    The Library Bar never lets me down. Great food and drinks. The Poseidon cocktail using a milk clarification process is one of the tastiest cocktails I have ever had. We always meet interesting people and never want to leave once we get there. So cozy at this time of year.

    Love the library bar! Perfect setting for a relaxed bday celebration. On the ball host/hostess. Table Service could have been a bit sharper. No spoon with coffee. No milk. No cheese offered for pasta dish. No salt/pepper. Staff did bring the items when requested but it was busy and it did take a bit. Excellent food and cocktails. Lively atmosphere. Late afternoon the noise level was very high. A good time was had by all!

    The food and drink were fantastic. Unfortunately, the service was abysmal. Several mistakes by the server that led to a poor dining experience.

    We celebrated my daughters’ 30th birthday today. The hostess was lovely. I asked to be seated opposite the bar thinking I would be served by the fabulous Terry but that spot was covered by Kimberley. I had my usual mushroom melt, Karen had Bay Street. Kimberley was very attentive and was almost as good as Terry, lol They were both wonderful! library bar wouldn’t be the same sans Terry!!
