Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Libby's in Sarasota is a neighborhood gem known for "excellent food and service." Diners rave about the "Chilean seabass and Bourbon salmon," and the "key lime pie is a life changer." Although the noise level can be high indoors, outdoor seating provides a quieter dining experience. Staff like Steven, Claudia, and Gabriel receive praise for their attentive and friendly service. The diverse menu, accommodating dietary preferences, and lively atmosphere make Libby's a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

    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.

    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.

    Service and food quality were great....the restaurant is too loud to be able to talk with your friends. We even moved to the outside seating and we were seated below a speaker that caused even more problems hearing.

However, we're sorry to hear that the noise level affected your experience. We understand how this can affect the overall dining experience and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will certainly look into this issue and see what we can do to improve. We hope to see you again soon for a more comfortable and enjoyable dining experience.

    Very noisy. Ribs were good. 3 of us had Fish and chips were broken pieces of very then fish in lots of batter. Brussels sprouts tasty but large and not cooked through…. Couldn’t cut with through. Waitress didn’t present us with a bill just the debit machine with a total. Had to request an itemized receipt prior to paying. Certainly won’t return.
