef tips with bearnaise sauce. For Entrees a very tender & flavorful beef tenderloin paired with a lobster tail cooked French style (not salt water) & Long Island duck breast in a cherry glazed sauce. We selected Cherries Jubilee for desert. It is a difficult to choose among bananas foster traditional cakes & specials of the day in rounding out the meal. The Library presents an exceptional wine list containing several labels above the $200 price level but also offers several good selections in the $80-100 range. Table service is excellent, attentive but not intrusive. The Library is well our normal $120-200 dinner out budget, but it is an experience worth the extra cost.
