You can tell lots of thought and passion went into making these unique cocktails (Caesar deluxe, mood ring, thyme warp, and Cookie Monster). The house made vodka, which was just finished yesterday, was smooth and not overbearing. The hot artichoke and spinach dip served with pieces of baguette were well flavoured and delicious. Sounds like the owners have a great vision for the future of this establishment and we can't wait to go back and support this local business again.

Amazing customer service! We walked in as we got drawn by the building, after we walked in we…read morewanted to stay for dinner! The Library Lounge has a very old English Gentlemen Club look and feel with bookshelves on the walls ( hence Library ). I say amazing customer service is that the restaurant staffs are very accommodating and also courteous, while we were waiting for our table, ( they had a very very busy Wednesday night ), even the Bar Tender came to chat with just keep us happy. We ordered: To start : Beef Barley Soup / Borscht both were done well but it took about 45 mins. before our soup appeared, our server did communicate to the kitchen but still our soups were not ready until later! I do not blame the server at all, but I saw a few tables before us got their soups or salads and they all came after us. Oh well, sometimes the kitchen staffs are hard to deal with. Steak & Prawns - Cooked to perfection, the meat is slightly on the lean side for my taste, but still very flavourful. Seafood Pasta - Tomato based sauce filled with Halibut, Salmon, Mussels etc. Creamy and full of fresh tomatoes, the pasta can be a tad more al dente and will be perfect! Nice ambience, with live music, this is a great spot to come enjoy a relaxing evening with good food and wine, and of course the very friendly staffs and even fellow dinners!!

We were brought the wrong drinks at first, then they were out of the wine I had ordered. This is not at fault of the staff, I was offered a different wine on the menu, more expensive and was charged the higher price; they should have honored the original price of the wine I initially ordered. The vibe is unique and different, something I always appreciate. Try the burgers, my husband said it's the best he has ever had.

We also tried their food, the bao buns, and the fries were exactly how I prefer my bar food--delicious!

We are local Nesonites, who are seniors and have lived here for twenty plus years. We went for the…read moreValentines dinner. It was a four course dinner. The atmosphere in the room was nice, although slightly loud. I started by ordering a bottle of wine, which was great. The menu had four choices for the starter, I choice the shrimp cocktail with bang-bang sauce. It was tasty. The next course was a shared charcuterie board. It was fun to share the food. At some point a server came to either drop something off or pick something up, but without asking started to empty the wine into our glasses. This is bad etiquette for a server to touch anything on the table without asking. The third course was the main, I opted to upgrade the steak to a filet and add peppercorn sauce. When the main came out I tried the steak and it was way to salty, and I like salt. So, decision time, do I say something and disrupt our whole experience or suck it up. I decided to suck it up for the sake of the evening. My partners food was mostly fine. She had the lamb shank. The veg for both meals was the same. Some oven roasted root veg plus some sqash and zucchini. The root veg was raw, so we did say something about that. The waitress was very helpful and brought out more veg ten mins after we were finished the main. The same problem persisted, though, uncooked root veg. We shared a tarmisu for dessert. The experience was disappointing because we held this restaurant in a high regard. There reputation will be downgraded, in my eyes, to cause me to think twice befor recommending Louie's Steakhouse for food.
