The gentleman server was delightful. He explained the menu and helped with our selections. The food was delicious. The restaurant space is very cozy. read more

Very pleasant surprise on the quality of the drinks and food over here. Mario was very hospitable and attentive. He can also make a mean martini! I tried the chicken carciofo (artichoke) and it was crispy and delicious. Very underrated to grab a tasty bite that looks nice too. read more

The Library - Dirty Grey Goose martini - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

So disappointing. This place has really gone downhill. Two years ago, we ate here and it was incredible. Now the food was not good. The salad was drenched in dressing with way too much fruit and not enough lettuce. The queso was weird, almost like a white gravy. read more

Seriously people come here FOR FUN?! Even if I stayed there at the Residence Inn I wouldn't eat there. Yelp is usually correct on the average stars, but they are WAY off with this one. The place isn't dark, it's just sad. It's old, outdated, and just depressing. The bartender is your waiter and he was fine and service was fine. The food was just bland and the chips, that were clearly store bought, were stale. You'd be better off going to Chick Fil A. read more

Had a nice experience. Good food. Was quiet (later in the evening). Friendly staff. I will go back when I travel to/through again.

A quaint little restaurant/Bar inside the Marriott residence Inn. English early American decor. The food is good, as well as the service. Come in relax don't rush. The bartender is also your waiter, nice guy very polite, had a great experience here. read more

The Library - 12 oz sirloin, garlic mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and the extra skewer of shrimp. - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Excellent staff, waiters and bartenders. Food was surprisingly top notch (Caesar salad was exemplary)

The food was amazing, I had the chicken fried chicken. The service and ambiance was great good experience!!

This restaurant is a wonderful enigma. It is inside the residence inn, a place where you'd never look. The chef makes amazing food. You simply must go here. We tried the blue crab stuffed shrimp and the Chef's chicken cariofo. Both were very rich and satisfying. Something you would find at any fine dining establishment. Service by Amber was top notch. All this in a tiny but tasteful cozy restaurant. Truly a hidden gem. We will become regulars to try the entire menu ... and then start over again. read more

The Library - Chef Fermin's Chicken Cariofo - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

The Library had been recommended to me and the reviews looked great so it was the pick for our get together with long time friends. I was a little worried, because there were 8 of us and when I called they would not take a reservation. The employee I spoke to told me I wouldn't have a problem getting a table on the Friday after Christmas at 6. So when I got there and saw how small the space is I was surprised, but also she wasn't wrong, we pushed two tables together and we had enough for 8. They had a consistent flow of customers, but it never got overly crowded. It is a pretty basic bar set up, nothing fancy. The bartender/waitress was very good. Even when she made a mistake on one of the guy's drinks, she quickly fixed it. And...she was THE only bartender/waitress all night! Almost four of us girls got the Chef Fermin's Chicken Carciofo. It is delicious! We all loved it. I love artichoke hearts and spinach so I thought it was the perfect dish. My husband said his sliders were overcooked, so he did not love his meal as much. They have a nice cocktail selection. There was only a small wine selection. The prices are very reasonable. I had been a little skeptical when I found out it was a bar/restaurant in a hotel, but it's a nice place for dinner and a drink. The bathrooms are in the hotel hallway. The hotel desk agent happily took our picture in front of their Christmas Tree. Overall it was a good time. I didn't get any photos of the meal, though. read more

Small location but BIG Flavor. Very tiny Bar/Lounge inside the residence inn but the Food was superb. The Five Pepper Chicken was excellent, flavorful and very filling. The Crab stuffed shrimp was amazing and were gone before i could snap a picture. Sliders i will say came out a little dry but nonetheless still very good. The BBQ wings were great too. Staff was courteous and very friendly. A wonderful location to get a drink and bite to eat, would highly recommend. read more

I am basing this strictly on atmosphere, i did not sit down nor eat anything. I looked inside and came to the conclusion the name should be changed from the Library to the Morgue. It was so dark and quiet it might be great for a romantic date but other than that it's not what I need in a hotel bar. However the Hilton across the street has an awesome bar with a patio and firepit and a much livelier atmosphere. I've gone there every night of my stay. read more

