Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted with a friendly smile. The restaurant was already busy @ 5pm with customers laughing and enjoying their food. Service was immediate and drink and food choices were yummy. I will definitely be returning to try another outstanding special! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time! The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive, the building is unique and beautiful. It is a bit noisy, but I like that, I think it gives a restaurant life. The maple chicken was amazing. My husband had shrimp and grits and he agreed it was the best meal he’d had in a while. The portions were good sized and we felt the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend the Library and I know if I ever find myself in Wallingford, ct again, this is definitely where I’ll eat!
