"We were NOT told it was a buffet. Neither of us likes buffets. We don't eat that much and it's not our "thing." When we arrived, the street looked like a bee-hive with lots of bees (people) buzzing around, waiting to get in. We we seated outside (we wanted outside) immediately. When we found it was impossible to order from the menu, we got up and left. They should have told us - - or had a choice between the buffet or a menu. Disappointing. But we loved the Serving Spoon. They always do their best for everyone, even when we arrive after their announced closing time!"

"We eat out often, and we have been here three times now. Libby's is located in a cute neighborhood in Sarasota - right across from our favorite upscale grocery store. Libby's has indoor and outdoor tables and we chose one just inside by an open door. It was a beautiful day & our seating was optimum for the area. We sampled four of the small plates and glasses of two of the wines that our server recommended. We greatly enjoyed all. The prices are reasonable and the service was perfect. We recommend Libby's."

"This review is for the Mother's Day Brunch only, I don't have experience here for regular dining. The layout of the restaurant is not suited for this event. Entrance, exit and pathway to the food all intersected at the front making for a very crowded affair. It got very tricky trying to move around. The food area was small and crowded with room for a single file line. The problem was that the food was not replenished on a regular basis so you simply missed out on some of the selections. There was at least 3-4 items missing each time I went through. The food itself was good, about what you would expect for this type of event. Dessert selection was poor, 3 items which were not very good. I would not spend $35/person for this again."

"Our table ordered several of the specialty cocktails - very good, but small for the $10 price (they were served in champagne flutes). Only criticism- tendency to overdo the 'sauces'. Husband had the pork tenderloin and the barbeque (that wasn't clear from menu) type sauce was sweet & overpowering and the dish was literally swimming in it. A drizzle, or a side ramekin, would be appropriate with this dish. I had the chicken roulade and experienced the same problem - it was delicious, but I found the sauce overpowering and there was just too much of it. I scraped most off and found the balance, so I enjoyed it anyway.
Regardless, we highly recommend Libby's - just a great place to relax and enjoy yourself.
Service was excellent, as usual."

"A neighborhood restaurant in Southside Village (near Sarasota Memorial Hospital) with a nice menu featuring dishes with new twists on familiar ingredients. Offers gluten free items. Separate bar area. Ample wine list. Can be extremely noisy at lunch time. We had an over-zeaoulous waitress who coninutally interrupted our meal and tried to remove plates before we were finished, but were it not for that I'd give Libby's a higher rating. It continues to be one of my favorite restaurants for the menu alone..."

"I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Service was very slow....we had to ask other waitstaff and even hostess to find our waitress from time to time. Food was mediocre at best. Dessert took forever to come out (after having to inquire again about it) and we sat waiting far too long for our check. I felt terrible the birthday dinner itself was such a disappointment. I should have chosen one "higher" on the ratings list from multiple sites. Very disappointing!!"

"Very interesting menu with delectable selections with a Korean twist. Loved the "Seoul Kitchen" Chicken Lettuce Cups and the Bulgogi Beef Soft Tacos. An added bonus was half-priced bottled wines on a Wednesday night - which inevitably leads to buying two bottles. Seating outside on the sidewalk was pleasant, the bar area seemed a bit dingy, loud with a faint hint of old beer scent.
Opt for the outside table, enjoy people watching and the very good service."

"We return to Libby's because we are sure of a delicious meal, friendly staff and great energy. I tried a salmon salad for the first time and the salmon was a bit dry; salad portion very good/wonderful dressing. My husband gets the 1/2 order of the wedge with blue cheese and it is something else. If you love blue cheese this is your salad. He also had the beef taco which is so delicious. The seasonings in this dish are amazing."

"My husband and I sat outside and the chairs are way too low. We both got the $15 dinner and we upgraded to the beef dinner. Tasty but fatty. My husband had beer and I had a"glass" of wine with dinner. Maybe two inches in the glass. That's not a glass of wine but more like a sample. Small first course caesar salad and dry chocolate cake for dessert. I would never complain except it was my birthday and we're new to the area. The three course dinner is not a good deal."

