                                                          First time at the library but certainly won’t be the last. Came for my wife’s birthday and was better than we expected. Very cosy atmosphere and well decorated. The service and food was exceptional. My wife had the special halibut with crab and I had the duck au l’Orange after starting with the escargot. The escargot was better than any we had on our recent month long trip to France. Both entrees were delicious and service was fast. Ended the meal with the Bananas Foster made table side. We are planning to come back in a month for my birthday dinner.
