The Old Library Restaurant & Inn

Nice menu with good cocktails. Beautiful place and the prohibition/roaring 20s theme is fun.

My friend got married here. The staff were amazing, the food was amazing, the venue is absolutely beautiful. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Andrew Carnegie designed this modest library converted into a trendy restaurant, so good views, nice tap beers but the Yuengling was a bit skunky. Bar maid offered to swap it out, but my fault, I refused because I haven't had one in such a long time. Ver carta

Love the atmosphere and the preservation of history. The food and cocktails are excellent! This gem is certainly worth it for your next lunch or dinner out! An easy drive from Ellicottville and surrounding ski towns as well!Vegetarian options: Wide variety of vegetarian options!

After the response from the owner for my previous review, I figured I'd edit this completely. I appreciate the response. The food was excellent, though I still feel a bit weary due to the attitude the hostess gave me that night. I'm happy to know that my concerns aren't much to worry about.

Very disappointed in the quality of food and additions for the cost. Definitely would not order food again from here unless the quality greatly increased or the price dropped dramatically.The cocktails were made very well and the bar tender was very nice and attentive.The atmosphere of the old and historic building definitely gives a great vibe and welcoming feeling.We would definitely return for cocktails at the bar but definitely it the food.

I was reminded of this place as I thought about interesting Calgary restaurants I have been to and I realized I probably forgot to leave a review but about a year ago on Christmas week I came here for one of their special courses and the food was ok but when I went to pay they forced me to tip like 40$ approximately and said it was like policy or something but none of this information was made known beforehand and honestly ridiculous how it seems these servers seem to come up with ideas on the spot either way totally unprofessional

When I was young, The Old Library was a restaurant staple in Olean! That's why I was so happy to see it reopened as a full-time restaurant, and not just an events space. Before even commenting on the food, I'll say that it's worth visiting just to see the Carnegie library! It is so beautiful and I'm so happy to see it has continued to be preserved! Regarding the food, I was excited to visit because it's under new ownership. I was initially concerned because the menu seemed a little random (ramen, quesadillas, sandwiches, etc) but I was pleasantly surprised! I was very happy with my meal, and I anticipate coming back next time I'm in Olean!

Yesterday our family celebrated the life of a beloved man who had passed away. The attention to detail by the owners Dan and Katie DeCerbo of The Old Library Restaurant in making this gathering memorable was exceptional. The delicious food, attentive service and beautiful private area for us to spend time together was so appreciated. Besides being a highly rated restaurant, this fine establishment is one of the only places in the Olean area which takes reservations and provides excellent services for groups of various sizes to meet and dine in private for whatever the occasion. The DeCerbos have thoughtfully and extensively updated this historic treasure while maintaining the landmark's inte... Ver carta