"A special evening celebrating my mothers retirement was handled with ease by the knowledgeable staff at Libby's. Our reserved table was immediately available and late comers were quickly directed to us. The server adjusted her normal pace to allow for opening of gifts and then a leisurely dinner of exquisite food. The short ribs are not to be missed for a decadent treat but the grouper also was exceptionally well prepared. Prices are quite reasonable for a dining experience which combines service, taste and atmosphere."

"We have been to Libby's several times and have enjoyed the food and ambiance as well as the service. Parking can be a problem in season but there are several choices if you know the area. We spent New Year's Eve there with our grandchildren, who are grown, and they were very impressed to go to a "dress up" place on New Year's Eve and we were honored that they chose their grandparents to spend time with.
Your early bird menu is very good and such a deal. We had an enjoyable time and our wait staff very accommodating. Out of the party of 6 we had 4 different entrees and no one complained. Thank you for offering good food and drink at a reasonable price."

"A friend highly recommended Libby's on our vacation in Siesta Key. My wife and I had a great lunch dining experience. It was a perfect day and in addition to the outdoor seating, the restaurant had all the patio doors open with a view of the "street scene". The menu is interesting with great combinations of ingredients. The crab cake appetizer consisted of jumbo lump crabmeat minus all the breading found in some crab cakes. The pear salad topped with grilled shrimp was a delight."

"The best part about our dining experience a Libby's was that we were promptly greeted by the host staff. They were very pleasant and eager to accommodate our wish to change our table from the middle of the dining room, (which was near an incredibly loud party) to a seat outside, where we were seated next to an equally loud party and underneath a ceiling fan spinning at top speed so we turned it down. I will give kudos to the chef for food presentation, but that is the extent to which I will dole out the compliments. The food was tasteless a best. The waitress was either inexperienced or overworked, but nonetheless provided mediocre service. Overall it was a very disappointing dining experience and I would not recommend this restaurant!"

"The food was very good, very flavorful and well presented. The carbonara was excellent and the crab cakes were full of crab meat. The noise in the restaurant was extreme, making it very difficult to talk. Service was friendly, but the wait person seemed to disappear for long periods of time. I wish I had had his cell phone number. I would return, but only if the restaurant was half empty."

"This is by far one of the best lunches I have ever had. I lunched with a friend and she and I split 2 appetizers, the spicy tuna rice paper roll & the double dragon which were wonderful. We then had the BEST blackened grouper presented nicley with yummy shredded brussel sprouts underneath. Cannot imagine a better afternoon. Kudos!"

"Everything was excellent for our party of four. 4 salads, 4 entrees and some wine and everything was perfect. Hard to do these days, especially on a Friday night when the Seidenstickers' were also opening Louies Modern. Will be trying it this week."

"Early Dinner 3 Pix is great for the price. Fridays are a bit crowded and smaller portions are served compared to a Wednesday 3 Pix. Otherwise no complaints. Keep it going!
Servers are just great as is the service. Keep that going too!"

"The food and service at Libby's is always outstanding. The menu choices are unique and offer a broad range of choices. I had their house meatloaf for the first time and it was delicious. The prices are what I would consider about normal for the area and caliber of food. All in all one or our favorites when we are in town."

"Libby's Easter brunch advertised well, stressing their extensive buffet offerings, as well as bloody mary and mimosa bar. Unless you dug further and clicked on the menu itself, you wouldn't realize that the $30 excluded any beverages except water. There was no printed menu on the table or notification at the bar that the bloody marys and mimosas were extra. Our server invited us to the bar where we ordered bloody marys,and it certainly seemed that it was all a part of the brunch, rather than an added item. I guess I can only blame myself for not paying closer attention, but this has never happened to me before. I don't mind paying for a drink, but I don't like being surprised...coffee was extra too...I left with a bad taste in my mouth.."

"We are frequent diners at Libby's and we have always been pleased with their food and service until their Easter Sunday Brunch. There was nothing about it that was good. They had added extra seating so the ambiance was one of being elbow to elbow with other diners and yet not able to hear those with whom you were seated. Their on-line menu for the day did not make it clear that it was going to be a buffet. So with the tables being so close together and so many people, it was a long wait to reach the food and a disappointment upon reaching it. The items offered were a jumble without any cohesion and with such such overcrowding, there were not sufficient staff to keep things clean and appetizing. The food was lukewarm and disappointing."
