I'm a vegetarian and light beer drinker and go to Alchemy only because a group of my friends do. Alchemy is to be commended for its expansion of vegetarian items, Now I know that I won't be forced to eat a portobello sandwich, which is very tasty at Alchemy, but what vegetarian wants always to have to eat this or a veggie burger because nothing else is available for us? The maize salad is great --the small salad makes a whole meal. But the latest menu has gone too far. Alchemy should not be trying to prepare Southeast Asian food. I'm a connoisseur of it so was tempted by their Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad. Unfortunately, it was atrocious. Avoid at all costs.
