Cool building, and the food was ok. Service was terrible, though. It was at least 30 minutes before we were greeted and had our order taken, another 20 minutes for our drinks to be delivered, and another hour for our food. As people around us left, the tables just sat unbussed. Our server never got us refills, and we finally had to go find her to ask for our checks.
I used to be a server, and there is no excuse for this kind of service, not even if you’re understaffed. She didn’t appear to be trying very hard, and offered no apologies or explanation.
If you want a good experience, I recommend Joey’s Seafood. They have a wide variety of options (from the land and sea), the food was delicious, and the service was good. Much better experience.

Came in at 11 for food and was told kitchen was closed. Terrible service to make up a lie because they don't want to clean.

Extremely good food, don't let the price scare you, the portions are insane. The service is extremely good and the staff is friendly. Lowkey the name makes me wish there was just a lounge by the window to drink and read.

Server was very friendly, very unique theme with the books. The view there is beautiful with the leaves changing. Everyone at our table was cold and the bathroom was freezing. Soup would of been nice to help with that but they didn't have any because their chef was on vacation. My chicken sandwich was okay. A little expensive for what you get.

Honestly just not great. Food was okay I guess. The soup isn't at all the same as the original Library. Service was lousy. Server told us halfway through the evening it was his first day. We were gracious but someone should have helped him out. Probably won't be back, which makes me sad because I spent lots of time at the old Library while a Tech student.
My husband and I ate here for lunch over the weekend. We were too early for the chicken tenders unfortunately (they're that fresh and homemade) so we both ended up getting the RB2. The sandwich was delicious, but the fries and onion rings honestly stole the show. Every single one was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The waitress was kind and gave us an awesome recommendation for a hike, too!

Fried chicken tenders review. The best hand tossed chicken tenders I've ever had! It's tough these days to find any not frozen and Sysco-plain. I paired mine with their apricot ale, and overall an excellent experience (paired with awesome sauces and a fantastic view!).

Ok my husband and I had heard good things about The Library. We sat down and our server proceeded to tell us over 1/2 the beers they brew were out. We both ordered a beer and dinner. Our Caesar salad had too much dressing. We shared a pizza and that was pretty good. My husband then asked about other beers. Our server said she didn’t know because she doesn’t know about alcohol. It’s this your job. He order a Budweiser and got a Bud Light.
