The Library Ii - Voorhees

Hostesses and Servers were all terrific. Salad bar was kept full repeatedly. The atmosphere, lined with books … while interesting, was packed too close together with open tables. Felt like we were at Grand Central Station. It took about 45 minutes to be served. They were out of two of the steaks (a steak house! . Our two orders of prime rib were mediocre or slightly below mediocre. Very disappointed. Will not go back.

The atmosphere is a neat concept with all the old books, but it's incredibly dark and outdated. Service was fair, but not exceptional. Prices are considerably higher than similar restaurants in the area. I took my mom after her saying she wanted to try their food on several visits. We went for the prime rib special for the evening, $115 for both meals and dessert. Ordered medium rare for both. What came out was past well done, chalky, and completely inedible. We told the server, but that was the end of it. The only halfway decent part of the meal was the salad bar. We were both so disappointed.

This is an old fashion pub it’s dark inside .some people might not like that. I have a happen to love it. It reminds me of The Pub Restaurant at the airport circle. except much more intimate. I was not happy when they started to charge to use your credit cards but then after some months and I see everybody is doing and I don’t like it but anyway, the library does not stand alone with these charges. steaks are consistently high-quality high priced so if you can afford it, it will be worth it. Right now I notice they have a special it’s not always here. It’s a burger and a beer for $17. It’s true I even heard you don’t have to sit in the bar. You can sit at the table and get it that’s what they told me . Now that’s a bargain. It has one of the best “salad bar none !! a unique way of ordering your steaks. You walk up to a window and there’s a butcher who cuts the steak the way and the size you want. happy hour between 330 and 6 o’clock half-price at the bar All drinks. The restaurant is full of books everywhere that nobody reads lol it’s a great place to go for a date.

As always the library II did not disappoint. Service is not a big part of the experience but they are always very pleasant. The salad bar is great. The way you order is simple enough by going up to a window and speaking to the butcher . While the restaurant in general is on the expensive side I would not say it 's overpriced for the quality meat you receive. Side dishes on the other hand are a little bit expensive for what they are. The place is on the dark side but there 's not a lot of reason to be able to see as the menu is on the wall at the window and is lit up. If you wish to use the paper menus given to you at your table then I would suggest using a flashlight on your phone. They are now under the same ownership as The Pub. We stopped going there about three years ago because something changed and we consistently had bad food and bad service time and time again. Hopefully that doesn 't happen to the Library II. I highly recommend the porterhouse.

Honestly, nothing exceptional about this restaurant. Overall, it was different and an experience but that’s about it. The restaurants concept of a library was cool but the entire time we were there it smelled like old or used (like a thrift store, which was off putting. The service was good. I appreciated our server, who was knowledgeable and kind. There’s a window where you place your order but you can also place it with your server if you wish to. There was a salad bar as well, which was okay. The steaks were good but nothing mind blowing. The side options were underwhelming. The cheesesteak egg rolls were my favorite and I definitely recommend for a starter. For drinks, my partner ordered a mixed drink that was basically water, which was disappointing. I did order a very pleasant red blend, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Three stars overall.
