About The Library - inspired by the George Peabody Library

The Library restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, with outstanding food and service. The menu features delicious dishes such as the bread and butter board, peach and burrata salad, and steak, all expertly cooked. The atmosphere is unique, with books stacked high, creating a cool look, but it can be a bit loud, making conversation challenging. The wine selection is nice, and special drinks are a highlight, including rich sangria and specialty ice that guests enjoy. The food quality remains high, with favorites like scallops, brussel sprouts, and the breakfast pizza. The warm cookies and milk may not always meet expectations, but the tomato soup has received praise. The location is in the heart of the hospital district, with a lively atmosphere and steady traffic. Live music adds a special touch, enhancing the experience. Reservations are recommended for the best visit, and the friendly service, especially from the staff and the manager, makes it a solid choice for dining out. Guests have praised the breakfast board for its abundance and deliciousness. While some have found the fish tacos less impressive, the overall experience at The Library, including the attentive and friendly service, has led to many memorable dining moments.

Arrived and was seated and was not checked on for over 15 minutes, numerous people walked by started clearing but no one asked about drinks or food. Poor service wow!!

Approached manager at the front and not she was not helpful just a lame excuse of “I’m sorry”

Will not be returning due to this poor service, Completely shocked at this! And disappointed

Delicious & Beautiful 😍 definitely recommend this cute café style restaurant 😋

This will definitely be added to our list of favorites. The service was excellent, the drinks were amazing and the food was phenomenal! The decor, atmosphere, and we'll thought out details just pulled it all together. We specifically had the Beet Salad, Fish Tacos, Chocolate Chip bread, and kids Grilled Cheese. Everything was excellent!
