Nice quiet relaxing dining experience.
No obnoxiously loud music or over-the-top decor, just great food, friendly service, casual conversations and enjoyable dining.
Pretty much what you'd probably expect a library-themed restaurant should be.

Atmosphere: The entrance was very inviting although a bit outdated.
The hostess station is in a cute “library” setting, however, where I was seated was just an open area with some pretty, large art on the walls (commissioned paintings).
The first thing I noticed was that the wall at my table was dirty and had old splash marks and needed to be cleaned.
A security camera that faces into the dining room had some dusty webs along the cord.
The waitress was very nice. Food: I have to say that I was disappointed with my dinner.
A bread loaf with oil and what I think was pesto was served first.
The bread was pleasantly warm but I didn’t care for the thick pesto sitting at the bottom of the oil.
I had French onion soup which had a great flavor and was the best part of the meal.
My entree was the stuffed shrimp which I regret.
The menu claimed it contained both bacon and jalapeño but neither was on the dish.
The shrimp was on a scalding hot plate and had a green paste on it then covered in cheese and placed under a broiler till it was 100000 degrees.
There was so much cheese I had to peel it off to try to find the shrimp, then the green paste ( I think that was the herb blend) just came right off.
No bacon, no jalapeño.
Worst part was they also added a small bunch of greenery right in the middle of the plate which had immediately wilted and partially cooked due to how scalding the plate was.
Needless to say, I would never order that again.
I chose a baked potato (which was delicious) and tri-colored cauliflower that was oddly satisfying.
I opted to skip dessert. Service: The waitress was amazing and very attentive. Overall, it was ok with the exception of the shrimp entree.
I also thought it was a bit overpriced for what you get.
Had the meal been amazing I may have been more comfortable paying what I did.

Samantha provided excellent service at the bar, attentive, joyful, a pleasant person overall! The food was very average as far as pub fare goes, but priced as though you're on the LV strip.
The building felt empty and worn out, the entire time had the same energy as going to dinner at someone's grandparents house. There's not much in the area though, so enjoy your $60 meal (my two dishes and one drink were that much) close to the hotel!
