   The entire staff from our hostess to waitress to manager were all amazing! The food was outstanding. Four of us dined and shared apps and tried each other’s dinners and there wasn’t one thing we didn’t all enjoy. We arrived on time but there was a bit of delay getting us seated. The hostess continually checked in with us and made sure we were seated as soon as a table was available. The manager was apparently made aware (not by us) and at the end of our meal she offered us desserts on the house, which was both unexpected and very much appreciated. A great touch and ending to an overall outstanding experience. We will be regulars here from now on!

   Wonderful restaurant will be going back soon. I did have a reservation issue though. I used open table to make a reservation for 4 people. When I arrived they said it was for 2. No problem they seated us anyway but I am curious how that happened.

   The setting was only out done by the quality of the food and service. The rack of lamb was phenomenal and the filet was cooked perfectly. And the cream brûlée was a first rate finish! We’ll definitely be back!

    Our waitress was not very attentive from the start as we waited a while to order our drinks. Then are apps came out on time and were both good choices. Unfortunately our entrees were very slow coming out. The service person did not come back until we were almost finish to see if we needed anything else. The dinning room was not busy when we 1st arrived so it didn’t seem that she would have been overly busy to not come back to our table. Several of us ordered the salmon entree which did not seem fresh. Since there are other restaurants options that we feel are better in the area, we will not come back to the Library.
