Frommer's Review
On the northern perimeter of downtown Myrtle Beach, this is the most formal and classic restaurant along the Grand Strand, an area that is slowly becoming better known for classy food joints. Evoking a library, its walls are lined with old and new volumes which give the impression of genteel stability. Tables are covered in crisp white linens, a worthy setting for service rituals that focus on showy preparations on rolling trolleys. Serving dinner only, the Library is not particularly innovative in its array of seafood, duck, beef, chicken, and veal dishes, but only first-class ingredients are used. Start perhaps with such appetizers as soft-shell crabs or artichoke hearts, going on to a delightful version of Dover sole in champagne and almond sauce. Steak Diane, flambéed at tableside, is delicious.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
