Such a great experience at The Alchemist! Not only was it such a beautiful atmosphere, the food was great and the staff is attentive and friendly. Chef Joe was so nice and his new food menu was amazing. We tried almost everything and genuinely didn’t have a single bad thing. I don’t even like fish and LOVED the tuna tartare, and the shrimp tacos. Even just the bread with oil and olives and the chicken tenders and fries were amazing!

This place gives off a relaxed and elevated atmosphere. The quiet ambiance made it feel private. I appreciated the variety of finger foods, but the upscale options also provided a great pairing with cocktails. I personally enjoyed the charcuterie board and the shrimp cocktail. It was cool that the bartender and the new chef came out and they were very personable, but not in a way that was hovering or annoying.
