    Best steak in town. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful prime rib and filet together to bring in the New Year. We have lived in Sarasota for 5 years, and finally discovered the best! We would recommend the lobster bisque as well. Great service and a wonderful staff. We will definitely be bringing our fiends here.

    We had a delicious Christmas day dinner. I chose the restaurant over many others because they had enough variety to accommodate my vegetarian wife, and my elderly in-laws visiting from Germany. My wife loved the cauliflower steak, and my in-laws and I thought the 24 hour slow cooked short ribs were excellent. Most restaurants have nothing for vegetarians and it's so difficult to find both meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. They did a great job at Libby's with both.

    Second visit, this time for the set menu on Christmas Day. A wide selection was available, including a halibut special. The lobster bisque was excellent, as was the duck a l’orange. The latter was better than the usual dish, since the sauce was served on the side, leaving the skin crispy, but the inside tender and moist. The halibut was also very good. In both cases, the portion size was very generous. Overall, an excellent experience and great value.

    Our table ordered ribeyes, sea bass, and a filet. They were all prepared exactly as ordered, and delicious! But it’s really the service that makes this place special. The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about their entire menu including wines. Sit at a booth and enjoy your evening!
