    We were seated promptly. It was uncomfortably cold so had to wear jacket entire meal. It was quite loud and difficult to converse. Service was prompt and courteous. Very tasty steak and wedge salad. Portions were large. Orange chicken was very good as was strawberry shortcake. Beer and wine were tasty. Nice local restaurant.

    It is a good place. A consistent B+. Not amazing, but solid and predictable. Also the menu has a lot of diverse options from burgers to fish and chicken milanese which makes it a good option for a family. Service is slow especially on a busy Friday night.

    We love the ambience at Libby’s, especially dining outside. Indoor noise level can be loud so consider that when making reservations. Other than that the food is very good, service is excellent and atmosphere fun. During the cooler nights they have heat lamps. My favorite appetizer is the Brussels! Delicious!! I love the kale salad with salmon. My husband misses the meatball sandwich. Definitely a keeper when dining out!!

    Always enjoy our visits to Libby’s. Conversation can be a challenge at times due to the noise level and or acoustic design of the facility. We will return and just wanted to pass on appropriate feedback.

    Our meal was outstanding! The appetizer rock shrimp and crab lollipops was off the charts! The Santa Fe salad and Orange Chicken as entrees were excellent. Our server, Cici, was extremely attentive, patient and friendly. She did a wonderful job. Zachary, the manager, came around to our table to ask whether we were enjoying our meal, whether there was anything he could do for us and just overall very friendly and helpful. Libbys is a lovely restaurant.
