The Library Restaurant is an elegant steakhouse located in one of Portsmouth's most striking buildings, the city’s former public library. With golden lions at the entrance and patriotic bunting adorning the façade, this historic gem is hard to miss. Inside, the space retains the feel of a grand reading room while offering a fine dining menu that includes prime steaks, seafood, and classic cocktails served with polish and charm. The steak is a standout choice, particularly when ordered medium rare Pittsburgh style, and the cheesecake is a must-try. The Valpolicella red wine from Italy is an excellent option that is affordable. The service is top-notch, with attentive and kind staff like Christian, who make guests feel welcomed and appreciated. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply in the mood for a memorable meal, The Library Restaurant is a unique dining spot that promises a delightful experience.
