Alchemi

First time coming to Alchemi last Saturday night and had a reservation at 7:30pm. Took a few minutes to be greeted by the host but was quickly seated. Unfortunately our waiter took a bit to greet us but did take our drink orders. I'm not sure if they were short-staffed or what happened this evening but pretty much everything we ordered took forever to get to us which is the reason for losing a star on the rating. I don't believe it was our waiters fault as all the drinks were fresh and the food was hot when it arrived. Aside from that issue, everything we tasted at Alchemi was phenomenal. We started out with a few cocktails and the crab and shrimp cakes and immediately knew this was going to be a delicious evening. The cakes were so soft and melt-in-your-mouth flavorful! We ordered the salmon and NY strip for our entrees and were pleasantly surprised at just how amazing they were! The salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned and had just a hint of spice. It was wonderful! I had the NY strip and I have to say it was definitely up there in the top steaks I've had at a restaurant. The crust on the steak was amazing but perfectly cooked medium rare inside....and the chimichurri!!! To. Die. For. The smashed potatoes were also mouth-watering! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of were the veggies but that absolutely did not matter lol Last, we had the crème brûlée which had a perfect crust to crack and was delightful! Overall highly recommend. The restaurant was small but mighty with its dark atmosphere. Nice music that isn't too loud and very sweet staff. When we tried to order the French press coffee, our waiter wouldn't let us because they ran out of the beans and the press they ordered was not the right one. He flat out said, "no," when we ordered but then proceeded to explain he couldn't in good conscience charge us for that when all they had was Folgers! Good man :)

This is the 2nd time I've been here. The food is excellent and imaginative. The farmers salad was excellent. So were the crab and shrimp cakes. I would have been happy with an entree size of them! The rib appetizer was good. For my main I got the wagyu beef strudel which was good. I love the ambience of the restaurant. The only thing I have a complaint about is the drink prices. $17 for a very small drink (yes it looks pretty but 4 sips later its done).

Very nice and intimate experience for a Saturday night. Street parking was easy to find. As soon as you walk in, there are freshly grown plants and garnish used in dishes. We had reservations but shockingly it wasn't crazy crowded. Our waiter was polite but unfortunately they all looked short staffed and tired. Our appetizers and entrees were really delightful. The Thai rib meat melts in your mouth. We both finished our plates to say the least!

Came last week with some friends! I got the lamb chops which were okay. They were cooked well and the potatoes were good but the sauce was very sweet. The menu also had it listed served with pasta not potatoes and it only came with 3 Brussels sprouts and 2 small pieces of carrots so more veggies would of been better. My friends enjoyed their meals of the ragú and the wagyu beef strudel which was very small

The establishment was really beautiful! The service A1, the food was really good accept the seafood dish, it was bland had zero flavor. I suggest adding some pizzazz aka seasoning to the dish, bring it to life. The owner is involved and introduces himself which I really appreciated. Downstairs is the entertainment.

I would consider this more a place for drinks than food. We got the fancy cheese dip and Thai street ribs for starters. The cheese was too fancy and kinda bland. But the ribs were excellent. All their craft cocktails tasted fresh and each one was worth trying. Dwight's temptation was by far my favorite. For main courses, I got the wagyu beef strudel. It's delicious! The other dishes on the table were the lobster shrimp pad Thai- very plain, lamb ragu- absolutely no flavor, not sure what happened here, and the chicken tikka- the rice it comes with was without any seasoning but the chicken tikka and the flatbread it came with were very good. And I can't leave this review without telling you how amazing the crème brûlée was; I can't do it justice, just get it. It's exquisite. Overall, it's a beautiful restaurant with very attentive service. I will definitely be back!

The food was a very ambitious menu, drink menu is also top of the line. Servers are professional and take care of you. Reminds me of an old dinner, but super upscale. A bit pricey, special occasion kind of place.

The inside of the restaurant is sooo beautiful! The staff is beyond welcoming and friendly! Hunter was always making sure we had what we wanted and needed and gave us great recommendations too! Chef Johnny is so talented and even walked table to table to ask how everything tasted! The chimichurri on the strip was the best I've ever tasted! Everything is farm to table too which we love! The pad Thai was tasty and the streusel had such a nice cook to it! We also finished off with a cheesecake! It wasn't anything that was a must have, but was a sweet way to end the night!

4.5/5 so I'll round up to 5 stars.Alchemi had been on my list to try for a while, and I found myself in Royal Oak on a Friday night. I had checked earlier in the day and surprisingly they had a ton of reservations slots still open, so I snagged a 7pm one. I think we arrived maybe 15 minutes early and they were still able to seat us.I had a rum drink which was very good, it kind of tasted like orange juice. My boyfriend had the smoked Old Fashioned and was very impressed by it. We started off with the Thai spare ribs and these were also very good, albeit a bit pricey.I had the chimichurri steak for my meal and my boyfriend had the salmon with curry sauce; mine was excellent and he said his was really good too. He also had the Corpse Reviver drink, which had really cool presentation, and the Madagascar Express martini. For dessert we shared the cherry creme brulee which was also delicious.The only reason Alchemi gets 4.5 from me and not 5 is because our waiter got very busy with other tables, and water refills became a little more scarce, about halfway to three-quarters into the meal. This is the former Mr. B's location, also, and I was impressed with the way they renovated it. I'll definitely be back at some point, as all of the food was great.

This dinner was not a meal but an experience!!Bobby was a great waiter. We started with one of their mocktails with cucumber, rosemary and elderberry. It tasted like summer in a glass. My partner ordered an old fashioned. The smoke smelled just like a campfire.We had bacon wrapped dates, Gruyère cheese spread with homemade focaccia, tikki chicken and beef strudel. Every bite was heaven in our mouths.I highly recommend this restaurant.
