We were in Grapevine for a conference and needed dinner. We saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a shot. It turned out to be so good that we came back another night to try something different. The mango pecan crusted chicken salad was phenomenal as was the chicken carciofi. Not only was the presentation beautiful but the taste was wonderful as well.It is a small place inside of a hotel. So it wouldn't work for a large group. But it's a cool place with great service and excellent food.

The Library had been recommended to me and the reviews looked great so it was the pick for our get together with long time friends. I was a little worried, because there were 8 of us and when I called they would not take a reservation. The employee I spoke to told me I wouldn't have a problem getting a table on the Friday after Christmas at 6. So when I got there and saw how small the space is I was surprised, but also she wasn't wrong, we pushed two tables together and we had enough for 8. They had a consistent flow of customers, but it never got overly crowded. It is a pretty basic bar set up, nothing fancy. The bartender/waitress was very good. Even when she made a mistake on one of the guy's drinks, she quickly fixed it. And...she was THE only bartender/waitress all night! Almost four of us girls got the Chef Fermin's Chicken Carciofo. It is delicious! We all loved it. I love artichoke hearts and spinach so I thought it was the perfect dish. My husband said his sliders were overcooked, so he did not love his meal as much. They have a nice cocktail selection. There was only a small wine selection. The prices are very reasonable. I had been a little skeptical when I found out it was a bar/restaurant in a hotel, but it's a nice place for dinner and a drink. The bathrooms are in the hotel hallway. The hotel desk agent happily took our picture in front of their Christmas Tree. Overall it was a good time. I didn't get any photos of the meal, though.

Just a quaint hotel restaurant. Nothing really special, in my humble opinion. Wasn't bad but wasn't worth going out of the way, either

crappy location in a mid range hotel, the shrimp appetizer is awesome! great sauce, the chips are great but queso needs work kinda bland with good tomatillo salsa. needs to be in its own location but food is good. Steak cooked good but a bit tough, chicken was amazing. Quite possibly the best chicken ive ever had. 4 out of 5 just because of location and atmosphere, food is a 5....except queso is a 2.

Small location but BIG Flavor. Very tiny Bar/Lounge inside the residence inn but the Food was superb. The Five Pepper Chicken was excellent, flavorful and very filling. The Crab stuffed shrimp was amazing and were gone before i could snap a picture. Sliders i will say came out a little dry but nonetheless still very good. The BBQ wings were great too.Staff was courteous and very friendly. A wonderful location to get a drink and bite to eat, would highly recommend.

This restaurant is a wonderful enigma. It is inside the residence inn, a place where you'd never look. The chef makes amazing food. You simply must go here. We tried the blue crab stuffed shrimp and the Chef's chicken cariofo. Both were very rich and satisfying. Something you would find at any fine dining establishment. Service by Amber was top notch. All this in a tiny but tasteful cozy restaurant. Truly a hidden gem. We will become regulars to try the entire menu ... and then start over again.

I am basing this strictly on atmosphere, i did not sit down nor eat anything.I looked inside and came to the conclusion the name should be changed from the Library to the Morgue.It was so dark and quiet it might be great for a romantic date but other than that it's not what I need in a hotel bar.However the Hilton across the street has an awesome bar with a patio and firepit and a much livelier atmosphere. I've gone there every night of my stay.

Was staying at the Embassy Suites, opted to eat at the Library after reading the reviews. Quick walk and so worth it. Chef Firmans chicken was really good. Bartender was super nice as well. Will go back again.
