the alchemist

brilliant! go lucy

i visited for my end of exam meal! lucy was extremely helpful and very nice to chat to!the food was fanatic and thedrinksamazing! let’s get lucy that bottle of wine!!!

dim lighting throughout coupled with lots of old apothecary props gives this a really smart and intriguing atmosphere. busy poular place gives it a good bustling but relaxed atmosphere. bottle of wine served up in a chiller of dry ice was a fun unexpected touch. as was the rolled up bill in a wee medicine bottle anddrinksserved in smoking copper kettles. food was good too as was the service. top evening and good find after trawling round various eateries.

had been here with friends for dinner. good music gooddrinksand tasty nibble food. the main course has a good variety and staff is very kind. reservations are recommended before the visit.

the rating is all for the ambience and taste of food and thedrinks(off course!) they are fancy. but i had far too high expectations from the place. (somehow not that satisfied)

i particularly did not find the staff to be helpful in suggestions, as for someone who visits the place for first time.

the ambience is too good ! would love to go again & explore more. give it one more chance!

this weekend, i met up a few friends for brunch and we decided to try the alchemist on new york street. i love a good cocktail and rumour has it, that this is the place to go to for a cocktail that’s out of this world. i wasn’t going to miss out on that was i? yes it was 12.3o pm on a saturday but so what? it’s never too early for a cocktail! i like the relaxed ambience at the alchemist. it’s not too pretentious and it’s not your average burger joint either – its just about right for a laid back brunch at the weekend or fordrinksand some grub after a long day at work. it’s sophisticated yet relaxed without trying very hard to be either and i love that about this living ventures property. we were immediately served by the friendly maître d’ upon arrival and was promptly seated in one of the very comfy leather couches in the restaurant. i love the subtle hints of the restaurant’s theme, the conical flask salt and pepper shakers, the specimen boxes on the tables for condiments, the vats
