    I almost ate at Alchemi Main Street RO I was there and ordered two dishes: crab cakes and tuna carpaccio both inedible...actually had a fruit fly on one of the cakes as I tried to determine if there was any crab but nope lukewarm filler, the tuna was tasteless and warm...UGH...so disgusted I just left with my guest paid an 80.00 tab (we did have 2 martinis 1 was delivered incorrectly) and went to Clawson Steak House never a problem there...knew better when we walked in to Alchemi @ 7:30 Saturday night and only 1 other table....DO NOT EAT THERE...server clueless, kitchen doors wide open to the dining room, person preparing orders for delivery to the dining room (expo) handling ready to eat food without gloves..Gross, Exec Chef sitting @ the bar drinking and having a great time with the bartender

    We did early, so the restaurant was relatively empty. Our server was pleasant and prompt. The presentation of her drinks was really good. However, the drinks themselves were nothing special. My wife liked the crabcakes, but I thought the frying made them a little heavy, but they did taste good. We split the paella which my wife chose and liked. I thought it was just OK.

    Understaffed. Took 35 minutes to get a cocktail. Another 30 minutes for the food. Then that was room temperature. Total disappointment for our date night.

    My experience was excellent. I had made reservations for two because I had went to a performance with my mom then did dinner after the show the food there was divine. I had the shredded lamb. Ragu and my mother had their salad salad with salmon and both dishes were excellent.

    We had stellar service with a check-in from both the kitchen staff and manager, and the food was delicious and beautifully prepared! We will be back and have already recommended it to our friends and family.

    Everything was excellent with the exception of the music being played. Music should serve softly in the background. This place made it sound like a disco.

FAQs

Yes, Alchemi's chic, speakeasy-style vibe, creative cocktails and multiple positive anniversary and date-night mentions make it a lovely choice for a special evening.

Guests report satisfying, filling portions, small plates such as the Thai Street Ribs and mains like the Wagyu Beef Strudel are described as quite filling.

Alchemi fills in during prime dinner hours, guests report it can be nearly empty early (around opening) but packed by an hour later, so many recommend reservations; earlier seatings and the upstairs/ground-level/back rooms feel noticeably quieter.

Smart casual is the guide at Alchemi, polished but relaxed, and many guests note people dress up a touch for anniversaries and special occasions.

Alchemi mixes a chic, modern speakeasy vibe with a farm-to-table bistro feel, artistic decor, creative cocktails, and a warm, intimate setting; the downstairs speakeasy is livelier while the main upstairs/ground-level dining can feel quieter and more intimate.

Sunday brunch (10:30 to 2 pm) is a popular choice, guests praise the Sunday brunch and say they’ll be back as regulars.

You can dine in the main dining room (front room or a quieter back room), grab a seat at the bar, enjoy the outdoor patio, or head downstairs to the speakeasy.

Yes, reviewers have brought family; one guest celebrated Mother’s Day with their daughter and praised the warm, friendly service and thoughtfully prepared menu, so families can expect a welcoming experience.
