    Steve was our server (and we’ve had him several times) and was attentive friendly and had a great team supporting him and serving my husband’s birthday dinner We loved the honey, bourbon, salmon, and the Dr Pepper ribs. These are our favorite items along with dessert, which is Keylime pie Will be back !!!!!

    My husband and I have been to Libby's on S Osprey before so that is why we came back with friends. It was a very pleasant experience this time as well. The food was presented well - all being served at the exact same time - and beautiful looking as well as tasting wonderful. Our "new to the restaurant" friends plan to come back too. Our only issue is sometimes parking is difficult but this was a Tuesday night and lots of spaces were available. I would definitely recommend trying the restaurant if you have never been there. I believe you will like it as we do.

    The food was delicious, the server was exceptional, and the only issue was that the coffee cup had a lipstick stain and the utensils had numerous water marks.

    As always service was lacking. The manager had to come and take care of us after we had been waiting nearly 10 minutes for even a drink order. The manager was very nice and accommodating. The waiter poked his head in to check on us twice after but we felt he didn’t do anything to deserve any special tip, which he would likely get as opposed to the manager. Food was very good but not worth the price tag.
