I always get the mini burger, my husband gets the super duper burger, and my son gets a mini burger and adds bacon. The shakes are also delicious. They have a special flavor that changes on a regular basis. Today's flavor was cookie butter. It was a bit on the sweet side, but I still finished it. Last month they had peppermint and it's been one of my faves so far. Service is prompt and friendly. You can order with a staff member or order from a screen. There are two gender neutral bathrooms. Parking is out front in spacious lot. The dining area is spacious and there are lots of table configurations to choose from. On a nice day, sit outside and enjoy the sun and water fountain.

My wife and I had the occasion to stop by The Speakeasy a few days ago. We were just looking to…read morehave kind of hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and just hang out together, because we found ourselves with a rare four-hour window where the kids were occupied and we could just do whatever we wanted. This was a nice way to spend a few hours. The space is neat. It's as small, somewhat dark ambiance with the windows blacked out. So, you do loose your sense of time a bit inside. That's actually nice as it feels like you went somewhere/somewhen else for a while. We had a Manhattan and a Kentucky Mule, and, additionally, we had three different shareable appetizers. First thought, we ordered and devoured a really exceptional cheese plate. I know cheese plates seem a little meh sometimes, but this was really good! I would absolutely order it again. In fact, I would definitely go there just to have the cheese plate again with a drink, a glass of wine. We also had the three tacos shareable. There were three tacos that were stunningly good. Lastly a dish with some little steak medallions and a shrimp. Each of these was about two bites and the flavor and texture was excellent. All three of the shareables and the drinks were exceptional. I have to call out that, with the cheese board, came a little loaf of bread. That bread was really good all on its own. I would definitely want to eat it. I can still taste it. It was really good, but my wife, she's gluten intolerant. They offered, because she couldn't eat the bread, they offered to also bring her out some gluten-free crackers, so she got to enjoy the cheese board just the same without the bread. They gave her the crackers, and do you know, they just gave her those extra. They didn't ask for something more. They didn't do anything. They just took care of her. I really appreciate that. I have to also give a shout out to the Jessica. I don't know how she did it, but she was taking care of the whole room of tables I think. Nice. We ordred all three shareables at the same time and she thoughtfully said, 'do you mind if I course these out for you?' We said yes and she did. I don't think anybody felt like they didn't have everything they needed, so a shout out to you, Jessica, really well done. We're grateful for the service and the high quality dining experience that you gave us on a moment's notice. I hope we can visit again soon. And, especially we want to check out The Boardroom soon. NOTE: This is in a kind of older looking strip mall. Don't be concerned about that at all! It threw us off a little at first and we did wonder when we pulled in though if we were in the right place. Happily, we were!

Attached to The Boardroom restaurant, The Speakeasy is a real find featuring a wonderfully robust appetizer menu, a full bar, and a daily happy hour menu that applies mostly to alcohol purchases. If you're looking for wine here, the bar offers a variety, with the house wines - excellently priced at $8-$9/glass - comprised fully of Rutherford grown grapes. Somebody here knows what's up. A friend who'd talked up The Speakeasy for years is besotted by the Marsala Sautéed Chicken Livers ($11) on the bar menu. Not ever a fan of liver, I avoided sampling his until we'd collectively polished off an order of Baked Goat Cheese ($10) and a trio of Pulled Pork Tacos ($13). He'd grown full and much liver remained which is when I learned that I do like chicken liver. Or rather, I like chicken liver as prepared at The Speakeasy. All of the above pretty much had me fan-girling out over this place but then this happened: We were done, requested our check, and were told that someone that evening had picked up the tab for the entire bar, something I've not experienced in my lifetime. I already liked The Speakeasy a whole lot before learning my food and drink were free of charge. Like changed to rabid fandom when this occurred. I know that I can't expect a full repeat of this experience but even if it's just chicken livers and Cabernet, that'll be enough.

I chose the Lamb Papardelle, which was earthy and savory with gloriously wide noodles. My companions had the grilled salmon and rigatoni. Jessica, the adjacent Speakeasy restaurant manager, made my custom cake. It was amazing. She made a gluten-free, fluffy chocolate cake with fresh raspberries between the layers--slightly sweet and tangy. Soooo delicious. She added red roses to match the roses on the tables. And they honor your celebration of birthdays and anniversaries with an adorable (Scrabble) sign on your table. And those exciting candles...feel free to check out the lovely photos. What an absolutely delightful memory we made for my birthday. The service is always accessible, attentive, welcoming, and friendly. It's a cozy space, so be sure to make reservations. The ambience is so elegant--at any point, you expect a member of the Rat Pack or some performer to be dining there. They have excellent live piano music I believe on Fridays and Saturdays.

Food was decent but the emphasis was on meaty dishes, and I'm more of a fish and veggies gal. This normally would mean I'd order the eggplant parmigiana, but I went for the salmon, and it was okay... Decor is very TJ Maxx adjacent with lots of Sinatra velvet paintings. Would come back for martinis.

Recently, I got a tip from a fellow Yelp Elite, Net A., that the grilled cheese sandwich here is "goooeylicious." I must try it! Using the Local Kitchen's App, I ordered the Three Cheese Classic. I always pick up my own food, so my grilled cheese sandwich was hot and fresh. The sandwich was very good. The crunchy toast was buttery, but not greasy. The three cheeses were melted and gooey. The menu says they use sharp cheddar, muenster and fontina cheeses. All combined and melted to create a delicious comfort food.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays and set the tone for a festive staff party. I *will* return so I can take in the ambiance a little better since both times I headed straight to the back room where my co-workers were. The LONG tables are not as conducive for us social ones but it is what it is! (lol) My group of 23 had the best service by just one server (Josh??) who never once seemed harried. (There were a couple food runners too!) NOTE: One check, one credit card. Be prepared with cash or venmo-ing someone after. :) I think we ordered pretty much everything on the menu and though I cannot speak for the group, the general consensus was everyone really enjoyed their dinners. The ONLY note that stuck in my head was the pot roast orderers wished there was more gravy. Personally, I had the Grilled Chicken BLTA without mayo and when it arrived, I was worried it was going to be dry because of how "big" the bun. I was wrong! The soft bun + juicy chicken + fresh veggies = a perfectly balanced sandwich. (Don't get me wrong, a good sauce can make it even better...I just don't like mayo.) It came with house-made chips and they were tasty, but maybe not something I'd choose next time. UNLESS it came with a caramelized onion dip (homage to the classic dip for chips) to elevate the fried potatoes. Overall, very happy to recommend Perry's and to return when in the area.

I love the dressing on the salad and the crunch from the peanuts and crispy wontons is so good! The chili lime chicken has a nice tangy flavor and the veggies all give a nice, herby flavor.
