We had dinner at Libby’s Sarasota and the food was fantastic! We shared the chicken Milanese and each plate was a full meal in other restaurants. The food came very quickly. We had a great experience and we’ll be back!

Food was okay, service was almost too fast - we hadn't even looked at the menus when the waitress wanted to take our orders and we were there 10 minutes after opening. It was crowded on the patio, where we decided to sit and even outside it was way too noisy. Inside was even noisier. For that reason alone we wouldn't come back. The other reason we wouldn't go back is the lack of gluten free anywhere on the menu.

The food and service were great. The noise level was very high. The tables are a little close making it difficult to get around.

We were very disappointed this time. We have been to Libby’s several times so we decided to go there to meet some friends that are visiting from PA. It was so noisy (we sat outside) we had to shout to talk. In addition, my husband ordered a large salad and a steak dinner. They brought the salad and the steak out at the same time. There wasn’t even room on the table. He sent the steak back-they brought it back later-over cooked and barely warm.
