Staying at the Mimslyn Inn it was an easy, convenient choice for dinner. There is a very pleasant pub atmosphere. The service was exceptionally friendly and prompt. The food was above average for the type of place. Fish and chips were fresh and moist. Platter of mussels were, again, fresh and delicately prepared. Homemade apple pie and bourbon ice cream... More

we recently stopped in the Speakeasy for dinner last week and I just wanted to review the great service we received. The restaurant was busy so we grabbed the last 2 seats at the bar. We were greeted by a young man (Tony I believe) who told us Casi would be with us in a moment. We realized she was... More

Ok food, Ok service, Ok ambience. We didn't have many options in Luray on a Sunday evening and chose to eat at the Speakeasy Bar as we were staying at the Inn. We ordered fairly standard fair (caesar salad, steak sandwich, apple pie)...it was all okay, at best. The apple pie tasted like a frozen pie that had been warmed... More

The food was ok for the price. The place is very nicely decorated for being in the basement of the hotel.

Ok. So let's break this review into two separate parts; food and drink. Food: I had read some of the previous reviews concerning the food coming from the kitchen of the Speakeasy. I will admit I was apprehensive, and to my relief, I found the negative reviews to be mistaken. I enjoyed my prime rib, correctly cooked to medium rare,... More

This place has great food and a relaxed atmosphere. Good wine list and full bar. The Jager Schnitzel is particularly good, and the onion/garlic dip with chips is really worth the sacrifice of giving up the "I'll never eat potato chips again" pledge for at least one day.

We had the special of the night and it was wonderful! There was a wait to get a seat as the restaurant is in the basement and not very big but I was very pleased with the quality of the food.

The food was pricey for what it was, and not that great. You could skip this experience. The live music on Thursday night was pretty good though- acoustic covers were nice to hear.

We stayed in the Mimslyn Inn and the lovely Circa 31 restaurant was closed (off season, they only open for dinner on weekends) so we ventured downstairs to the Speakeasy and were glad we did. The food is typical bar fare. We got fish and chips and our meal of plentyful and reasonably priced. There was live acoustic music which... More
