Library Restaurant

Food was VERY good. The prices were average for a place specializing in seafood and steak. The real treat is the ambiance. If you've ever wondered what it would feel like eating a large upscale meal in a small-town library, then this place is for you. It is kinda small, and although we didn't have a problem being seated, I'm pretty sure that's not always the case. Especially if you're going at normal dinner times.

This is a very nice restaurant. The atmosphere of it is unique since it is in an old library. The food is always delicious. The steaks have always been perfectly cooked and the side dishes are always enjoyable. The sides are served family style so they are huge, the lobster Mac could be a meal in itself. Its definitely on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

We had a wonderful meal last night. The new Orleans shrimp and grilled swordfish were prepared perfectly. Our server Alex handled a packed bar area very well and provided great service. The only negative was listening to the table beside us lecture poor Alex about how he should stop serving plastic straws. The poor guy was slammed and this ivory tower couple felt the need to make themselves feel superior but wasting his time about something he has no control over. Thanks for the great meal and service and kudos to Alex for not dumping the drinks on them which is what they deserved.

I have had dinner here many times and it has been a great experience. We had dinner on April 11 and it was a disaster. We arrived at 6:30 it was approximately 30 minutes until a waitress came and gave us some water. It then took about another20 minutes until she came back to see if we wanted something to drink. She came back with the drinks in about 15 minutes. We then waited another 30 minutes until she came to get our order after asking more than once about our food it arrived in 25 minutes. We then had to ask a waitress about dessert. By time we finished dinner it was almost 9:30 lt will be a long time till we eat there again.

I grew up in Portsmouth & this was my first library visit. The martinis were on point. Their 16 oz sirloin melted in my mouth. (Which was big enough to split with my sister) and the peanut butter pie was out of this world. I WILL be back again. If not for the excellent food & service, it'll be for the decor alone. Excellent all-around experience.
