  • "We frequent this restaurant regularly and we are never disappointed. Salad bar is fabulous and there is such a variety of entrees to chose from. You don't have to love steak to eat here. Chicken and seafood dishes are excellent."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "The steaks were perfectly cooked! Everyone from our waitress to the food runner to the owner stopping at every table to see how dinner was were extremely friendly...we can't wait to go back"

  • "We frequent the library quite a bit. The Food is always wonderful. You can't go wrong with the salad bar and the filet."

  • "We are long time patrons of the Library II in Marlton. We were the area where Library IV is and decided to try Lib IV figuring it was the same owners. Well, that how they started but have since split into separate owners. But they operate identical to Lib II in every way. The unique way to order your meal, the salad bar, the Shelves of Books.... Amazing and a must for Steak Lovers."

  • "We took a party of 10 for our daughter's 18th birthday. They staff was very attentive, although we were in a sort of sun room type of section of the restaurant and it was rather chilly. The food was wonderful. Our 12 year old ordered shrimp cocktail as his entree and they were nice enough to give him the salad bar as well at no charge. The portions are generous, the price is right on. This was our second visit and we will definitely return."

    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "The food here is great. Wonderful cut of filet for a decent price. Atmosphere is semi-ambient and romantic but can become kinda loud and the layout doesn't leave for much privacy or intimacy. One thing I would fix if I could would be to get some better beers on tap in the vein of craft beers instead of the usual gross and boring domestic mainstream offerings. Props for Guinness on tap but I'm a beer guy and nice places usually focus more on wine so I won't detract for that. Definitely recommend."

  • "Great for steak and seafood. Prime rib was a really nice cut and cooked to perfection. amazing crab stuffed mushrooms. good selection of tap beers. And all of the little details that make the difference between a really nice meal and a mediocre meal. The salad bar has a great variety which includes breads and cheese, and everything is perfectly fresh every time. The ordering style is different than most restaurants, and may seem awkward at first, but it allows you to ensure your food is prepared exactly the way you like it."

  • "We had a 7:30 reservation, so we arrived at 7:15. We were not seated until after 8:00....OK ..I ordered new york strip with a twice baked potato & my date got salmon with crab & a twice baked potato. My steak was tasty but was very fatty & had a long strip of fat on the edge of it & my twice baked potato was made from instant potatoes & was horrible ! The salad bar was not stocked very well & items were empty ! The salmon was bland & the service was spotty. We were left sitting for long periods of time with no waiter in site.....next time I will go back to the Franklinville Inn...never had a bad meal there !"

  • "Everything was great, as usual. The filet was perfect."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Well as usual we enjoyed the meals! But when I made a reservation 30 days in advance I was disappointed that the table I requested wasn't held for us."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The Library has live entertainment on the wknds, and fabulous steak and seafood. The Salad bar is "to die for". Drinks are moderately priced. Overall, it's not a Ruth Chris, but it has more than enough other redeeming qualities to make it superior to the Prime Steak Houses in many ways. The locals, as well as the Outa Town-ers come by to frequent the Library-4. I give it 4 stars only because nothing is better than one really incredible place I went to in Jackson Hole Wyoming. That place lacked everything I mentioned above, but it was truly the best steak in the entire civilized world - so I gave that one a 5 star rating. The Library-4, it's a good place to take your wife or girlfriend (not at the same time though)."

  • "Tom and I met there 2 years ago (WHS Alumni) at the Library so it has a special meaning for us...great food - friends are there...great bartenders.... and waiters & waitresses...love the salad bar. Always greeted with Joyce's pretty smile...love it there!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "always very good-It was valentines day & service great- we where taken right away didn"t have to wait-where not rushed on such a busy night"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The food was OK but not wonderful. I had the Salmon stuffed with crab meat. It had more oil on it than I like. I had the sweet potato baked. Not on the menu. I was glad that they could bake it. But I was disappointed that it had a large dark spot. I did not complain because it was large and I could eat from the normal side. My husband was fully satisfied with the steak that he ordered. He ordered sauteed mushrooms as an after thought, not with the original order. They quite about bringing it. It was a matter of seconds, maybe 1 minute at most. But it was obvious to me that they were canned mushrooms and did not look sauteed."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Salad bar always has fresh veggies and variety of choices. Steak cooked to perfection - no steak sauce required. Salmon/crab dinner is amazing."

