Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Libby's in Sarasota is a vibrant neighborhood gem known for its "fantastic food," "excellent service," and "great atmosphere." The menu offers a "wide variety" that caters to all tastes, with highlights like the jalapeño Mac n cheese and Chilean Seabass. While the indoor noise can be high, outdoor seating provides a pleasant alternative. Enjoy "creative dishes" and attentive servers like Steven, Claudia, and Jordan who enhance the dining experience.

    The indoor noise level was unbearable so we were able to switch to an outside table. We ordered a drink and waited. And waited. The waiter brought our food out, but we told him we had not had our beverages yet we were trying to have a relaxing dinner. The beverages finally came and the waiter brought the same food back out about 15 minutes later. Needless to say, it was not hot or fresh. we will not be returning.

    Service was excellent! Menu recs were divine! Get the jalapeño Mac n cheese side, as well as the tuna tataki app. Very happy with our meal here. Everyone in our party enjoy what they ordered. Was looking for a spot that could accommodate kids as well as a nice variety for adults, Libby’s nailed it!

    Food and service were terrific; it was slightly noisy, and probably eating outside would have been better. We plan to go back next week, as everything was so good.

    A friendly atmosphere with decent but limited menu. Not everybody likes mashed potatoes & French fries.
    Libby's - SarasotaResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you Ali for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy the sides. Our jasmine rice and seasonal veggie are just some of the other options that you can try. We hope to see you again soon for another chance to serve you a different version of our menu.
