Libelula Cafe & Grill Reviews
karaokearepastequeñosmusicenvironmentpricesquesadillavenezuelanBYOBgreen salad
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We went here around 3pm on a Friday whole space to ourselves. Waitress was patient with us, a group of 5. We got the Tostones Rellenos with chicken and maduros with cheese, both delicious but i didn’t take a picture. We then got cheeseburger, chicken quesadilla, wings, rice with grilled chicken , another rice with beans and wings, and a cheesesteak and arepa. The bill wasnt that bad for everything we ordered! The food was good. The service was good. I believe its byob and karaoke Friday nights!
May 18 · GenesisWe have visited several times with large parties. The staff is amazing! All are kind, professional, accommodating, and efficient. All dishes, including apps, dinner, and dessert have always been fantastic. They use the freshest ingredients and make sure all dishes are done the right way and are beautifully presented. This restaurant exceeds our expectations! The menu offers a wide variety of options, including for children. We visited on a Sunday to celebrate my niece’s first communion and didn’t realize we stayed past closing time. The staff kept telling us not to worry about it and did not pressure us to leave at all, which we all thought was so kind of them all. They helped us set up a cake table for the communion celebration. You can tell the restaurant really cares about its guests. The service is always impeccable from start to finish. We look forward to visiting again soon due to the excellent service and delicious food.
May 22 · Elsie MirandaPlace was clean. Food was ok overall.The tequeños were really good.I ordered a chicken empanada and a chicken arepa (they were out of pork). I went on a Wednesday evening and had the place to myself.I had to eat the chicken with my fingers because the waitress, (who continued speaking English to me while I clearly responded in Spanish) took my silverware thinking I would not use it. Why start picking up the table when it's not busy? She tried taking my water too but I asked her to leave it.I then paid cash and had to wait around for change without being told anything.When I went to tip her, she snatched the tip out of my hand and had an attitude.The gentleman behind the bar and the waitress kept asking me about 4 times if the food was ok... I just wanted to enjoy my food.The customer service is enough to not make me want to go back. There are several restaurants in the area with similar menu.
June 18 · Ms. QMy husband and I had dinner at Libelulu last week and it was great! The service couldn’t be better and the food was delicious. We started with the ceviche, had Ropa Vieja and chicken entrees and rice pudding for dessert. I highly recommend!
March 11 · Carol SelzerAmazing service and food is delicious! Great place to enjoy some good music with friends and family. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and gives a nice homey feel! Def recommend coming here
