Very enjoyable restaurant.
Stopped by for a glass or two of delicious local wine. Didn't eat really. Did have appetizers. Brie and Calimari. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the early evening.

Cozy spot for a cold day of wine tasting. They make a great espresso martini.

Came from out of town to try from a friends reference. Came in and hostess was chatting with a table then came and sat us. We asked for a table for our large group and she asked her manager if we could sit in one spot and was told no. Yet another group came in and were seated in that table. Our waitress was crying when she came by and took half our drink order and left. We could see her raging in the kitchen about something. About 15 min later she brought our drinks and then disappeared again.
Food was good but service was horrible. Saw people walking and look for the hostess that was too busy chatting with people that they left. We won’t be back.

We came in on the weekend 2024-11-30, and as we were parking, we saw a group of about 12 people go in, so we followed. We got in at 12:55 and sat down at 1:00 PM. There was no service for 25 minutes, so we left. We went up the street to another spot, where we were served and ate. When we passed by again at 1:50 PM after eating, we noticed that the group of 12 had only received drinks and no food, and another group that came in after us still only had water.
We would most likely never go there again due to not being served in a timely manner.

Had the blackened salmon and it was too salty as were the fries. Strangely the Mac n cheese was undersalted, but delicious. It is a bit pricey especially since it's overseasoned. Enjoyed the watermelon mojita.

This restaurant has gone down in quality. Burger was dry and tasted previously frozen, risotto was cold and the well known meat loaf was burnt. Gave 2 stars incase it’s just an off night but it was a bummer because our previous experience would have been 5 star.
I really wanted to love this restaurant but unfortunately the food was just not that good. Simply put the prices are too high for the quality of food I received. The dishes rely to heavily on a lot of butter/fat and way too much sub-par sauce. Unfortunately I will not be retuning.

I had a great experience at Alchemy! My first here I'll definitely come back for more. I had the "best steak ever" here. Much thanks to the Chef. ???

There are few restaurant in Murphys so we thought that good reviews would lead to a good experience, we were wrong.
$40 for a fish dish, $20 for a salad, $28 for a polenta… what is this place?
The portions are ridiculous and the price prevents any appetizer on top of a main dish (or you’ll be at $100+ for 2)
The food isn’t even very tasty, good but not extraordinary.
Service was good and fast, but offering a salad without bread is still weird to me. Or having uncomfortable outdoor chairs? Why?
Dessert was bigger portion than a main dish, but quite horrible, it looked like they shopped all the worst ingredients at Safeway and put it together, overly sweet, no taste.

The fried chicken is delicious! It is a bit of a riff on Nashville hot chicken with an Asian touch. The peach salad was less than perfect. The peaches were grilled and then chilled. Grilled peaches, in my mind and experience, are hot and softened. These were hard and cold.
The bread with corn and green onions was a nice change from regular sliced bread.

Calamari was salty. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes were good. The book choy was very bitter though

The white mac & cheese was very good, The peanut butter chocolate cake is definitely share size. Its good and very rich. This was our first time here and we really enjoyed our visit. Prices were reasonable and parking was very easy to find.
