    Our dinner was absolutely fantastic. The escargot did not disappoint and then the Caesar Salad that was made at the table was just so good. The special was a halibut dish that needed a little more sauce which was made and and brought to the table immediately! I ended my meal with a Brandy Alexander that was perfect. You just don’t get this kind of food or service anywhere - The Library is very special!!

    Excellent food and top notch service. Three of us dined. Two had the French onion soup. It was terrific, as usual. Just the right sized portion for an appetizer. One of us had the tuna entree. It was fresh and delicious. One had the ribeye. It was perfectly cooked, tender and delicious. One had the grouper with lobster risotto. It was fantastic. The fish was perfect. Light, flaky and the proper temperature. The meals were very satisfying so dessert was skipped. Our server was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming (we are repeat customers and are greeted as such with warmth and authentic kindness). I enjoyed my predinner Blood and Bourbon cocktail. A fresh, inventive take on an Old Fashioned.

    We celebrated a birthday here and everything was perfect, from the nice valets to the hosts and Rachel, our waitress. She was very helpful with recommendations as this was our first time here. The petite sirloin was cooked to perfection and the stone crabs were excellent. I highly recommend if you are looking for a nice restaurant while you're in Myrtle Beach.
