   Great menu for value. Had the half rack of ribs. Fell off the bone and were delicious. My wife had the salmon. Always perfect.

   Great find! Just outside the downtown with easy parking. Sat on the patio. I had salmon and husband had the Thai noodles. Both scrumptious. We did happy hour cocktails and were treated to a complimentary dessert as first timers. The Key Lime Pie OMG! Best I’ve ever had. We’ll be back!!

   Everything was wonderful-food and service. Eight of us had dinner after seeing an exhilarating performance at Westcoast Black Theatre.

   Had a lovely extended lunch on the porch. The good food and good service make us frequent flyers. I do wish they would bring back the Crab Lollypops. That was a great serving for one. My wife doesn't like crab, so I'm not going to order a large amount for just me.

   Amazingly, Sarasota does not have any good Chinese food and while Libby’s is not Chinese food their Orange chicken is amazing and is my every other week Chinese fill. Service is friendly, sitting outside on a great night is the best.

   Thanks for the feedback, Chris! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our Orange chicken and that it's becoming a weekly staple in your Chinese fill-up. We appreciate your high ratings and look forward to serving you again soon!

   We have dined with you numerous times. We are not at the point of bringing new people to your restaurant to experience your food. It was delicious as usual. My only comments are the atmosphere was a little noisy. We had one guest who is very hard of hearing and one guest who is 93 years old. They were difficult to communicate with at the table. I don't know if we could have asked for a quieter area to dine? Maybe I can ask? next time? I will say Mike was a good server but he did reach across in front of me to place my dining guest her meal. Not sure why - maybe the plate was hot and he had to get it out of his hands fast? Other plates and drinks were placed properly and he did say he spent the whole day there so he may have been tired also. Don't get me wrong, he was an excellent server and we tipped him well too but I wanted to mention it so maybe he takes notice? I also forgot to use the generous $5.00 email coupon you sent to me so we all the more reason we will be back. Thanks. Luann
