  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!).

  I was kind of worried that I wouldn't find a place in Salina that I absolutely loved.  I had tried a few places and hadn't seen that place that really excelled in restaurant service.  When my friend reccomended we try the Speakeasy, I was skeptical.  The night before involved a bit of alcohol, and although I wasn't suffering the hangover, I was suffering the sluggish aftereffects.  (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.  The first thing I noticed before opening the double doors to the restaurant was the smell.  It was the smell of food, not just any food, but APPETIZING food.  We seated ourselves and were quickly helped by a server (I think her name was Sara).  She got our drinks and we ordered some wings and a sandwich.
  The wings were great!  They had an excellent buffalo flavor and a slight vinegar kick to them.  Even better, for .25 a wing it competes or beats the flavor of Buffalo Wild wings and Pizza Hut.  
  The sandwiches were good as well.  My buddy had the BLT with sweet potato fries which he loved so much he had me try them.  While not a sweet potato fan, I will tell you they tasted good.  I had the Capone with Italian meats on it.  Although it was slightly soggy, it was still very good.  (The sog came from the abundance of italian dressings and pickled peppers).  
  What really impressed me about this place is the service.  Our server never let our glasses get low and when she wasn't there another server would come and check on our table.  The server made it personal by coming by and chatting with us in the mean time and had a great sense of humor.  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.
