   Another great meal at the Library. Mussels and clam chowder were delicious. Everybody enjoyed their meals. Chicken, salmon, steak or cod; all were yummy. Friendly, efficient service in a beautiful room. Will be back.

   Really enjoyed going here. The inside felt very authentic and the drinks were delicious. Only thing is one of the bartenders wouldn’t let us close our tab when we intitally ordered. My date and I had reservations to eat so we were just planning to order one drink. When we asked to close the tab, but he said he had to get through the line before we closed out. The line had at least 8-10 people in it. We literally got the drinks and went to the back of the line to close out so we wouldn’t miss our dinner. Didn’t really understand why closing us out would have been such a hassle, other than that it was a good time.

   I had a great experience and would recommend people go check this place out. Disregard the rating on food, this is a speakeasy that specializes in cocktails. The food is not the main attraction, there was an assortment of cheeses, fruits and crackers which was appreciated but you go for the drinks and you stay for the drinks not the finger food.

   Awesome place. Great mixologists who know how to make a great cocktail. Will definitely be back. 1 star for food because I had to mark something...no food (that I saw)

   Loved it. Staff was very accommodating. Only feedback (not negatively intended, whatsoever) I wish for a larger group there would have been “reserved” seating option for our whole group to sit together- for instance in the second room. Other than that, will be back 100%, in a smaller group.

   I made reservations for my birthday and we had an absolutely wonderful time. I knew the secret going in but kept it from my family and friends that were joining me. It was so fun to open the locker to narnia. The cocktails were exceptional and delicious. The atmosphere was brilliant. Soft music, dark lighting, cozy chairs. It was perfect for conversation, relaxation and enjoying the company of my loved ones in a fun and exciting way.

   Took my husband here as a surprise for his birthday and it was a cool concept but service was slacking and the bartenders were standoffish. I wanted to record the drink being made but he snapped and said don’t record me. I wasn’t recording him or his face just the drink. Yes I should have asked permission but since I wasn’t recording his face I didn’t think too. That put a damper on the start of our night. We finished our drinks and left without getting checked on once so we didn’t bother to order seconds. It’s a small spot and dimly lit and like I said I liked the concept but doubt we will back.
