Like the illicit nightclubs of the Roaring '20s, Sewickley SpeakEasy is hidden from view -- but you don't have to know a secret knock to dine here. The restaurant, opened in the former home of Haysville's founder, is perched on a wooded hilltop, given away only by the beckoning woman on the sign and a roadside mural of 1920s scenes. The flapper era continues inside; check out the wall covered with sheet music for tunes such as 'Brown Eyes, Why Are You Blue?'. Seafood and steaks are the specialty here, but don't hesitate to branch out. Especially good are the crispy deboned duck a l'orange, pasta scoglio tossed with seafood, and lightly breaded chicken Zurich topped with onion rings, Swiss cheese, bordelaise and lemon-butter cream sauce. The wine list offers about 100 half-bottles and more than 500 choices in all. On cool nights, the restaurant's working fireplaces should keep things cozy. What are you waiting for? Gas up the old jalopy and check out this swell joint.
