What keeps me coming back? Hmm, perhaps the fresh food? The simple yet delicious specials? Or maybe the friendly staff and quick service?
Yup, yup, yup. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the Alchemy. This is not a place for the finicky eaters. I am impressed by the seasonal fare. The veggie of choice on your special is usually the seasonal vegetable.
The fresh food is apparent and is in an incredible value. For $15, I ordered a braised short rib with shiitake Parmesan risotto and mustard glazed Brussels sprouts. I have never so willingly eaten Brussels sprouts in my life.
They serve Honeybee bakery desserts. I had the vanilla raspberry cheesecake. My only complaint? That I did not get two slices. Parking is doable in the area. They do not have an official lot but I have never had a problem getting a spot within a block of the area. You will probably need a little walk after eating all of their delicious food.
On another visit I ordered a burger with greens. Their seasonal dressing was a tangerine vinaigrette. I found myself eating the greens instead of the burger. Alchemy's motto should be: Getting everyone to eat their veggies.
I will go back. Again and again.
