    Dining room

    This restaurant was absolutely divine in the decoration and the ambiance. The waiter gave us the choice of which dining area to sit in, and the books and lighting made the decision difficult. The French onion soup was delicious, as was the shrimp pasta. The waiter gave great recommendations for food, and offered a few flexible swaps for diet restrictions within the group. The food came out quickly and had great portions for the price. The drink menu was adorable and sounded delicious! For a small town restaurant, The Old Library Restaurant was memorable and classy.

    Once again another amazing meal. I brought my parents from Arizona tonight. My dad is a prime rib and steak expert. He was absolutely blown away with this meal. The food was amazing as always and the drinks were wonderful. We had carrot cake and peanut butter pie for dessert. That was fantastic. This place only serves the best. My parents loved the decor and the library feel. They are making this a must every year they are out. Our waitress Corrie was amazing and fun which made our evening even better. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    The food and service were amazing! The lobster I had with my dinner was hot! Usually seafood isn't. Filet was tender like butter. Bravo

    Delicious food and incredible ambiance that blew me away! Amazing cocktails, fast and friendly service, LIVE music, delicious calamari, yummy sea bass, delectable seafood linguine, luscious tiramisu and crème brûlée (coffee flavor and crispy top, respectively!). Would 100% go back!

    My husband and I went here for an unexpected romantic dinner tonight (Friday). However, it did not start out as a tete a tete, as some friends were supposed to join us, but I had the night wrong (I must be getting senile), so we turned it into our "date night." Apparently, the dinner with friends is tomorrow night. It was the perfect place for a romantic night out. We arrived at six thirty pm but found that we did not have a reservation (likely because we arrived on the wrong night!). The woman greeting guests was gracious and friendly. Unlike many restaurant greeters who treat you like you have demanded their first born for a human sacrifice when you show up at prime time on a Friday and desire dining accomodation without a reservation, she nicely said, "hey, no problem. Let me see what we can do." She located a table for four on the mezzanine tucked away in the corner. We were seated and promptly given water by a table busser, and asked if we had other guests joining us, due to the presence of additional menus and place settings on the table. It did take about 10 minutes to have a server arrive, Nick, but he was also extremely pleasant and accomodating. The restaurant was busy, but not noisy. The restaurant facility is a beautiful space with lots of seating in very nicely appointed rooms. Nick quickly brought back my husband's drink choice of an Italian Mule (delicious and refreshing with limoncello added to a Moscow Mule) and a bottle of the Firesteed Pinot Noir for me (after all I did plan to share it with the table...lol!). When by 7:20 pm our guests had not arrived, I checked with them only to find out we were going to be alone for the evening as our dinner reservations were for Saturday, not Friday! As noted earler, we decided to stay, and enjoy dinner together. The menu was expansive with many attractive choices. We started with the Poutine Fries. They were quite good, but be sure to read the menu description, as the cheese is not the traditional cheese curd, but shredded cheddar. It is a healthy portion, so we only ate half to save our appetites and boxed the remainder. I also ordered a ceasar salad and my husband ordered the baked potato soup. The ceasar was fabulous. It had thin slices of sundried tomatoes and also artichokes in it. The tomatoes added visual appeal to the dish which was beautifully served on a tilted deep salad bowl perched on a plate. The ceasar dressing was perfect in flavor and application--not drowing in it yet not sparing--just right. My husband's soup was thick, warm and creamy. Yum. For our entrees, I was torn between a number of possibilities, including Chicken Marsala, a Smoked Mac and Cheese with Blackened Chicken, a Fish Fry, Wild Salmon on a cedar plank or the Seafood Pappardelle. Surprisingly, after hearing the choices I was considering, Nick instead recommended one of the nightly specials, a Seafood Alfredo, which he described as a three cheese alfredo sauce, topped with bay scallops, shrimp and lobster, all served over homemade pasta. In a way, it was like a combination of some of the dishes I had been contemplating. I readily agreed--it sounded great! My husband ordered the Chicken Wellington. The entrees arrived and were beautifully plated. I was thrilled with Nick's suggestion. The alfrefo sauce was simply scrumptious. The bay scallops were tiny but super sweet and tender. The lobster was shredded, which was a bit disappointing, as I expected to see recognizable chunks of lobster meat. There were four good sized shrimp that had excellent flavor and were not chewy. In all, it was just great. My only criticism is that as a fine dining restaurant, they really need to invest in one or more grinders for fresh black pepper. I love fresh ground black pepper, but was told there was no fresh ground black pepper option. I was brought fresh crushed red pepper flakes when I asked for fresh ground pepper. My husband liked the Chicken Wellington. He said it was not what he exactly expected, as when the description read "chicken cutlet," he thought "breaded chicken." Upon reflection, he said that was totally on him, as who would wrap a breaded cutlet in a puff pastry, doubling the carbs? Pretty silly thought in hindsight, he said. He also did not understand that the asparagus was inside the puff pastry, as he expected it to be served on a bed of asparagus. He also did not know that duxelles are mushrooms. Umm ..... again totally on him. After all, Google exists for a reason. Or, god forbid he ask the human food google sitting right next to him? But ultimately, he said it was good. We ordered one Tiramisu for dessert to share. Also delicious and a perfect portion for two. We demolished it. In all, I really enjoyed our experience and I am thrilled we will be going there again tomorrow night (Saturday--the correct night) with our friends..... I will be bringing my own small fresh black pepper grinder, however!

    We decided to try this spot out for our 20th Anniversary, this past Wednesday. The food, service and ambiance were wonderful. My wife and I split an order of Clams Casino and the Brie appetizer. Both were incredibly delicious. I also had a Caesar salad that was fresh and tasty. My bride was originally going to have the Filet with Lobster served Louis style but once she saw the Seafood Pappardelle, she was hooked. I opted for the NY Strip that was cooked exactly to my liking. The potatoes served with the steak were roasted to perfection and had a crispy topping of Parmesan cheese. The steak was tender and delicious! My wife's Seafood Pappardelle was also delicious with Shrimp, Lobster and Crab meat in a delightful brandy cream sauce. I was lucky enough to sample it and it was delicious! The Blood Orange Negroni I had was excellent as was our two glasses of champagne. We did order a dessert which the manager was kind enough to comp along with the champagne because it was our 20th Anniversary. The service was impeccable and we certainly will be returning!

    Does the restaurant have a dress code? And if so what is the dress code?

    We were there in the winter, so I cannot opine on whether shorts are allowed, but people were wearing post game team sweatshirts and jackets along with jeans. So I'd say it is very casual and flexible
