Cool place but overpriced mediocre food

by cutie0999

I have been wanting to check out Liberty bar since I moved here six weeks ago. I ordered a salad and my fiance ordered a tenderloin dish. My salad was 14.00 and was the size of a small dinner plate. I was shocked. The chicken was low quality meat, fatty and chewy. I ordered a side of chicken, which the server had an attitude problem with. I took a bite in the chicken and it went crunch in my mouth. The breast was all fat and gristle. I sent it back telling the waiter I could not eat it. When we got the bill he charged me for it! I asked him to remove the charge and he said "ill see what I can do but I cant promise anything." That made me furious. He never once said he was sorry for my meal. He acted like a snob. Its a cool place but it is no Ruth Chris. I am not sure where the attitude came in. I will NEVER go back here again.

• Pros: Cool Venue for drinks
• Cons: Overpriced food, small proportions, waiters are snobby

Very disappointed with food and service

by chasxw

This place use to be GREAT. I have been here twice in the last month and it has gone from bad to worse. Even the bread was not as good as usual. Service was very slow and server seemed very inexperienced. I just read in newspaper owner was planning to open a new restaurant closer to downtown but seems they have their homework to do on this home front. Very snobby and unpleasant atmosphere. Drinks were enjoyable though along with the company of good friends I met for the evening. We always enjoy the slanted floors. I'll give it one more chance but probably not for at least another month and hope it's much better.

• Cons: Service terrible

Amazing Food!

by KateMaak

Liberty Bar is an amazing restaurant with amazing food. I go to Liberty Bar at least once a week because of how wonderful it is. The waiters are down to earth and very friendly. I know they love the place as much as I do because if they aren't there waiting they are eating! I've tried almost everything on the menu and the Roasted Leg of Lamb sandwich is my favorite. The Zucchini sandwich with the Eggplant Puree is also wonderful. They also have daily lunch specials and if your lucky enough to go on a day they have their famous Meat Loaf you will not be disappointed. I also go for brunch often because of the incredible omelets. You can choose to have fillings from green peppers and cream cheese to roasted lamb and asparagus. Be sure to get a mimosa with you brunch, they use fresh squeezed orange juice and top of the line champagne. You have to save room for desert. The bread pudding is indescribably delicious. I lived in New Orleans for five years and I actually have to say that Liberty Bar's bread pudding is one of the best I've tried. Also the lime chess pie is delectable especially if you love key lime pie. This restaurant is for foodies and people who appreciate flavor and originality.
