I recently dined at The Library, and I was captivated by its unique ambiance - floor-to-ceiling bookshelves surrounding you makes it feel genuinely cozy. The lunch menu offered delicious options; I went for the steak sandwich paired with their intriguing peacock sauce - a delightful surprise!

Not to mention, the truffle fries were amazing. We enjoyed great cocktails and a vibrant atmosphere. The staff was attentive, making our experience even more enjoyable. Definitely returning for brunch soon... 📚
