    This place should be rated much higher. It was hands down the best restaurant we went to in St. Pete and days later we are still talking about it! It's a perfect choice for a date night out. The ambiance is so classy and the food was incredible. The prime burger was the best burger we ever had and the pan seared chicken was so tender. The portions are sizeable and the sides are glorious. Definitely save room for the clementine cake (or a nutella mousse torte we will try next time). They have a prix fixe menu that includes a starter, main entree, and dessert for $39 per person or you can order off the menu. The service was impeccable. We will definitely return whenever we are in St. Pete.

    Venturing in at dusk, We were greeted with a warm smile in Quick service. The ambience is incredible. Warm and comfortable, elegant and mysterious.

    The food was probably the best I’ve had in St. Petersburg so far. I am quickly knocking the restaurants off my list that are highly talented by the locals. The library delivered this excellent excellent experience and exceptional taste and value.
    The prime burger what is Rich in flavor and moist. The truffle fries were incredible. The half roasted chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever had.

    Favorite restaurant to date. Much applause to this creative chef.

    We had an exceptional dinner at The Library last night. The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were outstanding. My filet was a perfect 10/10, and every appetizer, drink, and dessert at the table was excellent. One entrée had an issue, which was mentioned casually to our server, and the way management handled it was truly impressive. They went above and beyond with their hospitality and generosity, turning a minor hiccup into an example of world-class service. We couldn’t have been more impressed and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend.

    Great experience! It is located in the lobby of the hospital, which sounds kind of weird, but you really can’t tell once you are inside. The decor is incredible with lots of wood paneling and they really pull off the library aesthetic without overdoing it. The food was good, the breakfast wet bread, and the fried chicken sandwich is what we tried. The fried chicken was slightly in the dryer side, but this balanced out with the aïoli that came on the sandwich. Little hot sauce and it was perfect. The drinks menu was very well balanced, and we actually opted for the nonalcoholic drinks which are fantastic. Would recommend for a nice brunch in Saint Pete. Looking forward to coming back.

    Gave 5 stars for Food, Service, and Atmosphere. Everything was just perfect. The prices are pretty average considering the quality of everything. The restaurant is very clean and has a cozy vibe inside. The servers are very professional and all waiters/waitresses are helping you with whatever you need unlike 99% of places where only the waiter thats waiting your table will help you out.

    We ordered the benedict and french toast which were both perfect in taste and portion size. Definitely a must go for breakfast if you are visiting St Pete!
