Libby's is one of our favorite spots, but tonight's experience was disappointing. My food was not hot and my salmon was dry. Our servers were very good but did have our check ready before asking if we wanted dessert. We decided it was too much hassle to ask for a dessert menu so we paid and left. Usually we have a good experience so we will definitely be back.
Libby's - SarasotaResponded on May 22, 2023Barbara, thank you for joining us for dinner. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your salmon--I hope your server offered to have it remade for you. I appreciate your honest feedback about the service and I will address this with our waitstaff. I'm glad you usually have a good experience and plan to return; however, it is our hope that you have a wonderful experience on every visit. Thank you for letting us know specific ways we can make this happen for you.

Unfortunately, my food was cold to the point of soggy breakfast potatoes and rubbery biscuits. I definitely expected more from such a highly reviewed restaurant. The place was very busy so I understand our waiter was preoccupied with other guests, but I got maybe 2 refills of my bottomless mimosa - a recommendation would be to allow self-serve. My partner's food was okay though, but we're definitely not coming back at the price point - we ate at Kojo afterward and for the service, and quality of the food, the difference in cost is unbelievable, I can't fathom how Libby gets away with those prices.

OK the food is good here and the place has a great neighborhood ambiance but my one of my biggest pet peeves is when the waiter doesn’t change used silverware between courses - add insult to injury the manager came to our table and asked if he could remove the plate the shared meatball appetizer was served on but left all the side plates with tomato sauce and used silverware behind - how LAZY!!! and is this how he trains and instructs his staff??? They literally had a stand with clean silverware within a few feet of our table …. Enough said.

It was Mothers's Day so ....however, there were only two of us...and our orders must have gotten buried or something....50 minutes later for a burger and a chicken cesear salad...and after complaining...we got our meals....after two big parties got theirs way ahead of us. SO! There was an issue. I will say Manager took good care of the error by comping the meals...which truly was appropriate and appreciated. I think our waitress screwed up and didn't followup with our orders like the other waiters were doing...more efficiency and following up is needed...with her...not waiting until the customer complains but noticing herself and figuring it out. It is a great place...just was disappointed at sitting there so long. Again, manager did do his due diligence to "fix it" but waitress really should reflect on what she could have done differently to notice when our food was not coming out. Thank you.
Libby's - SarasotaResponded on May 16, 2023I'm sorry to hear that we missed the mark for your visit on Mother's Day. I will address your service concerns with our team, because what you described certainly is not the Libby's standard that our guests deserve.

If you want to escape from the considerable crowd noise, we recommend the patio. Even during a significant downpour with blustery winds, we stayed dry and the noise was significantly reduced. Was very crowded but our reservation was honored promptly. Food was a 4/5. Service was prompt and friendly. Menu was varied enough and surprisingly more affordable than we remembered. My little obsession which almost always leads to disappointment is asking for French Fries extremely crispy and well done. And I make a big deal about it with the server. Libby's delivered! Small point, but notable because it happens so rarely! The fries were excellent.

Libby’s was amazing! By far exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent and our server was great. We were very impressed. We made a reservation and we were glad we did because it was a busy place. We’re visiting from Nashville but will be going back!

Dinner on a Thursday, off season, 7:15pm. Seated immediately, slightly early. Our server Jason welcomed us, gave us the specials for the day, and allowed us time to peruse the menus. We ordered cocktails on his return (the 3Day Weekend was very tasty) and made some dinner choices. We shared the Shrimp and Crab Cake appetizer, crispy, crabby and shrimpy!! My wife ordered Mussels Maryland- yummy, copious mussels in a tasty anisette laced broth. I had the Hanger Steak Chimmichurri, medium rare, and it was delicious. Steak done to order, proper Jasmine rice, and one of the best sautéed spinach I’ve had. Dessert was a really good Key Lime pie Jason was a gracious host, and kept his eye out for us as we dined; never obtrusive, professionally attentive. Libby’s is a comfortable house, welcoming and quality in service and food.
