Amazing place the atmosphere is awesome. I love books and food so this is the place to go. I could sit here for hours and chat and eat. The food was excellent and the service is great. The staff are friendly and helpful and the chefs dona great job on the food and plating. I wonder if they have seasonal menu changes that would be rad I would come here often. I will tell everyone I talk to.

This place is great for brunch, I had the turkey club sandwich, it’s huge, it’s delicious and looks amazing too. The place is so nice you’ll feel like eating in Hogwarts. Service is a little cold but they know what they’re doing. It’s a perfect 4 stars and a half from me. Definitely will come back.Also they have a bunch of books that just help a lot the overall aesthetic of the place, they serve real coffee cups which is something I’ve been missing everywhere I go, their sofas and chairs are amazingly comfortable. If you wanna impress a date or chill or come with a friend, it’s great.

We had a two person brunch reservation but called in advance to ask to add one more person, saying we wouldn’t mind just pulling up a chair to a small table at all. Hostess said it would be possible if we moved outside but then handed the phone to another hostess, I believe Tiffany, who was very rude and adamant it was absolutely impossible to accommodate one more person. This hostess ended up hanging up on me; I called back to ask to speak to manager about the reservation and was denied. My friend also called and asked if they had any items on the menu without animal products or could do any substitutions and Hostess was rude and said there’s absolutely nothing my vegan friend could eat there and they wouldn’t even leave the cheese off a salad to accommodate ?

I love this place. My daughter has cancer and we spend a lot of our life at Johns Hopkins across the street so naturally we come over all the time for coffee and food. They have the best food and the nicest staff. Thank you so much for existing!

The atmosphere was adorable and the food was incredible! Highly recommend the Cauliflower, it tasted like General Tao’s chicken. The Cobb salad and butternut squash soup were great staples. The avocado deviled eggs were delicious.
Isabel (unsure about spelling) was our server and she did a phenomenal job. Thank you!

This beautiful restaurant is located right by John’s Hopkins hospital, and there is some free parking behind it, but expect to pay for on street parking.The service is impeccable- always attentive and knowledgeable. The food changes frequently, so the choices we reviewed may be gone. The drinks were ok- but the sangria needs to change. They serve it in a wine glass with a couple of ounces of sangria and ice literally overflowing the top of the glass. It is so hard to drink and it ruins the sangria. PLEASE change this policy- it isn’t working. The espresso martini and their farm to table cocktail were very nice and balanced.For the food, the octopus appetizer was charred nicely without drying out, this is a great dish.The burger was one of the best I have had. Fries are good as well, but the little side salad served with it is just remarkable. Was told they try to use local ingredients and the micro greens were from a local farm.Wife had mushroom pasta and she really enjoyed it.Highly recommended for a great meal.

The food is good when it is cooked correctly. I usually order salmon, and I will say 50% of it is overcooked. Burgers are sometimes overcooked, too.

A delightful evening at the Library. Our server was so personable and we enjoyed speaking with her and hearing her advice. Food was delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed light music. A wonderful evening!
