Johns Hopkins was inspired by his close friend George Peabody to use his great wealth for the public good. The collaboration between these men and the institutions they created is the inspiration for our restaurant, located in the Research & Education Building at the Johns Hopkins All Childr

Great food and service!
This place is fantastic! From the food to the services and ambiance! Incredible!
Always a great experience at The Library. The menu has lots of wonderful choices. Our server, Christian, was outstanding. They have opened up lots of outdoor seating. The ambiance inside is wonderful. I would highly recommend The Library.
Food portions at brunch were overwhelming. Not necessary to overdo the size this way.
Lovely brunch in a beautiful space. Service was good, food was plentiful and delicious.
Amazing presentation and high quality food! Would recommend!
What a lovely experience last night at the Library! The service was great and the food was divine! My steak was cooked to PERFECTION! Can’t wait to go back.
Great place, very different ambiance and food is great as well. Even for the good quality food, it feels a bit expensive (vegetable sides are also around $10 each). That could be slightly improved, unless fresh truffles are being used in every dish!
But love the place, the service and I have recommended to many friends.
Great food. Salmon and grouper were excellent! Unique atmosphere. Very good service.
Amazing service and food!
Waited 35 minutes for a table despite having a reservation. Typical brunch fair, food was OK. Nothing memorable. Presentation was nice.
Food here is always top quality. However for the price, the level of service didn’t match. If you’re going sit outside during daytime, there should be umbrellas for those in direct sunlight. And continuous water service. Our server only showed up three times, one to fill up water cups, second to take our orders and third when she realized our orders weren’t brought out in full. Had to track her down in order to pay and then she insinuated that she deserved a $15 tip on a $45 meal by asking if I wanted any change. Will think twice about coming here again.
First time there and will definitely be back. Food was fresh and outstanding. Jannell was our server, she was amazing.
Amazing quality and fantastic service! Our new favorite restaurant in St Pete
I had a great time at the library. Food was a bit overpriced, but it did taste great. Ambience was fun. Well decorated restaurant that keeps to the library theme. I would go again.
The outside seating is great, especially once the sun is setting. The service is fantastic. The drinks are wonderful, and the dinner menu is fantastic. The truffle pasta was amazing! We had a truly great date night out.
Highly recommend! The food and service was great! The library vibe was awesome and made for a great date location.
Great service, amazing food. I am very pleased with this restaurant and will be going back!
Great food, good service, beautiful restaurant.
This place is so cool. It really is built out as a library with books on shelves. The food and drinks are fresh and tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would love to see this restaurant in Nashville. It would do really well here.
Liked the atmosphere, food was good. Service was adequate.
Great food and drink. Came in from Arizona for my cousins wedding and we went here the day before for a family dinner. The brûlée oranges were amazing. Never would have thought to use lemon in Brussel sprouts, they were so good! Had the Scotch flight. Just a great experience overall. Janelle, our server, guided us thru the menu and did not lead us astray!
Great food. Was a little concerned about it being in the hospital, but you can’t tell at all. Separate entrance and great vibe. They seemed understaffed as is the case with most places these days. Waitress was super nice, but main course was pushed out before we had a chance to finish our apps. They need to work on timing. Would totally go again though!
Overall slow service & just OK food.
Wow! Awesome experience all the way around. Menu was interesting, unique, and most of all delicious. Service was over the top. Such a great experience for our 21st anniversary. We are still talking about it. Highly recommend!!
Kyle was awesome and the whole staff! Keep it up!
The Chef's Board and Benne Cauliflower were wonderful as were the Old Fashioned cocktails. The scallops were good and the New York Strip was excellent. We will definitely return. The service was a bit slow but there were six of us, which might have contributed to that. Will definitely return!
It was a lovely lunch outside.
Been wanting to check this place out for a long time. My wife and I finally went on a brunch date to the Library under expectations that the food and ambiance would be phenomenal.
The food did not disappoint. The griddled muffin was amazing. The French toast was unbelievably rich and very thick cut pieces of bread. My wife had the avocado wedges and the BLT. Avocado wedges were amazing. BLT was a little lacking, but still tasted great.
Ambiance was very energetic and the noise level was very loud. Service was good and courteous, but not overly chatty or social. Our waitress seemed very hurried.
We will definitely recommend the Library to our friends and family and look forward to going back again soon!
Even though we had reservations, we still had to wait. Then when we got seated it took a long time before anyone came to acknowledge we were there.
Great service, great atmosphere, and great food! The French toast was the best we have ever had! We will definitely return in the future.
It was fun and good food. The only option was to sit outside and it was HOT
Great service.
We ate dinner at the bar. Everything was GREAT! Kyle, Taylor & Ben were spot on with recommendations, and attentive service. Food was spectacular. First time there, and what a great surprise. Our new favorite. You need to go there.
Service just not very attentive. Could have been a bit better. Also didn’t do anything for wife’s birthday, reason for the dinner. That was a little disappointing. Didn’t offer desert either. Food was amazing
Loved everything
Food was great - service was extraordinary. Our server even stood up on a chair to get the best photo of our group. She was amazing!
Great food, service and atmosphere!
Food was delicious and service was perfect!
A wonderful dining experience.
