   Always blown away at the first class experience this restaurant offers being in a small strip mall. Walk through the door and you're in 1950's New York. Great foot. Great staff.

   A unique and immensely satisfying dining experience where the ambiance is truly reflective of a bygone, but not forgotten, period. The culinary greatness of this restaurant makings dining in this place invigorating and gastronomically a delight. The food is beautifully prepared and tantalizing, a marvelous experience for any patron. The service is attentive but not overwhelming. This is a rare treat for any diner, and for the price, a bargain.

   We love coming here! The food is always good and we appreciate the menu is always changing. They also made my husbands birthday so special by having a little sign on the table!

   Unexpected restaurant, it’s beautifully decorated inside, that you forget that you are in a small shopping center. Wow! The owner did a fantastic job transforming this small place into something special. The food was very well cooked, delicious, no over the top hype or fan fare. This is a genuinely good food, with good service, and the drinks were a plus. The manner in which everything is put together provides a welcoming and memorable experience. I highly recommended this place, and would like to thank them for the a wonderful evening. We will be back here again.

   We booked for lunch and the food was excellent. Good service although when it got busy the only waitress seemed somewhat stretched. Priced very well and I will certainly return.

   Our first visit to Speakeasy/Boardroom. Unique and welcoming interior (ignore the funky exterior!). Service was excellent. Good wine list. Food was just OK...the paella was overdone and the fish wa dry. We'll try once again and see if it was just last night! For the cost, I would expect more.

   The restaurant is located in a strip mall which looks a little dingy. But don’t let that distract you. As soon as you step in you are transported into a fine establishment which oozes the spirit (and spirits) of 50 years ago. And that is a good thing. My food was very good. Unfortunately they overcooked the steaks of two of my friends, but were quick to fix the error. The price of the food was reasonable. Will definitely dine here again.

    Great experience. Hostess - waitress fantastic. Suggest that the Speakeasy should always be available for people who have dinner reservations. Kind of ruined the experience given the happy hour crowd blocked the access for people showing up before the dinner reservations.
