“Wonderful place to enjoy a glass (or two) of wine!“

“Great bourbon. The drink and bartender Rochelle was outstanding. Also you can buy bourbon here!! Win win!“

“The Alchemist is quite simply fantastic. I can’t think of anyplace where you can get better seafood. So many cocktail bars offer drinks with great names but with no pizzazz when it come to the taste. All of The Alchemist’s cocktails have pizzazz, and if you don’t see something you want, have the bartender mix something up for you on the spot!“

“The food and service was excellent! Easily one of our favorite restaurants! We definitely will be back soon!“

“The Fortunes in South Elgin is really a friendly place. The staff is a lot of fun. Everyone seems to know each other there. It’s very clean. It’s got good drink specials and free snacks and soda and water. I think it’s the best place in South Elgin to play, and there are quite a few all around this area.“

“Love this spot. Great food, coffee and atmosphere.“

“Truly amazing family owned and operated restaurant. Stopped in to get brunch and they have a nice small menu but plenty of food options for everyone. Opted to go with the Santa Fe skillet and a michelada, skillet was really good and hearty with a good portion of food. The michelada was top notch I think it has to be the best one I’ve had. They do open for dinner as well but have yet to make it, it is under new ownership and the restaurant has been remodeled and upgraded and it looks fantastic. Will be going back to try more items in their menu, would recommend it!“
