The Library - inspired by the George Peabody Library

I was there this weekend, I invited my sister and my boyfriend as I've been there a few times and the food and service is always excellent. This weekend I was dissatisfied and disappointed with my server. She did not check on us, we placed the order with the manager since she was too busy flirting with the customer at the bar, did not offer refills disbite empty glasses. I noticed the table beside me whom she was also attending feel dissatisfied with the service as well. I expressed my experience with the manager and she was very kind and understanding about the whole situation and I appreciate the manager (Kate) for being a great example. I drove from Tampa because i know the service and the atmosphere and I was excited to share that with my loved ones. Other than that the food was excellent I highly recommend the Warm Buratta and the Clementine cake. And an easy shareable is the breakfast pizza.

Afternoon lunch 😋 I ordered a Mocktail, the Library Classic, and a Shareable Smoked Salmon Dip! I was quite satisfied. 😌 We plan to return often to order everything on the menu. I love the setting because I'm a book-fan 📚 📖 nice location to wind down and have meetings. They bring the bill inside of a book love 😍

We came here for my dad’s birthday dinner, our server was Lenny and he was fantastic. The food was great too. Love the atmosphere we will definitely be back to try brunch!

Loved the whole setup at The Library in St. Pete! We had a party of 10 for a birthday brunch and it couldn’t have gone better. Our waiter, Dusan, was fantastic—super attentive, though he did vanish for a bit (probably to rest from all our orders 😄), but he came back swinging and stayed on top of things. Food: Everything was absolutely delicious and seasoned perfectly. -Breakfast Burrito – stuffed and flavorful, a breakfast powerhouse. -Library Classic – a solid, can’t-go-wrong choice. Smoked Gouda Grits – creamy, cheesy, and comfort in a bowl. -Turkey Club – fresh, stacked, and well-balanced. -Fried Chicken Sandwich – crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with just the right seasoning. -Burger – perfectly cooked and juicy. -Side of Pancakes – fluffy and just sweet enough to round out the savory dishes. The live music from the gentleman singing was such a nice touch—he was amazing and made the atmosphere even better. The location is prime real estate, right in the heart of the hospital district, so there’s always a steady stream of traffic/customers. The Florida skies weren’t kind to us that day—a torrential downpour started just as we were leaving… lol. Overall, GREAT experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Great looking restaurant at the administrative building of the John's Hopkins All Children's Hospital. The restaurant is run by the group behind the Oxford Exchange in Tampa. The restaurant is dressed to look like a library - George Peabody, by the name and materials. Although the location and service are very good, the restaurant itself feels a bit neglected (hardwood floor is getting a bit worn under more popular tables, many books on shelves have fallen over, etc.). Food is average and portion sizes were fine for the price. Would recommend for the location and vibes.

Brunch was great! Cool location. We had simple breakfast, brunch burger, cinnamon rool, and cocktails. Service was great , food and drinks were top notch.

I love their breakfast burrito! Listen, if you put eggs and chorizo in front of me, I’m one happy girl. Add potato and wrap it all up in a tortilla? Yeah, I’m obsessed, it’s that simple. Speaking of simple, the Super Simple Sandwich is simply perfect! It hits the spot the same way your favorite comfort foods do. It’s amazing how one bite of your favorite foods can take you right back to childhood!

Sooo The Library has been on my list of places to try since I love their sister restaurant, Oxford Exchange. I was not disappointed. From the moment you walk in, it really does feel like a library with food. They are connected to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, which you have to go into if you need the restroom. I loved the seating, we had a small table in the back that would’ve been the perfect reading spot if I had brought my book. The blue accents in the décor stood out to me too, especially since blue is my favorite color. The service was excellent, and our server gave us great recommendations. This is definitely a repeat spot for me. What Was Ordered: Benne Cauliflower = Nice seasoning Salmon = Cooked well and paired with a yummy sauce
