   To be fair, it was a Monday evening on a chilly, blustery day so there was only one other occupied table besides us, making fir a very quiet atmosphere. We hadn't been to Alchemy in years, and I'm glad we came back. The service was just right, the dishes perfectly executed and we had an altogether pleasant evening. The Dungeness and bacon Alfredo was amazing! Definitely recommend as a cozy, intimate place, especially in the winter off-season.

   It is a very cozy restaurant. The service was great and the food is delicious and more like home cooking. Great martini from the bar!

   Walking into the restaurant one feels a sence of understated elegance and comfort. From the music to the excellent service the experience is delightful. One time we went into the restaurant and requested a table, know knowing it wasn’t open yet, the waitress checked with the kitchen and they opened for us. We keep going back especially for important occasions.

   Alchemy is a nice blend of refined atmosphere and nicely executed food at a reasonable price. My wife had the dungeness crab pasta and I had the lamb bourgiugnon. Both were excellent. The pasta was thin, light, and perfectly cooked. The lamb was "fall off the bone" tender and nicely seasoned, and the flavor combination of the bourgiugnon sauce and polenta was a nice surprise. For wine we indicated we wanted a lighter red and the waitress immediately suggested a very reasonably priced Pinot Noir that was quite good. The atmosphere was very comfortable and refined, not at all noisy, but not so quiet that you felt uncomfortable. It's not Finestere, but it's not Finestere prices, either. This is just a good restaurant serving nicely executed food with a mature and refined atmosphere.

   This was our first time dining at the Alchemy Bistro Wine and Bar and we found it to be a charming restaurant with a lot of character. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. An excellent choice for date night.

   I’ll start by saying the hostess is lovely and very helpful, the place is awesome along with the food— been there many of time. The waiter was absolutely atrocious and rude. Did not come over once while we were eating or check in on us just kept walking by and looking at us. Another waiter who was wonderful assisted us even though it wasn’t his table. I asked for the manager at the end and I was met with a waitress who was terrified and extremely apologetic about this waiter but her reasonings of why he acted the way he did were just unacceptable. We paid our bill we did not want a free meal or drink or such and she kept insisting on “making it right” — which I cannot fault her for but if the waiter had been more trained to the job it would’ve been 5 stars.
