We were there for our 50th Anniversary. Our daughter recommended this restaurant to us. My wife and I had an outstanding experience at your restaurant. Our server was very attentive and efficient. He made our 50th memorable and exquisite. The food was outstanding with incredible flavor and presentation. Possible one of our most pleasurable dining experiences of our life. Thank you Herb and Wood.

We had a wonderful anniversary celebration! The food was fantastic, the nonalcoholic drinks were tasty, and they brought out an ice cream to share with a sparkler in it in celebration of our day. It was very nice, and the service was impeccable! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Beautiful decor, delicious half chicken, great service, comfortable seating, (mostly) classy patrons. Just wish the music and TV screens footage matched the ambiance, but they were trap and sports respectively.

Dined here for the first time and Michael was our server. He was absolutely incredible! He knew every single detail of the entire menu and made our experience absolutely perfect. The Hunnya roll and bang bang shrimp were so delicious. We will 100% be back.

Outstanding food and excellent service! We will be back! The filet steak and seafood bucatini were amazing, and the Tiramisu and pear vanilla were delicious as well.

    This was our second time dining at Books & Records. The first time was on a busier week night and with the close tables and live music it had a liveliness to it but not super conducive for quiet conversation. This time we visited on a Sunday evening and it was quiet and we had great table conversation. Both times our food was excellent (we love the brussel sprouts and the chicken bao buns). This time we also got the tuna crudo and it was delicious. Service is attentive and our server was kind.