Convenient and has great food. Priced not to tragic for a hotel restaurant. Good service. read more

I had the mango chicken salad which was GREAT. The servers were good after I brought to their attention that I was seated and needed a menu Laid back bar/restaurant atmosphere was pleasant with TV's showing basketball and the dog show Initially I could not find the place as I missed the point that it was in the hotel Well worth getting lost for read more

crappy location in a mid range hotel, the shrimp appetizer is awesome! great sauce, the chips are great but queso needs work kinda bland with good tomatillo salsa. needs to be in its own location but food is good. Steak cooked good but a bit tough, chicken was amazing. Quite possibly the best chicken ive ever had. 4 out of 5 just because of location and atmosphere, food is a 5....except queso is a 2. read more

The food here should not be this good for a hotel in a bass pro parking lot. I got the Chefs chicken and it was immaculate I ate every bite. The bar has big pours too! read more

The Library - Chef Fermin's Chicken Cariofo - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

I came here because I used to work at a Hotel in grapevine. The guests always said this place is so cool. Turns out it is a restaurant in another hotel, which I was totally unaware of. The restaurant i thought would have books or Something, which I didn't see. The bartender was our waiter. He was kind of slow. He only had 3 tables but it took him forever to come take our order. I ordered a salad, which was good, but it took like minutes to come out. There is also no Restaurant bathroom, only a hotel lobby restroom for you to use. They did however make Decent Appletini's which were great! read more

Just a quaint hotel restaurant. Nothing really special, in my humble opinion. Wasn't bad but wasn't worth going out of the way, either

This is definitely something you would not stumble upon. It's in the Residence Inn Hotel and entrance is either via hotel Lobby or a door on the front side of Hotel Went for lunch and it was very quiet and we had a lovely time. They are open daily at 11am and even though no one was there (we went at 1pm on Thursday) they promptly got a server to help us. They have a HH and I think it starts at 3 but the glass of wine we had was only 7.00 and was tasty. The fried and onion rings that came with our sandwiches where're great! Maybe they where flash fried or something crispy outside and soft inside This is a nice almost secret place and I plan to go back for HH the food was great and service too Our wine rang up at 12 a glass and when we brought to his attention he promptly corrected read more

I've come here back in June when my friend was staying at the Residence Inn(I love the Resistance Inn!)and she and I went downstairs to eat at this restaurant. This lovely restaurant is located inside the Residence Inn. It was so hot and we didn't feel like going too far to go eat, so we decided to eat here. It's a very cute restaurant/bar. I ordered grilled salmon and my friend ordered fish tacos. My salmon came with pasta and vegetables and it was surprisingly delicious and I thought that the presentation of my meal was extremely appealing and fancy looking. My friend's meal looked amazing as well. The server/bartender was friendly and prompt. I would definitely love to come back again. read more

Best Chicken Ever!!! It is a small restaurant, but the Chef knows what he's doing. The service is also fantastic!!!

Excellent food! The Chef Fermin chicken Carciofo was amazing. The best chicken dish ever. Let's not forget Javier!! I have been here a few times and he always meets you with a smile and remembers your drink of choice. I highly recommend this restaurant and bar!! read more

Was staying at the Embassy Suites, opted to eat at the Library after reading the reviews. Quick walk and so worth it. Chef Firmans chicken was really good. Bartender was super nice as well. Will go back again. read more

I'm staying in the area for work and I have been reading the reviews of this restaurant. Decided to try it this evening and, boy, I was not disappointed! The bar was full of a group from the hotel, but I sat in a separate dining area and my waitress was amazing. Leslie rocks! Even better than that, the food was absolutely delicious! read more

The Library - Chicken Carcifo - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

