Reviews for The Library - inspired by the George Peabody Library in St. Petersburg, FL

I have been to this restaurant many times for business meetings, celebrations, dinners with friends, casual lunches. Always... enjoyable, with impeccable service! Also, and this is something particularly key for business lunches, it is never laud. No needto yell to each others and no room for misunderstandings. Their food spans from contemporary American to some Italian favorites.Their cocktails are excellent and they have a good assortments of beers including local breweries. Parking has never been aproblem as it is off the high traffic area of Downtown. Indoor and outdoor which is available, as far as I know year round.Highly recommended. Read more

Literally amazing! The atmosphere here is so cool, relaxed, and so classy. The server was so helpful and gave great suggestions.... It was so inviting and made a girls get together dinner memorable. Definitely one of my favorite new places. They give you thebill inside a book. Super cute little details! P.S The chef cheese board is the best thing ever! Read more

Perfect spot for a meal and a drink. We met up with a previous colleague who still works across the street. I thoroughly enjoyed... my margarita. It was perfectly made. The rim had a little citrus zest to the sugar. The butternut squash dish exceeded myexpectations. It is a great vegetarian and gluten free option. The burrata looked appetizing as well. The Gouda grits with baconwere rich and quite tasty. There is limited parking behind the restaurant for customers. There is street parking but you mustremain cognizant of the time. They will tow you if the parking meter expires. A $140 ticket isn’t a pleasant post mealexperience. Read more

Had to stop by for lunch. Well, it was more brunch area. We had the option of sitting outside and it was more shaded and quite... quiet. We really enjoyed the food and how great the staff was. The building is beautiful and very reminiscent of Peabody in alot of ways. Oh and that cinnamon bun was absolutely heaven!!! Read more

Overall good food and ambiance. Staff are helpful and accommodating. Nice restaurant for weekend brunch. Located inside medical... center/building. Layout is a little weird (L shaped). They do offer outdoor seating. Similar menu as parent restaurant in Tampa. Read more

Great first experience at the Library! They have a wide variety of items on their menu and great portions (at least Brunch items... are) too, though the prices a bit on the expensive side. You really do pay for the experience though, which in and of itself isgreat!! The decor and overall vibe is superb, and I appreciate the parking options nearby (something dtsp lacks, generally).Comfortable seating and the tables are a good distance apart from each other which is great (especially if you are concernedabout COVID transmission - some of the workers don't wear their masks up though). The drinks are phenomenal! Overall, I'ddefinitely come back. Read more

Very cool concept; Inside is so classy and nice. I loved the atmosphere in here and the social environment. The colors and the... natural light just make for a great hangout. FOOD: Food was pretty good I think I need to try more things, I had the CesarSalad ???? it was better than most but I dont like cold chicken… Ill try more menu items soon Read more

First time at the Library Restaurant, highly recommend as this place is outstanding. We made a reservation in advance to ensure... a spot. I think it's a good idea as it did get crowded after 9:30. Beautiful clean spacious Restaurant with great service.Located within a children's hospital. Greeted at the door and taken to our table. Cappuccino was tasty but our friends keptraving about their mocha latte, we'll try it next time. Everything we had was delicious and so flavorful. While waiting wewatched people next to us devour their Cinnamon roll in two seconds, then they got a huge stack of mouth watering looking applepancakes. Our friends loved their lox salmon bagel and breakfast croissant. My husband said that his classic omelette was one ofthe best he's ever had and my pork belly Benedict was excellent as well. We'll be back many times and bring our guests here! Read more
