Early Dining Mon–Fri 4–6 PM and Sat 4:30–6 PM. Minutes from Indianapolis International Airport. Housed in a beautiful French Chateau, The Library Restaurant is a family-owned restaurant that wishes to provide their guests with a unique dining experience with little history, a lot of art and above all, incredible food! Our legendary prime rib is aged in house and rubbed in a special blend of herbs.

We then slow roast it overnight to ensure the utmost tenderness. Last we serve it with our house ruby port au jus and creamy horseradish sauce. We also have many other popular dishes such as our stuffed salmon and fall-off-the-bone braised barbeque ribs. The Library has a beautiful full service bar where you will find many of our regulars enjoying their favorite classic cocktails as well as our own concoctions. We also have 2 banquet rooms and 2 board rooms to accomodate any events or business needs. Audio visual equipment is available as well as complimentary wireless internet. Our Story

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!

Fresh, flavorful, and perfect for summer, our Lemon Pepper-Encrusted Cod is a guest favorite. We start with a center-cut cod loin, season it with lemon pepper, top it with crisp garlic breadcrumbs, and finish it with a delicate lemon white wine sauce.
