Alchemy Restaurant And Bar - Ashland

Staff is fantastic, service is fast, but the food is a big big flop. The Caesar salad is honestly the smallest portion I have been served in my life. It it was sublime, it would be enough, but as you probably have guessed it was a 6 over 10. Nothing memorable. The heirloom tomato burrata salad was beyond insipid, the burrata was sad but better then the least flavorful tomatos I’ve had in the last decade. The halibut was a surprise, maybe because my palate was starving for flavor so hard a burger of depth went a long way. It’s important to mention the dish costs $38. It’s wasn’t bad, but it’s not a 38 dollar halibut, no matter how well it’s presented. The chocolate fondant was the star of the meal, I not overly sweet, beautiful texture, excellent. If I had to go back I’d have a martini and a dessert, skip everything in between.

Delicious, beautifully presented courses and daily special. The Mushroom Mushroom was outstanding as was all other options. The stacked Caesar salad was delicious and fresh. Good wine list,very creative cocktails!

I have been here a few times and always had a wonderful experience. However, tonight, I couldn't wait to leave. I made a reservation for 7:15 in the bar. I gave them my name and it took them 10 minutes to sit us at the empty table behind us. We sat there for 15 minutes before they paid attention to us. We ordered an appetizer and drinks. We got our appetizer and kept looking back at the bar to see if our drinks were out and saw 2 drinks that were sitting there for a long period of time. We got our aged ribeyes without steak knives. We had to cut into our steaks with butter knives. We looked back at our server and she brought over our drinks that were just sitting there for 10-15 minutes, a $40 manhattan I should add. We finished our dinner before we got our drinks. I laid out my card on the table for the server to take and she asked me if I would like to see the total beforehand. I don't understand what difference that would make? Much rather go to fine dining elsewhere from now on.

Lovely restaurant/bar with elevated cocktails. The cocktail menus changes often and they don't replace the ingredients, so there's no point in posting which ones we liked. We just ordered bread because we weren't very hungry. They served several types of bread with three kinds of butter. We had a very nice time and will return when in the area. Street parking only.

Beautiful setting in a lovely Victorian Inn. Food was delicious and our server Molly was helpful and charming. Loved the Witches Kiss cocktail
