    Good food, nicely presented. Service a little slow; kitchen's fault.

    This was my first visit to Libby's on Hillview Avenue in a while. My lunch companion and I thoroughly enjoyed our entrees and the Chocolate Decadence for dessert. Our server was wonderful; very pleasant and helpful. The other staff members also were quite nice.

    Started with Brussels which were seasoned very well. Had the salmon and chicken picata for entrees. Also very good. Service was efficient and unhurried. Very nice experience.

    6 of us came to Happy Hour with a dining reservation later. The Happy hour was so fun and the food so substantial and delicious that we had our server cancel our dinner reservation so we could stay at the bar so we could continue our time in the bar area. The Happy Hour food selections are so tasty that we had plenty for all of us to enjoy. Server was great and attentive. Always a great time and tasty food selections at Libby’s!

    Food was delicious, service was good, but noise level was way too loud. There were 7 of us at the table and all had to shout to hear one another. I would definitely go back, but not when it’s so busy.
