    We had not been back to Libby's recently. While we all enjoyed the food, the service was spotty and slow. It's difficult to really enjoy the evening with poor service. We may come back but not anytime soon.

    Food was great and service was great. we sat at the bar and our bartenders were very attentive and very helpful. My mom is vegan and he was able to suggest a great appetizer and meal. The only thing that would make me want to not go back is that it was HOT! I am not sure if the AC was not working or something but I was hot. The bartenders made a remark about it to.
