Calamari is strange, par for the course I guess. The atmosphere is not much library feel. Service was faster and friendly once they knew we had a flight to catch. Just not a very good restaurant, live in northern Indiana and eat quite a bit in Chicago, for the price, we expected more but was sorely disappointed in the taste, quality, and atmosphere. Worth going to other places in Indy, this one didn't do the trick for me and my teens. Seafood greasy and not good, prime rib decent, and baby back ribs meatless. Excited for the stuffed shrimp but disappointed. Clam chowder delicious though.

Nice quiet relaxing dining experience. No obnoxiously loud music or over-the-top decor, just great food, friendly service, casual conversations and enjoyable dining. Pretty much what you'd probably expect a library-themed restaurant should be.

Terrific food. Best prime rib I've had in Al long time. We don't have many options nearby and this is a hidden gem.

We attempted carry out again, alas lackluster again... The ribs were great, they put the green beans in with the french fries. As you can imagine it turned the french fries to mush.... The order of chicken wings were harder than a brick and inedible... Friendly staff, and the food was done in a timely manner!

Our meal was excellent, especially the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. Service was great. Our waitress was on top of her game.

Had the salmon cakes as appetizer, the person with me doesn't like fish but thought these were great and would go back just for them. Had the prime rib, best I have had in long long time. Cooked perfectly. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend based on my experience.

Even though I've worked in the area for 10 years, I somehow have never tried to dining room here before. I have been upstairs in a conference room for a work meeting and lunch before. They have three dining spaces downstairs and spaces upstairs that you can rent out for meetings. They also had flyers out for murder mystery dinners they host. This visit I was eating lunch with my team from work. We arrived right around 11 and there was only a few other diners. By the time we left at 12, it was pretty packed. It's very pretty inside, they have chandeliers and paintings everywhere. They have a good selection of soup, salad, and sandwiches to choose from, including vegetarian options. They also have a bar as well. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap with cole slaw. Both were delicious. My colleagues had the Philly cheesesteak and sandwich/soup combo and enjoyed them too. They were great at accommodating our substitutions too. The prices are a little on the higher side but the food is worth it. Our server was friendly and kept our drinks refilled throughout. The only issue I had was that they sat all the tables close together (probably for convenience) but I felt like everyone could hear our conversations. We typically only get 30 minutes for lunch so we won't be able to go often, but they do have online ordering for pickup which might be a good option for us. We also all loved the bowls of peppermints as you exit. I'm glad to know there's a great non-fast food option in the neighborhood!

Classy, comfy & wide variety of options. They typically offer one or more managers special. If you're meat, lover, try the prime rib.

The ambiance would be my biggest complaint with this restaurant in combination with their prices. It had a cafeteria feel with the prices of a really nice restaurant. The service was good but the food was just mediocre in my opinion and those that dined with me. I wouldn't go back. I was hoping for more of a library feel than what they had going on. It definitely lacked character.
