“ Had a lovely lunch a Libro last week. I liked the large windows and bookcases with older books. Our service was very good and the food was delicious. I had the apple and goat cheese salad in addition to the minestrone. I would recommend Libro for a nice lunch or dinner. ”
“ One of the best steaks Ive had in my life! The food was divine and the service was amazing. Highly highly recommend the ribeye! ”
“ My first time! I sat at the bar. Taylor the bartender was absolutely delightful. Jermaine the cook came out to ensure that I was satisfied with my food! Libro is a bit pricey, however, the food and cocktails are amazing! I had the house rose, the salmon salad, a dirty martini, and the Oreo crust cheesecake. ”
“ Grabbed 2 seats at the bar today for brunch, great food excellent service! ”
“ My foodie friends and I went here for the first time last week for lunch and it was wonderful. Its inside an amazing bookstore we had a great experience with both. The food was super fresh and well prepared. I had half Carbonara which was more than enough and a salad. My friends had the humus, meatloaf, presto pasta, and chicken sandwich. Im not a humid fan but I tasted it and theirs was really good. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. It all looked great and was hot. The service was exceptional as well. Now the prices were very reasonable as well. Ive spent more money on less food that wasnt that great. Libra will be added to our rotation of lunch venues and I recommend adding it to yours. The is a bar and it looks like its more for wine, coffee, and maybe basic drinks but a great atmosphere. One last thing, the bathroom was clean as well. ”
“ Great food service!! Definitely will return soon! ”
“ I dined here during lunch a few days ago and had a great experience! The staff members were very friendly and welcoming. We were there around noon on a Friday. It was busy, but the wait time about 20 minutes was very reasonable considering how busy they were and since we did not have a reservation. I ordered the crab cakes and a side house salad with bleu cheese dressing. The crab cake was wonderful! I highly recommend Libro at Laurelwood, and I look forward to dining here again soon! ”
“ Perfect spot for lunch or dinner. Menu is filled with fresh greens, sandwiches, handmade pastas and so much more. Great patio and service! ”