  • "food was delicious and cooked perfectly. It is our new favorite restaurant"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "An old classic place - great steaks and salad bar - open kitchen a bit - you go up an order, no menu at the table, so you order at the kitchen. Steaks cooked to perfection. Do not let the outside of the buidling fool you, it is under construction a bit and sort of plain, but the inside is warm and welcoming. Seems staff has all been there a while so the customer service is top notch and welcoming and efficient. Feels like a neighborhood place which is a nice change from chain restaurants. Highly recommend."

  • "We have eaten here multiple times and so happy that they take reservations now. It was packed. We waited not even five minutes. But as usual, food was good."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Totally recommend using open table to get a reservation. We arrived and it was a 45-120min wait, they asked us if we called in a reservation, I said no but booked through open table. They checked the computer and we were sat in 8 min. Food was amazing! Salad bar was excellent, life is good..."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "I enjoyed my time at this restaurant, but the price goes up each time I go there. I would go there more often if it wasn't so expensive."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "The Library has potential but has two major problems. First, the service is just bad all the time, with the same servers and hostess who think service is nothing but a fake smile and neglect of their customers. Second, the decor is old and not maintained. On the exterior, they are re-doing the siding so now it looks like a factory!"
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "My husband and I have been coming to the Library for several years now and continue to have an outstand meal as well as great service."
    Dined on 1/25/2014

    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "We always used to go to Library III in Pleasantville, but after their move to the golf course, we were unimpressed with the new atmosphere. So, we decided to try the one in Williamstown. It is where we will continue to go for a good steak dinner from now on. We loved the fireplace in the dining room and had a great server (Dan)."
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "I have heard great things about the food in this restaurant and I was looking for a meal that was a set up from the average restaurant. My first impressions were not what I expected. First off me and my date got dressed up because we thought it was an elegant restaurant, however, when we go there many people were wearing jeans. The service is unique because you do not order your meal from your seat, you get up and go to the kitchen window and place your order. A bit strange but it was not a big deal. The full salad bar was delicious, everything you could possibly think of. 5 different kinds of fresh breads and a large block of cheese that you cut yourself. (the salad bar is complimentary). I choose the filet(med) and crab cakes, EXCELLENT!!"

  • "Great food but expensive. Can't go there weekly but will go 2-3 times a year"
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "Had reservation for New Years Eve, only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. Waitress very nice, friendly. Food came quickly. Out of 4 dinners only one was not up to the usually goodness. One filet steak was very chewy and it seemed a bit small. Otherwise, everyone else enjoyed the meal."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "The filet (we both had) was amazing! other than that it's just alright...nothing special. The salad bar needs a facelift and the french onion soup was so salty we sent it back, but the steak was so good i would probably go back again just because of that."
    Dined on 1/4/2014
  • "I was not thrilled about the overall experience on this visit. The waitress seemed distant once I explained we were ordering from the Sunday email special. When I asked about the entrees we were told we'd have to ask the chef about them because she was unfamiliar. When we got to the chef he was slicing a cut of meat, put it to the side and picked up his pen to write our order down without nearly giving us a second look. All I can hope for is that when he walked away from us that he was going to wash his hands. The salad bar was sparse and old. The bread was hard. Our meal was delicious as was the chocolate cake. Our meal was $48 and I left an $11 dollar tip regardless. My guest was less impressed as this was his first time there."

  • "After trying to get a dinner reservation for 12/31/13 with no luck at many other restaurants, I tried one more time to call The Library but its line was still busy which, of course, should always be taken as a good sign. But having looked up their phone number on line, I also noticed that they participated in the Open Table on-line reservation service, so at that point I filled in the form and to my amazement because I knew it was going to be a crazy, busy dinner night for New Year's Eve, I got a confirmation within minutes. When we arrived later for dinner, the place was packed and we were seated at our reserved time. Our meal was great! In fact, my husband said it was the best filet that he had in a long time. We'll go back again!"

  • "We have been dining at the Library IV for many years. We always do birthday, anniversary and New Years Eve for sure; and we like the 3 course for 19.99 on Sundays."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We have been going to the Library IV for many many years on New Year's Eve. Being able to make a reservation has greatly enhanced an already great tradition. The restaurant is crowed and the staff handles it with the same fine service that they use throughout the year. The Manger, Tony and Brian the owner are always on hand to keep things going smoothly. I highly recommend this restaurant!"
