BOLI Love!
We had our engagement party here and it was so wholesome. I cannot recommend them more. They were so nice and accommodating. Always made sure the guests had drinks or food and that they were comfortable. The staff is all super sweet. If you’re looking for a smaller, more intimate place, don’t overlook the Library Cafe. The guests were ranting about how good the food was.
We had an awesome wedding shower at the Library Cafe for about 25 ppl. The food was very good, the service staff was always helpful and very nice (Jessica was our main server), the pricing was reasonable. The room size was just right, not too big nor too small. We liked that the party room was separate from the main part of the restaurant. It was not easy to find a nice venue for a small party and we are so happy we found the Library Cafe. Lastly, we must mention the cake - it was pretty and delightful. Mike - thank you for making it so easy to make the arrangements, including all the final details.
Jessica - thank you for all your help and for being a pleasure to deal with.
Always have a great time when I’m here and go out with a group of people. the food is always great and the drinks are always a 10/10 they always have a good music playing & the staff are fabulous
Our group had a great time! The food was good, the company was good, the atmosphere was great and the best part was the wonderful service our server Brandon! He was professional, friendly, and extremely attentive to our needs and requests. He always had a smile on his face. I would definitely come back again!

My now husband and I chose The Library Cafe for our rehearsal dinner and it was a beautiful event! We had 25 people so we were able to book the upstairs room and had a personalized menu. The food and service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Thank you again for a memorable evening !
The Library Cafe A+++ The dinner was great! The price was right and the drinks were strong! We had a great time and the wait staff was super friendly.
Venue: Library Cafe- 10/10- I’m a lawyer so the library theme was on point and the price was great. We had the upstairs area with its own bar. Chose the brunch option and added a salad (and thank goodness we did, because we devoured that salad). Everything was great.
