   Saturday DJ was super loud. Gave more of a club than lounge ambience. Otherwise, this is a really cool place.

   An Unforgettable Date Night Experience! This place is an absolute gem for a romantic date night! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant yet intimate, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening. The service was nothing short of exceptional—attentive, warm, and truly dedicated to making our experience special. I first heard about this spot from a friend, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the recommendation. If you’re looking for a place that effortlessly blends romance, elegance, and top-tier hospitality, look no further. To make the night even more magical, I requested something special for my partner’s birthday, and they went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. The thoughtful touches, personalized attention, and sheer effort they put into making the moment memorable truly set them apart. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to create beautiful memories with their loved one. Can’t wait to return!

   I am deeply upset by my experience at Alchemy. The waitress treated me with such disrespect it felt personal. I had booked a reservation and was expecting a dining table in order to eat dinner, but was instead sat on a couch in front of a knee-level coffee table. When asking the waitress if I were to get a pasta bowl what the idea was, or if we could be moved to a table in order to eat she was extremely extremely rude. She said "it's just like any other restaurant," in an extremely rude and condescending tone. This isn't true. Never have I been expected to hold a bowl on my lap in a fine dining experience. Absolutely ridiculous. When responding to my request to move tables to eat she said "if you would prefer" while scowling at me and giving me tone like a teenager. Abhorrent service, no respect or customer service at all. I am floored by the level of disrespect and attitude for polite questions about the menu and inappropriate seating for dining. We left after our first round of drinks and will never return. Basic human decency is the bare minimum, and this place is extremely lacking. Boo. If I could give negative stars, I would.

   It was a fantastic experience, the cute hideaway in the hotel was a surprise, the noise levels were very energetic and loud, the service was quick and efficient but the prices were very expensive. Starting at $20 up for drinks

   Food, service, decor, location was very good. Before being seated, the hostess must take a picture of you and scan your ID. I find this very intrusive and where I eat has no need for the private information on my drivers license. We were going to the hockey game and if there was time to go somewhere else and make it back for the game, I would have left. Although the restaurant itself was very good, this before I can be seated policy will prevent a return visit.

   Was excited to visit Alchemy for date night. Now been there done that. Won’t be back. The NOISE level from DJ was so loud could not hear the waitress to order second round nor talk to our guests we brought. Neat concept. Look of the place interesting. Drinks small and pricey but expected that. But the choice of music and loudness was disappointing. Nice light jazz would have fit the night better. Sorry won’t be back. Safe your money and ears and find another bar.

    Food highly overpriced for the amount you get. Appetizer $22 for 1 piece of toast and a couple of pieces of salami and cheese.
