    Food was good and service was a bit slow. Our server was trying and apologized for the delays. The interesting thing was that the seat cushion was torn and the table was in bad shape. It seems as though they are positioned as a nice restaurant with a slight Denny’s feel. Krabby Patty sandwich was good.

    We very much enjoyed everything about Libby’s in Sarasota. The food was excellent. We were a party of 3. I ordered Chicken Milanese. My boyfriend got the ribs and my cousin ordered a steak. Everything was great. We started with the brussel sprouts and a bottle of wine for Wine Wednesday. The portions were generous. We ended up taking half of our dinners home. We ended the dinner with Key Lime pie. We thought the pie could have used more key lime flavor. The chocolate cake was truly death-by-chocolate! So good! We highly recommend our server Steve! He made great recommendations and his service was excellent!

    My friend and I each had a mocktail that was very good and we each had a salad. Both the Cesar and the Burrata Panzanella were excellent. My friend had the Cesar that she liked very much and I I will definitely get the Burrata salad again. Sat outside and really enjoyed the atmosphere.

    Our server was excellent—very kind and knowledgeable. However, the noise level was quite loud, and there was a child who screamed every couple of minutes. While this wasn’t the restaurant's fault, it did affect our enjoyment of the meal.
    Libby's - SarasotaResponded 6 days ago
    Thanks for the feedback, Jayne! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our server and food. We understand that the noise level was a bit too high and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We're continuously working on improving our guests' experiences and your feedback is invaluable to us. We hope to serve you again soon!

    Service was rushed. There was a loud fan inside and they wanted to sit us right next to it.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Sarasota. From the moment we walk in we feel like family. Beth did a wonderful job taking care of us. It is always so nice to see the manager, Ericka with her bubbly personality. HH drinks are great. All the food items we had were all hot and cooked perfectly.
