She smiled and shared many laughs with us. She was very knowledgeable about the place, background, food and drinks. I love love love that it's nonsmoking!! They are family friendly so next time we will bring our little ones. I'm not sure which days are what or when but they have a dj, karaoke, and line dancing. On each table they have a game you can play like scramble, tic tac toe, etc... Food and drinks were good. We had pizza and nachos. Nachos were smaller than expected. Definitely not shareable lol.. anyway nothing to really brag about there but the prices are pretty decent. I enjoyed myself so much talking with Keri and my husbae and playing games, that I kept forgetting to take pictures. I have a few to share. Come on out for date night, girls/guy night out or bring the whole crew out! I definitely recommend this place. And if you see Keri tell her I sent you!

I paid $14 for a Long Island and it was really just okay. The bartenders are kind.

This is the kind of place you go when you wanna have a conversation and have a good drink. Did you know that it's owned by Luke oil?

I so enjoyed the scallops appetizer as my entree. Perfectly cooked & seasoned & served w roasted garlic cloves & a luscious sauce. A lot of surprises & all of them reasons to return.

I have been wanting to go to this place for months because of the reviews and pictures I've seen, I…read morereally, really wanted to love it because of its uniqueness and level of quality, from what I heard. Unfortunately, when a place is this level of hype and price, the first trip means a ton and the expectations are high. The good: - awesome atmosphere, deck is great, and overlooks the lake. Couldn't be a better spot to dine out. - service was good, even though they were busy they didn't have us wait a while for anything. -scallops were excellent, perfect sear on them. The reason for the low review: - Beef Wellington.... It's rare to find and we heard so many people comment that's why they were they, including us. It says 10 oz filet, it was not tonight. It was some 3 sliced cut beef that was well well done. Despite being told it would be medium rare. - Seasoning. Nothing had salt or pepper. Everything had garlic. And by garlic I mean huge cloves of it. Both the scallops and filet had cloves of garlic all over. The filet was cooked great, but I didn't have any juice from the steak and the flavor was blown out by the garlic. Just refer to a majority of my reviews, more than willing to pay a premium price for an awesome dining experience, but the food is first and foremost important. Maybe we got them on a bad night, but unfortunately that was our experience. Edited to add pictures to review from 05June.

The wholesale delivery service does have wild-caught salmon for a minimal increase in cost. Like most of the wait staff in Valparaiso, attention (eye contact) is cursory and superficial, which shows that the customers are to be sold but not really appreciated as their sole income source. Eg: Dirty fork with dirty dishes between courses: "Do you want to keep that fork?" We realize that it is Indiana, but take a ride over to Gambas for some service training. It really is not about the wait staff.

The place is pleasantly dim inside, and classy but casual. The bartender was friendly and efficient and didn't chat a whole lot, which I appreciated. I just wanted a glass of red wine, and I found that here. They have a whole page of their menu dedicated to wine. They also have cocktails and beer and things, but that wasn't on my radar. I didn't try any of the food, but they do have some. The thing about this place is that it's good for families and also for couples wanting an intimate night out, and also a lady by herself wanting a drink at the bar. It's all encompassing!

Having a private room made the evening feel so special, and the team was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They were attentive to our dietary needs and worked with us to make sure everyone had delicious options and felt included. We also had some trouble connecting to the room's speaker to play our music, and the staff was so patient and determined to help. They took the time to troubleshoot the issue with us until everything was working because they genuinely wanted us to have the best night celebrating my sister. That extra level of care and hospitality meant so much and made the evening even more memorable. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone planning a private event or celebration. Thank you for helping make my sister's bachelorette dinner so special!

The groom and I barely had to think about anything going on behind the scenes, which allowed us to simply enjoy the night and spend time with our guests. We truly could not be happier with how our reception turned out. Having the food, bar, and hotel all right on the property was also incredibly convenient for us and our guests. We cannot thank Sandy and the staff enough for running such a wonderful reception hall and helping make our wedding day so special. We would absolutely recommend the Speakeasy to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Website does not make it clear! I want to preface, I had frequented the Spa restaurant in the 1970-1990's. The ambiance and history of the place made it so charming, along w the raccoon show! I am thrilled someone is keeping the speakeasy alive! So many wonderful memories!! With that said, I don't live " down the street" so to speak. We come out on Sunday's to hike the nearby trails or use the beaches. With the area now designated as a National Lakeshore, it would be to this establishments benefit to open from 11 am /12pm on Saturday & Sunday! If I knew they would be open, I'd love to stop in after spending time at the National Park! You're losing business to Wagner's!

I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group. However, when my drink was empty, the server took orders of the people sitting next to me at my table and then walked away without asking me if I wanted anything. I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing. Overall, it just felt like the servers weren't very attentive, but the drinks were good and the people that had food liked it so I would come back!
