Food is always delicious and prepared well. Wait staff is courteous and attentive but not overly so. They always ask about food allergies which is so nice since many dishes may have something in them that only the chef knows about. Ambiance is very pleasant. Nice place to celebrate special occasions or host clients.

Appetizers- Shrimp and the crab stuffed peppers were amazingly good! Also, branzino and short ribs were delicious as well. We didnt like the special drink, but besides that the food was great. Service was on point as well. The only thing we dont like about Libertad is you come away smelling like the you were in the kitchen, because in a way you are. Restaurant needs to find a way to keep the smoke from the kitchen out of the restaurant. Dinner was also very pricey. But we will definitely go back
