Escape CardonaJune 18, 2016The calamari was good; It's sweet chili sauce was a great pairing. The burger was ok. STAY AWAY from the over-saturated with oil mac-n-cheese. It wasn't even enjoyable past the first few bites.
Kerri ReganMarch 24, 2012The Long Island Forever Young Adult Book Club meets here every month. We're always looking for new members. Contact me for more info.
Wine down Wednesdays! Half price wine including wine flights!
Katie TuohyAugust 6, 2014I had their seafood paella which was pretty average. It was really loud and crowded when I was there which was annoying. I don't know if I'd come back.
Great place for a snack and a drink before going home, always a good time.
Pablo SicklerJune 5, 2010This place is not sure if it's a bar, cafe,or a resterant. The real outdoor gaslights are cool though.
Adam D.November 24, 2010don't sit upstairs in the loft. deadly stairs and my knee gives them a big F.U. I should sue!
Farmingdale PatchJanuary 13, 2012The Library Café is located in a historic building built as a bank in 1902 and converted to the Village Library in the 1950s. Great burgers, 30 different martinis and more: http://patch.com/A-jjbH
AllieOctober 8, 2012Slow as molasses. They forgot about us & had to buy us lunch. Nice people, good food, but inefficient.
Laura CataniaOctober 17, 2010Food is not the greatest. Word of advice if you order the grilled mahimahi it really is just an unseasoned hunk o fish.
Friday happy hour with Katie Weeks, best happy hour on planet earth
