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.

Using Open Table to get on the list is perfect for weekend nights when places tend to be more busy during peak times. Our meal was great, our server was amazing, very friendly, very attentive, and you don't always get that anymore. My only complaint about this particular location is that it needs a serious table and seating remodel! Our booth's vinyl was peeling, the table had a lot of chips in it, and we have sat in other booths that have had vinyl peeling or holes in it. During the down time of Covid would have been a great time to do that like many other places did. But I'm guessing that they are also still trying to recover from the financial losses as well. I hope their corporate office does them a solid and gets that taken care of soon. Otherwise, our night was great!
