It began as the dream of Lou Jenn to bring France to Indy. The streets were lined with limos on opening night. While the Mon Rêve (French for "My Dream") dripped with finery like the German crystal chandeliers you can still see today, it was ahead of its time. Soon the guests left and the rooms lie quiet. An entrepreneur named Al Wei got a call. A friend who owned a building, currently being used for offices and a small restaurant, wanted to meet. Mary, Al's wife, guessed what was going on and left a very simple message on Al's voicemail. "Do NOT buy a restaurant!"
Al met this friend and saw the run-down building but, he also saw a grand entrance, fountain with Venus and rooms still adorned with European décor. Al saw a dream and forgot Mary's words warning. Al bought The Library Restaurant & Pub. Much of the original glamour remains. Additions such as the beautiful bar and patio are where our guests enjoy "A little history, a lot of art, and above all, incredible food! We are also open on Sundays for special occasions!
