The defining objective of alchemy is most famously known as transforming base metals into gold or silver. Alchemy the restaurant is most famously known for transforming base ingredients into delicious meals.
I've only had their burgers, which are all amazing. Even their vegetarian burgers are good. Try the Bella if you are not a meat eater; it's got a balsamic vinegar glazed portabella mushroom steak accompanied by gorgonzola ranch, fried leeks, tomato, lettuce, and swiss cheese between two soft, freshly-baked buns.
If you're looking a real burger, get the Zaremba burger (if it's still available; Alchemy's menu is seasonal and subject to change.) It's got bacon, a green olive and shallot salad, tomato and swiss sitting on top of a juicy 1/3 lb patty. Pure heaven. Add a side of cilantro cucumber quinoa salad and you have yourself the perfect meal.
In addition to amazing food, Alchemy also boasts a strong cocktail menu and beer selection. Not to mention live music some nights. If you have a Bike Benefits sticker, you get $1 off drafts. So...what are you waiting for? Come taste the magic.
