   My first time at The Library--we went at 4 PM and it was beautiful and quiet, By the time we left, it had filled up pretty well for a Tuesday and was of course noisier but not unbearably so. Our waitress was lovely, well informed and very attentive. We both noted that she seemed to enjoy her job--a rarity these days. Food was hot, attractive and plentiful. I will certainly go to The Library again.

   Our initial seating location was amid 2 large group parties, which was deafening. Once we asked to be moved the new location was open and mellow allowing for nice conversation. Food was great! Server was also really good and conscientious of the guests.

   This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time! The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive, the building is unique and beautiful. It is a bit noisy, but I like that, I think it gives a restaurant life. The maple chicken was amazing. My husband had shrimp and grits and he agreed it was the best meal he’d had in a while. The portions were good sized and we felt the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend the Library and I know if I ever find myself in Wallingford, ct again, this is definitely where I’ll eat!

   Always great food, service and atmosphere! It was busy for a random Thursday but not too busy and added a nice unexpected energy for a weeknight.

   Had reservation, no waiting. Amazing waitress. Food was so good. My husband loved his steak. Drinks were on point. Zero complaints, we will definitely be back.

   Food was good quality. Noise level was not good; and we booked an early seating in hopes of beating the dinner crowd.

    Delicious food and butter. Loved that the pasta was locally sourced. A perfect date that checked all of the boxes!
