Excellent food quality and top notched service in a reserved but not exceptionally elegant atmosphere. Food pacing was a bit rushed with the entrees appearing just a few minutes after the appetizer was completed. The Library insists on taking the appetizer and entree order together. They also appear to encourage you not to linger for coffee or after dinner drinks there despite showing same on the dessert menu. They clearly want to keep the tables flowing with new customers. Including dessert we were in and out in about 90 minutes. Prices for many items were quite high but food and drinks were of very good quality. The Library presents itself as a 5 star establishment but customers should not feel like the meal pacing is comparable to eating at a McDonalds!!

Food was horrible, waitress was great. My wife got the filet, wasn’t easy to cut , she sent it back. The duck was also tough. Wife had a Cosmo and I had an old fashioned, neither were made correctly. Save your money and go to 21NorthPrime.

Outstanding meal and service, Thank You Ryan! We thoroughly enjoyed this “fine dining” experience! Another memorable evening to remember - we had dined at The Library in 1983! Hadn’t been to Myrtle Beach since - so excited to find the Library still here - what a treat! Great food and service- such a delightful evening! Hope to be back soon!

Our server Ryan was outstanding, very pleasant and informative. Our meals were outstanding as usual. The value for the price was on point. For an upscale restaurant the noise level of some of the patrons was that of a fast food restaurant making the ambience of our evening not as enjoyable as our previous visits. General suggestion: When dining at an upscale restaurant such as the Library, be respectful of other patrons and keep your conversations to your table

My husband and I ordered escargot which we love.We found them ok,could have been more tender with a lot more garlic.I did not see any garlic in the butter.My husband ordered the filet mignon which was amazing.it cut w a butter knife.the Bernaise sauce was tasteful.I ordered the special halibut topped w crab meat which was good but a little over done.This is a upscale restaurant,the sides that were served w all meals was a red potatoe w sliced carrots.I thought they could have served a better choice of side.Overall a good meal. Our waiter Brian was fantastic and the restaurant was very nice

So off the charts 5 STAR! Unbelievable server with a unique name, so eloquent and just super delightful and knowledgable. Beautiful experience with gorgeous atmosphere and superb food! The perfect roll , herbed butter, tableside Caesar salad, perfectly crusted filet mignon medium rare with Danish blue cheese and mushroom port reduction sauce(was a special), glazed carrots and potatoes, just perfect. Amazing Martinis, wine and cheesecake pluses! Will go back when in MB.

The food at The Library was absolutely amazing! We did not order anything off the menu that required tableside prep although it was entertaining to watch other tables. Our server was professional, albeit he did suggest several add-ons that padded the bill but were tasty nonetheless. The crab, lobster and shrimp trio appetizer was delicious and a great suggestion. We will likely be back.

We were expecting our first dinner in Mryte beach. We order the 2 cocktails. It cames out my drink was very watery and very sweet on my husband cosmo. We also ordered the soups. My she carbs was very sweet and the onion soup was very salty. The service was very good. But the foods not memorable.

A Michelin-star worth experience! We loved it. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and if I weren't civilized, I would have cut it with the fork. Dining at The Library was one of the highest points of our trip. I highly recommend it.

Unquestionably, The Library is our favorite, ‘must go to’ restaurant in Myrtle Beach. The menu is exquisitely prepared and professionally served. Would highly recommend their specialty halibut (or salmon) topped with sumptuous crab & lobster. A bit pricey, but worth the voyage!

We had a GREAT experience at The Library! We recently visited this restaurant for a special dinner to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that this place was something special. Our waiter, Ryan, was simply incredible. His attentiveness and dedication to ensuring our visit was exceptional made a lasting impression on us. He went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met, and his warm and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the evening. Ryan's expertise and knowledge of the menu were commendable, as he guided us through the dining experience with grace and enthusiasm. The entire staff at The Library made us feel welcome and valued. Their friendliness and genuine hospitality truly added to the overall atmosphere. It's rare to find such a dedicated team that consistently provides outstanding service, and we were grateful to have experienced it. Now, let's talk about the food! The Library's menu featured an impressive range of options, and each dish we ordered was a delectable delight. The flavors were expertly crafted, and the presentation was visually stunning. It was evident that the chefs took great pride in their culinary creations. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a culinary journey that left us wanting more. The ambiance of The Library was enchanting. The restaurant's interior was tastefully designed, with a charming blend of rustic and modern elements. The lighting and decor created an intimate and cozy atmosphere, perfect for a memorable celebration. We also appreciated the attention to detail, such as the soft background music that added to the overall ambiance. Our overall experience at The Library was beyond exceptional, and we unanimously rated it a 10/10. The combination of outstanding service from Ryan, the friendly and welcoming staff, the ex

Great Date Night Duo! The Library for dinner and 88 Keys Piano Bar afterwards. *Service was amazing. The server even placed the napkins on our laps for us. *Food was fresh and steaming hot, even the crusty roll. *The salad was assembled tableside. *The Piano Bar was very lively. The only suggestion I’d make would be to remove the shrimp tails from the Shrimp Scampi pasta. My wife had a difficult time removing the shrimp tails from the sauce covered shrimp.
