Samantha was an incredible waitress. From the moment we were seated, Samantha took care of our every need. She was attentive, knowledgable about the menu, and made every effort to make our visit here memorable.
We were also attended to by Andrew who was so kind. He made an extra effort to make sure we had a special time here. This is our first time dining at The Alchemist Garden and our first time in Paso Robles. When we return, we will absolutely come back.
If you appreciate impeccable service, delicious and unique food/drinks, and a variety of food options for all dietary restrictions, look no further than the Alchemist Garden, and ask for Samantha and Andrew at the door!

Amazing spot with divine tiger prawns and light, crunchy croquette balls! Definitely try them out on your next visit to Paso. You won't be disappointed. Me and my friend stopped in here last night for a quick bite, some wine and beer after the Rod Stewart concert. Special thanks to the chef for accommodating us even though they were about to close, and thanks to our server, Keelie, for the great service. Truly a memorable dining experience! Still thinking about those prawns... Bravo!

Andrew the owner is an absolute delight. He was the highlight of our Paso trip celebrating my husband’s birthday. Shared glorious rum and delightful conversation with us in his lovely restaurant. We’ve been here before and it will continue to be our go to restaurant and bar in Paso. We come up here from Santa Barbara for wine tasting and Alchemy. Memorable and a must do!!

Lunch date with the wifie. The place has a modern look but doesn’t feel stiff or overdone. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit and talk without feeling rushed. The menu had a good mix of familiar and interesting, and nothing felt like it was trying too hard to impress.
I ordered the seasonal veggie plate and it really caught me off guard. The flavors were layered in a way that made you pay attention, and I found myself slowing down between bites without meaning to. It wasn’t overly fancy or showy, just thoughtful and well put together. Price felt fair for what we got, and it was one of those meals you talk about later without even trying.

Drinks are good but there is literally very little choices for food, didn’t feel like it’s worth waiting for 40 mins without reservation n to realize we should have checked menu before

Jessica, our waitress, was fantastic. Super attentive, friendly, and just great with people. Honestly, she deserves 5 stars all on her own.
The food, though, was hit or miss. The pork chop was massive, but the flavor didn’t match the portion—could’ve used more seasoning to really stand out. The halibut was nicely done, but the wild rice it came with was a letdown. The deviled eggs with curry weren’t really for me (kind of tasted like cold leftovers), though others at the table enjoyed them.
On the bright side, the fry wedges with all the aiolis were amazing, and the cocktails were definitely the highlight. The presentation was beautiful, and the drink itself was just as good as it looked.
Overall, the service and drinks really shined, while the food left me wishing for a bit more flavor.

Refreshing Alchemist salad with frisée watermelon and papaya. Good offset to a very turmeric strong deviled egg. Excellent service

Can I give this place 6 stars? This place is unbelievably delicious! Can’t wait to be back in PR to grab a cocktail and meal here again!!!!!!!
Good spot to imbibe exotics while overlooking the town square. The food was generally good (the flank steak was terrific), but you're going to pay handsomely.

Very unique dining experience. Very high-end bar with world-class bartenders. They have great seasonal cocktails and the bartenders can make nearly anything you would ask for. Their food is incredible and unique. Overall the restaurant holds to its name. The combination of flavors from food and drink really feels like Alchemy.

Stopped in for drinks. Great mixology cocktails. They also have some tasty NA options. Bartenders are super friendly and great to pick their brains on for drinks. The vibe of the bar is very cool with fun decor. Would go back!
