To be fair, we were expecting the restaurant at the Arlington, which isn't there anymore. It's been replaced by the library bar. Food was very mediocre. Not bad, not good either. Menu us a bar menu - very limited. It's a nice place, but we were disappointed in the quality and the price, which didn't match. It was quite expensive for a mediocre meal.

It was a nice lunch for my mother and I. I found the drinks slightly lacking- there weren’t any options other than tea unless I wanted to pay for them. I am a very picky eater, and I always expect there will be things I don’t like, but my mom was quite happy with the variety of things served. Overall, not perfect, but very well done!

Not good to go there when a wedding having cocktail hour. Also menu changed and not as good as before. Fish tacos, fish ‘n chips, burger all removed. Need to keep some basic meals.

My husband and I are celebrating our Anniversary and we decided to eat at The Library Bar. Ethan introduced himself as our server and he went above and beyond with the service. Ethan suggested today's drink and what a choice!!! Amazing!!!!We also got to keep the cups as souvenirs. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the tacos. The tacos were delicious, it tasted like authentic Mexican tacos. My husband looooooved the fish and chips. I had to ask who the Chef is here and I need to meet her. Chris, the chef, was humble and all I can do say is,Chris, you've outdone yourself! A great chef and baker. Anyone who wants to be in a chilled atmosphere with excellent service and food, you need to dine here. Again,thank you to the chef, the hostess, everyone who contributed to the amazing service,it's been a long time since we had a service like this. Also, I also want to add that the homemade apple crumble along with the chocolates were so divine,the perfect way to end our celebration. We are definitely coming back here for our next anniversary. We've made new friends and a new yearly destination.

I’ll start on a positive - staff were friendly and service was good. Not a proper Afternoon Tea. The cups, tea pots and serving trays were not proper china. Only six selections of bagged tea were offered. The scones were actually just tea biscuits (store bought?) that were just barely defrosted and served cold. Quality of top tier sweets was store bought as well. Double cream instead of clotted. Price did not reflect the quality.
