I'm so thankful to have Alchemy in my neighborhood. Their sweet potato fries are amazing. A trip to Alchemy wouldn't be complete without them. They do a great job of sourcing a lot of their products, particularly meat, locally, and their specials often feature seasonal ingredients. I have yet to find a menu item that I haven't been really, really happy with. This is always where we bring out of town friends. They have an ever-changing excellent beer selection - lots of unique, hard to find brews - and the servers are usually quite knowledgeable about them. The place also has a nice vibe.
The only less-than-ideal experience we had is on a Friday night. We had to wait for quite some time to get a table only to find out that, because of their friday fish fry (though I hear it's great), they don't make sweet potato fries on Friday. And as I said, a trip to Alchemy isn't complete without the sweet potato fries.
