Always enjoy our visits to Libby’s. Conversation can be a challenge at times due to the noise level and or acoustic design of the facility. We will return and just wanted to pass on appropriate feedback.

Our meal was outstanding! The appetizer rock shrimp and crab lollipops was off the charts! The Santa Fe salad and Orange Chicken as entrees were excellent. Our server, Cici, was extremely attentive, patient and friendly. She did a wonderful job. Zachary, the manager, came around to our table to ask whether we were enjoying our meal, whether there was anything he could do for us and just overall very friendly and helpful. Libbys is a lovely restaurant.

Food was excellent and Brian, our server, was even better. His attention was spot on and not over-attentive. The noise level was a little higher than I like making it somewhat challenging to carry on a conversation.

Libby’s food was excellent along with the waiter. The noise level was absolutely unbearable I will never return. If a person has to scream to have a conversation and ends up with a sore throat all is lost. Hard to believe a restaurant would not consider good acoustics so people can truly enjoy what they came for. Will never return.
