We had a positive experience for brunch. We had one drink, the deviled eggs, and pancakes, fruit...with tip $75. It was a nice treat since we cut back on eating out. Everything was tasty. Server was great. Hostess was awkward. They had a guy playing music outside. Lots of seating.
We visited The Library for lunch on 12/30, drawn in by its presentation and inspiration from the George Peabody Library, but unfortunately, it felt like a bit of a catfish. The interior is still cute but far more open and spacious than the intimate vibe the imagery suggested. Despite having a reservation and arriving on time, we waited 5–10 minutes to be seated, as it seemed like they were running on a skeleton crew. Our server was kind and clearly doing his best and while he managed the workload admirably, we didn’t see much of him, and there was little explanation or recommendation of dishes. As for the food: Chai Latte: Tasted more like milk than chai. Roasted Yellow Tomato Soup: Surprisingly spicy and probably the best part of the meal. Warm Burrata: Disappointing. The arugula pesto was strong but lost in the cheese, and the tomato confit lacked sweetness and depth. BLT: Nothing special. The bread felt like sandwich bread, and the over-well egg tasted rubbery. Red Gem Caesar with Salmon: The salmon portion was small and didn’t taste fresh. The confit tomatoes lacked flavor, and while the cured egg yolk was a nice touch, the dish was underwhelming overall. Truffle Fries: Not worth it. We ordered them not knowing the BLT already came with fries (a miscommunication from our server). They lacked truffle flavor, tasting more like lightly seasoned fries. Overall, the experience fell far below expectations, given the imagery, menu descriptions, and price point. While the service staff did their best under the circumstances, the food and overall ambiance were a letdown.
Perfection! The dishes were divine, lots of flavor and were expertly presented. We will be stopping here every time we are in town! Cocktails and mocktails had depth and were delicious. Filet was cooked perfectly. Salmon and gnocchi dish was perfect. Vodka rigatoni was creamy and they had no problem subbing chicken for the shrimp. The beet salad was so fresh and tasty. The bread plate is an absolute must! The book lined walls and decor set the tone for a wonderful evening. The incredibly attentive staff brought it home! This place also has a good looking coffee and pastry bar. Read about the history of the library, very interesting.
Stopped in on a business lunch while in St Pete. I wanted a burger but then, switched to a basic breakfast. It sounded good and it was even better than i imagined. Scrambled eggs were perfect, the fruit was super greasy and oh, that toast! I paired it with a fresh brewed iced tea. Server was excellent, friendly and very attentive. Parking was free in a dedicated lot behind the restaurant. Definitely coming back soon!
Sat at the bar for brunch since we didn't have reservations. Service was great! Drinks were great - had an aperol spritz and a mocktail. I wouldn't say it resembled anything like the George Peabody library but it was very nice inside. Ordered the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with fries. I didn't think this would go wrong but somehow the chicken was very dry/overcooked. Thank goodness for the aoli, I asked for extra. The second dish ordered was the eggs Benedict. The beef cheeks tasted like under seasoned cheap stew meat and the poached eggs were undercooked (the whites were visibility raw in some spots) - biscuit was ok and the fried capers were nice. The presentation was good on both dishes. We had to go on with our day so we didn't send it back or bother asking for a refund. Honestly I would try this place again for dinner. Nice restaurant really close to where I live, I want to love it.
