I love this old building and the character it has retained. The hype leading up to this dining experience may have overshot the mark. Our party of 6 dined, and the majority of us felt that the food was lack luster, esp. given the price. We expected to be blown away, and really only one of us felt that way. The mixed drinks were okay but inconsistent with each round. The ceasar was cold and fresh, and the salad dressing clearly home made. The Wagyu sirloin did not impress. The lobster mac & cheese was bland and barely had lobster meat in it. The best course was dessert. Everyone who had something was impressed by those. For the money, we've had far better food but the overall atmosphere was very nice.

Terrific experience. Both Leah and Tessa were excellent and very helpful in making this birthday dinner as special as could be. The food was excellent and presented very nicely. My wife was impressed with being grreted by the Maitre d' with a "Happy Birthday". So many small touches that made the evening so special for her. We are both so happy we chose the Library to celebrate her birthday, and will be back.

The library restaurant is the #1 place to visit in Portsmouth nh! Not only is the staff so helpful, sweet and accommodating but the cocktails and food are just divine! The cozy ambience really adds to the experience. I recommend for any special occasion.

The very best meal I have ever had. I am very picky, and this place was pure perfection. I had the filet mignon, my husband had a filet mignon as well, and our friend had the wagyu beef steak. We all enjoyed it immensely. We added sides ( all sides are a separate fee) of asparagus, garlic mashed, and Mac and cheese. Again, absolute perfection.Service was phenomenal. Friendly, efficient and easily anticipated anything we would have asked for. We were so stuffed, that dessert was out of the question , but the selections looked amazing!I look forward to visiting again sometime in the future.5 stars across the board!
