    Libby’s food was excellent along with the waiter. The noise level was absolutely unbearable I will never return. If a person has to scream to have a conversation and ends up with a sore throat all is lost. Hard to believe a restaurant would not consider good acoustics so people can truly enjoy what they came for. Will never return.

    This was our first visit to Libby’s and right from the start it was fantastic. The food was delicious and our server, Candace, was such a pleasure! She was warm and friendly and lovely to chat with. She truly made our experience that much better. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Our service was ok, but I received the completely WRONG meal. I ordered a chicken club sandwich. I cut into the sandwich and wondered what I was eating and realized I saw a piece of shrimp/crab? in the patty sandwich. No big deal for me, but my husband is ALLERGIC to shellfish and if he took a bite from this, it would have had serious repercussions. The waiter was a bit taken aback and at first I think he questioned how it possibly could be true? He was very professional when he realized I indeed was served the incorrect meal. He offered me a glass of wine to compensate. Everyone had finished their dinner when mine arrived. It was ok...but as you can imagine disappointing to watch everyone else eat dinner. I was surprised they did not offer to comp my dinner. It was 100% their error. I can honestly say I will think again before going back. BIG mistake with a small apology.

    The food was exceptional- and Steven, our server, was wonderful. He was informative about the menu, helpful in making decisions and wonderfully conversant. He made our evening out even better. This was my husband’s first visit to Libby’s. He is anxious to return.
