What User doesn't like about The Library At The Public:
If you are expecting to “dine,” don’t bother with this place. It’s really a basic bar, not posh at all despite its advertisements, and strange overpriced menu.

We left and went across the street to Lafayette and had a lovely time. View all feedback.
