from Google & Yelp"I attended a wine tasting event with a group here, and it was a lovely networking experience that I'd highly recommend. We were all seated in their private room upstairs and were each served small pours of 4 different wines along with appetizers in a span of 2 hours. I really loved the first wine the best - an orange wine from France - Cancan Brute Nature Orange. What's great about these events is that you can order bottles of the wine featured at great prices - my favorite was only $15. For each "round," we were served, Johnny spoke to us about the wine, and then we chatted and enjoyed for a few minutes before the next course and wine arrived. it was a great was to spend some time with people you may not know very well, but it would also be fun with friends or family. I was very impressed with Johnny's knowledge, and he was an engaging presenter. I loved learning about biodynamic wine, specific varietals, and the Mediterranean region, which was featured for this event. I'd make it a point to return, especially to buy wine. The food was good - I particularly remember the gruyere cheese dip and the focaccia being really good. Everything was decent but not super memorable or inventive. Just yummy basic snacks and good wine. Overall, a very nice event."
"I want to give it five stars so badly but there are some disability issues they need to fix. I hope to get in contact with them to let them know some recommendations. It is possible and can have a great time but with work. Ok to the good part. The food. The food. Is absolutely amazing. The salmon kept talking to me on the menu to the point I had to get it. Whichever salmon I ate, they are in rainbow heaven proud to have gone out in such style and grace and to be able to swim in that delicious sauce. Oh with doggy bags can you put the sauce in it? We were disappointed when we opened our doggy bags and there was no sauce. The other two dishes... O. M. G. The bread for every dish is fresh and the display and artistry is perfect for parties, dates, get together, especially if you are trying to impress for a meeting. They have very clean bathrooms but no hand rails which is one of the issues especially if someone with a disability want to go by themselves or don't want assistance. I have to go back because there is so much to see and the display of food, experience as a whole is spectacular. Thank you Mike for walking us down and the great talk. I hope to see your artwork. I meant what I said."
"It had been a while since my husband and I had patronized the Speakeasy as we normally just stop in upstairs for drinks. We stopped in last Friday for end of the weeks drinks and ended up ordering dinner. He ordered the Lobster bisque, which is usually my go to starter at any restaurant and upon arrival I regretted not getting it. It was tick and creamy with a decent size chunk of lobster. I order the Shrimp & Pad Thai and he had Surf and Turf. I loved the acidity of the noodles innthe Pad Thai. I only wish it had a little more sauce as the noodles tend to soak it up. My husband was pleased with his steak so much that he didn't eat his lobster first, which he always does."
"all the drinks are on the sweeter side for me but very good. the smoked old fashioned, manhattan, and both gin drinks were tasty. presentation was the best in royal oak. i don’t know if we felt welcomed by the staff/owner - not sure why but maybe because we were there two hours before close? everyone was still polite. overall, i had a good time and liked johnny’s. going again soon to also experience the food."
