    Had an outstanding experience during our first visit! The staff was both welcoming and efficient, setting the tone for a great evening. The menu strikes the perfect balance—well-curated without being overwhelming. We kicked things off with expertly crafted cocktails and the most amazing thick-cut bacon, which set the bar high. For the main course, we chose the Tomahawk steak for two, paired with creamed spinach. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the spinach was served hot and fresh, complementing the meal beautifully. Highly recommend this spot, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

    First time visiting The Alchemist after a suggestion from a friend. The ambience was great for a date. The ground floor area is small enough to be feel intimate but not cramped. Staten Island really needs more places like this! Also, shout out to the woman working there that offered me conversation cards when she heard i was going to be on a date! Such a great idea.
