Haley was my server last night. She was amazing and one reason I will be returning. While I was waiting for my friend I was watching a show on my phone and instantly made a friendly connection and that friendliness did not leave her at all. 10/10 server.

Great local spot, where else can you eat good food, have a drink, watch a live band play and watch an airplane land all at one time lol. Very cool place with great vibes.

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.

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.
