Service was the worst we've ever had. The restaurant was understaffed and people did not pay attention once they did take our orders.

We were seated promptly. It was uncomfortably cold so had to wear jacket entire meal. It was quite loud and difficult to converse. Service was prompt and courteous. Very tasty steak and wedge salad. Portions were large. Orange chicken was very good as was strawberry shortcake. Beer and wine were tasty. Nice local restaurant.

It is a good place. A consistent B+. Not amazing, but solid and predictable. Also the menu has a lot of diverse options from burgers to fish and chicken milanese which makes it a good option for a family. Service is slow especially on a busy Friday night.

We love the ambience at Libby’s, especially dining outside. Indoor noise level can be loud so consider that when making reservations. Other than that the food is very good, service is excellent and atmosphere fun. During the cooler nights they have heat lamps. My favorite appetizer is the Brussels! Delicious!! I love the kale salad with salmon. My husband misses the meatball sandwich. Definitely a keeper when dining out!!
