   The waitress was outstanding! The food which is usually very good had to be sent back to be heated more. Manager handled situation well.

   We had Mother's day Sunday brunch which was nice but we were disappointed to find that the menu had changed & taken away several delicious items, including the shrimp & grits & grit cakes. Service was excellent, Kevin was our waiter. It was nice the manager came around & gave all ladies a Mother's day coupon for 10.00 off next purchase & a rose.

   Hello Mrs. Roby. Thank you for taking the time for sharing your feedback but most of all, thank you for thinking of Libbys as your preferred restaurant for Mother's Day. We understand that it could be hard to see your favorite dishes being removed. We believe that every single item on our menu is exceptional. It is always hard for us to see which items we should replace for something innovating. I am sure that you have found or will indeed find something that will fit your expectations and that you will love. We are looking forward to seeing you again.

   Wonderful Mother’s Day brunch at Libby’s. The staff is friendly, courteous, and extremely efficient. The food was of great quality and plated attractively. Libby‘s never disappoints.

   This venue has no sound dampening materials in its structure or decor. The noise level in the high-ceilinged room with exposed metal ductwork was like that of a high school gymnasium during a basketball game, inappropriate for dining in a restaurant at this price point. Also, unusual for the price point is the haphazard display of random pedestrian items in the large room-dividing bookcases. No theme, no beauty, no sense. It looks like the owner went thrifting with no overarching design plan. Decor doesn’t need to be expensive to be attractive. These items are neither. The smart play would be to change those room dividers into something sound absorbing, drapery perhaps.

   Hello Mrs. Donna, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate it as we always strive for improvement. I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations when it comes to decorations and cosmetic concepts. I would like to know if we had met your expectations for customer service and/or food. We as restaurant focus mostly on our gastronomy and service looking to also provide great atmosphere. Please feel free to share any feedback on our menu. We will continue to work hard on every single aspect of the restaurant other than food items which is what we provide.

   Dinner last night (5/10/25) was awful. Chilean sea bass ($40) was the catch of the day. I asked for it grilled, it came baked. Fish was spongy and rubbery with no taste at all. My wife had the same terrible entree. The lettuce in the caesar salad was limp and tasted funny. We order bread and never received it. The seating arrangements in the restaurant are cramped. Small table for two people sitting right next to a small table with two other people. Privacy wasn't an issue, because the noise level was so high we could not even talk to one another. Management needs to make some changes in my opinion.

   A bit hectic but a focused waiter, Carlos, eradicated the extraneous nuisances of a busy restaurant.

   Was seated 15 min after our reservation time and was placed a table in walk way tot he out doors. They have an open kitchen and the entire restaurant was visibly clouded with smoke. My water glass was left empty even though the rest of the table’s cocktails were replenished

   Great a couple of appetizers, the shrimp & tuna were awesome! The wedge salad is always a favorite as well as the pasta and meatballs. Keylime pie with pecan crust is yummy! Our server Carlos was fantastic always kept our drinks filled and boxed up leftovers for us.

    My wife and I are fans of Libby's and view it as something of our "go to" restaurant. We always find the food to be excellent, the servers very friendly as well as efficient, the ambiance welcoming, and the overall value worth revisiting.
