The place is a lot bigger than I had expected from an outside view. I sat outside with friends and enjoyed an orange Julius that was just alcoholic enough to give me that warm fuzzy feeling. There's plenty of tables and seating out side and a string of outdoor lights that give it that nice calm atmosphere. Inside I noticed lots of seating, pool table, and even a fire place (which I guess is never turned on - darn!).
Review Source:I was kind of worried that I wouldn't find a place in Salina that I absolutely loved. Â I had tried a few places and hadn't seen that place that really excelled in restaurant service. Â When my friend reccomended we try the Speakeasy, I was skeptical. Â The night before involved a bit of alcohol, and although I wasn't suffering the hangover, I was suffering the sluggish aftereffects. Â (To tell the truth I threatened my buddies life if this place was anywhere near my fears of what it could be).
We entered and my fears were instantly dismissed. Â The first thing I noticed before opening the double doors to the restaurant was the smell. Â It was the smell of food, not just any food, but APPETIZING food. Â We seated ourselves and were quickly helped by a server (I think her name was Sara). Â She got our drinks and we ordered some wings and a sandwich.
The wings were great! Â They had an excellent buffalo flavor and a slight vinegar kick to them. Â Even better, for .25 a wing it competes or beats the flavor of Buffalo Wild wings and Pizza Hut. Â
The sandwiches were good as well. Â My buddy had the BLT with sweet potato fries which he loved so much he had me try them. Â While not a sweet potato fan, I will tell you they tasted good. Â I had the Capone with Italian meats on it. Â Although it was slightly soggy, it was still very good. Â (The sog came from the abundance of italian dressings and pickled peppers). Â
What really impressed me about this place is the service. Â Our server never let our glasses get low and when she wasn't there another server would come and check on our table. Â The server made it personal by coming by and chatting with us in the mean time and had a great sense of humor. Â I felt that I've found a place in Salina I could go and feel like I would get great service that doesn't lack in food quality either.
If asked if I would ever go back, I would answer without hesitation, yes.
