Library II

Frozen/cold mozzarella, overspiced crab bisque and muddled cocktails. We were visiting nearby family and decided to stop by as Library II intrigued us (two kids, two adults) as we like to explore new places.

Our children's fried mozzarella triangles were cold/crunchy inside - definitely not safe to eat. They were remade properly, but unfortunately, there were other issues: My Wife's crab bisque (they were out of lobster bisque) was spicy enough that she was unable to finish (and she's quite food- adventurous) and both of the adults agreed my key lime martini was underwhelming (muddled and kind of sloppy mixing).

The atmosphere was quite nice and filled with book-packed shelves (we love libraries) but this does not overcome the poor food and below average service, especially for the higher priced menu.

I visited this restaurant using a gift card, and unfortunately, I would not choose to spend my own money dining here.
Lets start with Customer service, which was below expectations throughout the experience. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff was not welcoming—no smile or friendly greeting, just a blunt “Hello, do you have a reservation?” It didn’t set a positive tone.
Our waiter was barely present during the meal. When we did see her, she didn’t seem very friendly and appeared irritated. The same attitude was noticeable from the chef when ordering the meat, which made the interaction uncomfortable rather than enjoyable.
Worst of all, we were seated next to the salad and bread station. We witnessed another guest cutting bread, dropping half of it, and then placing it back on the cutting board for others to use. I immediately informed a staff member, but no one removed the bread. This was extremely concerning from a hygiene and food safety standpoint.
As for the food, the salad bar was just okay. The stuffed cod was bland, while the salmon was very good. Unfortunately, the steak was not cooked medium rare as ordered. Overall, the food did not justify the price. We’ve honestly had much better meals at much cheaper establishments.
Overall, the combination of poor service, food safety concerns, and inconsistent food quality made this a disappointing experience.

We both went to library 2 for a nice fancy restaurant thinking we will get a 5 start experience. How ever the staff and waitress we had were amazing and very nice the scenery was very pretty. But the biggest problem is I paid over $60 for a flaming yawn steak 🥩 but the steak was very bland with no seasoning at all and tasted very dry, for a rare steak. Very disappointed in the food hear.

Steaks were significantly undercooked and tough, we ordered medium. The lobster bisque was cold, salad bar was decent. Showed the server the steaks, who apologized but didn't seem to care or rectify. Service overall was lackluster.

Atmosphere was nice.