OMG! Went here based off from the reviews. Reviews were totally wrong! When I placed the order was told 15 mins for the order to be ready. Walked in about 12 mins so 3 mins before the due time. The bar tender asked what my order was, then answered her own question stating the chicken fried stake with 3 other items. She informed me it would be another 10 to 15 mins. Hum so 30 mins from ordered placed not 15. Then when my I received my order it was missing the chicken fried steak. Good thing I checked it when I received it. I informed the bar tender and she said I never ordered it. I asked her to check the order. She never said anything just walked away and proceeded to the kitchen. A minute later she came back and said it would be about 10 mins or so for the chicken fried steak. Got back to the hotel and now here's the food review. Hum normally Yelp reviews are spot on but this was was a total miss! 100% a total miss! The food was so so. Honestly threw most of it away. The flat bread tasted like frozen yuck! The chicken fried steak was just ok nothing to rave about nor would we order it again. The salad was good but the cheesecake was the best thing we ordered. This the one star. read more

Diligent, tasty and well-priced! The location is small however it's inside the Residence Inn and beyond good for the location and surprisingly good in every other way. The menu is done more than well! read more

IT IS INSIDE THE RESIDENCE INN! Got lost twice (ya I'm dumb) trying to find this place. But total hidden jewel. The ribeye was perfectly charred, the sides were perfect and this little bar/restaurant has INCREDIBLE homemade cheesecake! Most of all, ignore the BS in other reviews about the bartender/server. This dude straight HUSTLES! The bar couldn't sit anyone else, he was alone but he remained upbeat, personable and Johnny-on-the-spot. If you're a local looking for something new or a business traveler looking to maximize your per diem and you're in Grapevine, come to "The Library" Ignore the hypercritical D-bags in the earlier reviews. read more

Great place for relaxing and chatting with friends. Casual vibe. Would recommend if you're looking for just drinks.

Came here with a friend for dinner and drinks. The food was good, I ordered the chicken parm with a side salad. I also got an apple martini which was good. They gave a large portion of food at a reasonable cost. As for the ambiance it was very quite, there was one other table besides for our own. They could use a little more decor and it was kinda dark in there. But our waiter was nice and did a nice job at making sure we were taken care of. read more

The Library - Amanda's Chicken Parmagiano - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Service was friendly. Food was meh. Nothing special. Would not go again. Cocktail was decent.

Our server Calli was fantastic! She was attentive and made suggestions all the while being kind and fun. she refilled our drinks as needed and made sure we were completely taken care of... she is a gem! The food was incredible. I ordered the salmon and it was seasoned and cooked perfectly! I substituted the pasta for mashed potato's and that was a fabulous suggestion. Everyone around me seemed equally pleased with their experience! The music was so fun, loved the 80's playing in the background. It was obvious there are regulars that enjoy the atmosphere. Well Done! read more

The Library - Dinner - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

My wife came in here to eat after easing the reviews. I had the 5 pepper chicken and she had the Parmesan crusted chicken with spinach/capers/artichoke. Both were amazing from the presentation to the flavor. It's inside the residence inn but don't let "hotel restaurant stigma" stop you from trying this place out. You won't be disappointed! read more

What a nice surprise! I lived in Grapevine for years and never knew about this little gem until I came back to visit and stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott. Tucked away in the hotels lobby, The Library offers a warm, cozy atmosphere, top shelf cocktails and a chef driven menu. The service is friendly, professional and reminiscent of a top quality steakhouse. Highly recommended. read more

Get the chicken! This is a great hidden gem that you might miss if you weren't staying at the hotel it's in. One of the best chicken dishes I've had. Great bar and relaxing space. Food is great but healthy. Not a typical quick fry type of place. read more

Nice little restaurant in the Residence Inn. The Mini Sliders were good and the fries were very good, nice and crispy with a good flavor. The server recommended the Chef Fermin's Chicken Cariofo, I am so glad she did it was amazing. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the mashed potatoes were fluffy and buttery. read more

As a frequent traveler, finding quality places is a key. This is one of those places. Great service, ambiance and quality food and beverage are what you will find here. I like that its a hotel bar and not overcrowded destination. Savor and enjoy. read more

We order seafood stew and completely mind blown. Yeah, I am from Japan and my company is from Boston. So shut up and come taste it!

This is the bar of a Marriott hotel and all the things that might imply are true. I don't know where y'all are going, but the pizza comes in takeout boxes and small, well behaved children clutch their Dino nuggets. read more
