Case after case of donuts done right -- peach cake donuts, glazed honey buns, long johns in vanilla, chocolate, and caramel, plus apple and peach fritters that look like they were dropped in the fryer an hour ago. The muffin case is just as deep: lemon poppyseed, blueberry, raisin bran, streusel-topped, all in tall paper wraps. Past the bakery it turns into a proper Amish country market. Shelves of fresh wheat bread and dinner rolls, jars of their own apple butter, bulk candy by the pound in wicker baskets -- Mary Janes, butterscotch disks, Tootsie Rolls, jaw breakers -- and a Florida salt water taffy section for the tourists. The coffee wall has bulk bins and bagged roasts from Fresh Cup of Hope and local Sarasota Coffee & Tea. Clean, well-stocked, and generously staffed. Come hungry and bring a bag.

Our server Casey was one of the best in the biz - he made the experience so great! We felt like we were besties with him. We shared the shrimp as an appetizer and ate it alarmingly fast. Then for entrees, my darling got the Chicken Milanese (Casey gave the hot tip to do mashed potatoes as a side and that was a crucial and worthwhile decision) and I got two apps as my entree, the Brussels sprouts and the Tuna tataki. The tuna is something I will be thinking about for years to come. We polished it all off by sharing a deliiiiightful key lime pie, a 10/10 choice. All the employees at Libby's are top tier and so kind, and we couldn't stop talking about our dinner here for the rest of our time in Sarasota. Can't wait to come back :)

It is in a very busy shopping center but you can find parking all around. When you enter inside the establishment you are greeted immediately by staff and it was certainly bustling. They are very patient when you are deciding on what you want and even explained the flavors for each entree. It was very easy to order. Lots of seating inside and outside and once we found a seat it was quite clean. The food itself was portioned perfectly and the flavors were very prominent. I ordered sweet potato noodles, rice, bbq chicken and sweet potatoes and topped it with green sauce. Everything was delicious that I almost licked my plate clean. I don't live in the area but next time I come to visit my mother in law I'll be sure to come by again.

The tickets were $15.50pp for an evening film, so higher than a standard theater, but not by much. Where they really make their money is the concessions. My husband and I decided to have dinner there, and he ordered the cheesesteak with truffle fries and a Sprite, and I ordered the sliders with regular fries and a root beer. The facility automatically adds a 19% gratuity charge to the bill, and our total came to $71.00. Even I was slightly shocked at the price, since we were at a movie theater The service and servers were great. The sodas do have free refills, but unlike other boujee theaters, there isn't a call button to use at this one. Overall, it was a fun evening. We spent $100 for a date night, and I suppose that isn't too unusual anymore. The theater and bathrooms were clean, all employees seemed kind and we enjoyed the movie.

Had a chicken BLT Bun was hard as a rock, chicken was rubbery and un edible because they used a microwave to heat up food. My husband ordered a steak frites $42.99. Meat was terrible . Can't say all the food was all bad, popcorn, Fries and cake was good, and so was the water & beer & Margarita. The place is falling apart. The help had no idea what they are doing , giving people the wrong food and drinks. Placing them on your tray and then taking them back to give to the correct customer. Cost was approximately $160 per couple, waste of money. This place used to be an awesome experience a few years back, but now it's falling apart and the incompetence is unbelievable. If you don't mind mold and mediocre food this place is for you. At this point I will go out to dinner somewhere else like Season 52 and then go to different movie theatre afterward. I used to love this place. Sad this place went down hill. I have never been so disappointed :-( If they ever decide to clean it up and get better food I might go back.
