Service and food were great! Gabe did a great job recommending menu items. Definitely recommend the Dr. Pepper ribs and Dragon Berry mojito. Delicious! Fish n chips could have been a bit crispier but were good as well.

Recently, I took my niece to Libby's for lunch to celebrate her 45th birthday. Due to the heat, we did sit indoors which affected the noise level. Nevertheless, from the warm welcome from the hostess to the service provided by Myroslava, it was a really nice lunch. The food was very good - we both took boxes home with us. Libby's is a perfect, low-key, welcoming, neighborhood establishment. You won't be disappointed.

Tuna tataki is SO good, plenty enough to eat as a meal. I have a hard time ordering anything else at Libby's because it is SOOOOO yummy. Was with friends though, and they got the Santa Fe Chicken Salad, every bite eaten, and the Honey Salmon also very good. Wine down Wednesday (1/2 off select bottles of wine) worked well for my friends.
