I don't know if our waiter, John was new or not, but he seemed a bit overwhelmed. It took awhile to bring our bread, and the honey for my tea never came despite two requests of him and one of the runner. The food was okay. The lobster pappardelle was quite rich with cream, not much lobster and lacked flavor. My scallop dish was weird. There was a cold apple and quinoa salad layered between the warm sweet potato puree and the grilled scallops. All good, but odd for a cold thing to be in between the two warm things. The butternut squash was wonderful, as was the side of asparagus. The key lime pie was average. Oveall, the food was good, not great.

The taste of the food was very good but a $3.00 up charge from linguine to rigatoni was not necessary.

We usually love The Library. The service is consistently top notch and the atmosphere is great. However, I was disappointed this time in the tomato burrata salad appetizer under the Specials. The tomatoes were far from being ripe. They were barely orange, with rubbery texture and not very tasty at all. I assumed that since it was a Special on the menu that the kitchen would’ve had vine ripened tomatoes from one of the many local farms in Wallingford. Hoping it will be better next time.

We just love the Library! My niece had her Bridal Shower here a couple of years ago, which is how I discovered the beauty of the Library Wine Bar and Bistro. The atmosphere, food, and service were all exceptional. Recently, we've been quite a few times to their Sunday Brunch and it's our most favorite. The price is reasonable, the selection abundant and delicious, and the service from all staff was phenomenal. I highly recommend this establishment!
