Perfection. The Library never fails to be a superlative dining establishment for special occasions. Their staff is professional yet personable. Their menu is classically driven and delicious. Their wine list is impressive. An evening here coupled with their neighboring piano bar Eighty Eight Keys is the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or just a Saturday night.

We had an anniversary dinner here, and it was phenomenal. From the greeting at the front door to the end of our dining experience, everything was wonderful. The restaurant is quite quaint and unique, with a double row of book shelves lining the ceiling. It was a great place to celebrate a special occasion with intimate dining then a visit to the piano bar next door. The Scottish Salmon was ultra tender, cooked perfectly. The steak Diane is prepared table-side, and is really a treat to watch.

The waiter, Chris, was exceptional. The She Crab soup was excellent, as were the escargot, Cherries Jubilee, and the sauces on the fillet and the halibut, which was fresh and delicious. The fillet was an end cut, which was tough, and the mid-rare order was perilously close to well done. Still an excellent experience!

Almost everything was perfect for my wife's birthday. Our first time here, and the reason I deduct a star, you failed at ever telling us there is a 3% charge added for use of our credit card. That should have been upfront, and we would have paid by debit or cash. As this was about a $1200 tab, the 3% surprise was not at all appreciated. The food was excellent, the waiter, Ryan, did a good job with service. Please train your staff to inform clientele of your surcharge upfront, not after the tab is paid.

One of our favorite fine dining restaurants in Myrtle Beach and we're regulars. This time, however, we were overwhelmed by several tables of "loud" golfers. The waiter was the best, ready for our every need and request. Perfect. Since apparently the kitchen was overwhelmed a little, the six of us all ordered filets, the timing was slow. In fact, the filets for two of the six in our group were over-cooked a little--one was medium instead of rare and the other was medium well instead of medium rare. Np complaints were made because the restaurant was clearly overwhelmed by the people. I had bragged all week about the wonderful quiet ambiance and steak that you could cut with a butter knife. Didn't work out so well this visit--but clearly one of Myrtle Beach's best. Had we "complained" to the General Manager Chris, he certainly would have fixed everything. We'll be back often--after golfers are fewer. The table-side Caesar salads and Bananas Foster were perfect. Still my favorite "go to" fine dining place.....

We followed them from their location on 12th to there present location. They have an amazing staff and excellent staff. The addition of the piano bar is absolutely the next level. Excellent selection of bourbons, amazing service

Every morsel of food was more delicious than the previous one. We had all the tableside specialties- Caesar salad, steak Diane and cherries flambé. Our server was Rob and he was so personable and interesting. We felt like we were at a good friend’s establishment and being spoiled with the attention and excellent food. 10 out of 10. Definitely would recommend!

We were a bit disappointed. We were celebrating a very dear friend's 90th birthday....the waiter (Brian)knew this and I had to say it was her 90th birthday that day and he just said Happy Birthday. What a disappointment ! There was butter on the table and we never were served bread! The courses were rushed and from the start Brian said that we would go at a slow pace to enjoy everything. How upsetting since we came to The Library because this was a very special occasion!
