   I had been getting notices and I actually spoke to someone on the phone a couple of days before our reservation to discuss whether the patio or indoors was better for someone in a wheelchair. On the day of our reservation we were running late and my husband called the restaurant and they told him they couldn’t find our reservation. This made me upset because I had just spoken to someone two days before. Fortunately, they were still able to prepare a table for our large party. I came in upset but it was forgiven when they seated us. All the food was delicious and that helped! Other than losing our reservation, I would recommend this place! The patio was beautiful and the weather perfect!

   Alchemy is a wonderful dining event. I say "event" as it is more than just a dinner out. The service, setting (we love the porch on a warm evening) and higher level of food preparation all combine to make it a special place for us. Relax and enjoy, you won't be disappointed.

   Our dinner was beyond exceptional. The service as always was high standards. Our dinner was unbelievably delicious, had the filet mignon and the ribeye so well seasoned and tender melt-in your mouth delicious and the sauce was so yummy too. My husband had asparagus that was amazing. My mashed potatoes were very good as well. I can’t really say enough how delicious everything was. Our server as always is a pleasure delivering our meal. Her knowledge of the menu is astounding. I love the cocktail drinks from the bar. They have very cute and interesting names. The bar alchemist makes exceptional cocktails. And the dessert was a perfect way to end our dinner.

   Not too impressed with the food. Service was outstanding though! David, our waiter was not shy about drink and food recommendations. My husband had the cold tomato soup, didn't like it much, David took it off the bill. I would try it again just because of the service.

   Always a delicious meal and the staff are lovely and totally on their game. You must try the mushroom mushroom; it’s a mushroom flan/custard topped with sautéed mushrooms and finished with a mushroom broth. Absolutely delicious! Definitely a place to hit when you’re in Ashland!

   We went for a special occasion. Didn't know that they have a limited menu on Sundays & Mondays so only 4 choices for dinner. Food was not great. Nothing special. Price was really high for mediocre food. It was our first visit - we will not return. I would not recommend this restaurant.
   

   Alchemy Restaurant and BarResponded on May 16, 2023Thank you so much for joining us! I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy your time with us. We do try to make sure when you book via opentable on Sun/Mon that it does say you're booking for the bistro menu. We are always happy to do whatever we can to fix any issue brought to our attention, but I couldn't find any complaints from that evening. I'll reach out further to see what I can do for you. Again, I'm sorry you're evening didn't live up to expectations, and we'll do what we can for you.

    I ordered the dry aged rib eye Medium rare and it came out a lot closer to well done. And the size of the steak was very underwhelming. The wait staff and bartender were amazing and very nice.
    

    Alchemy Restaurant and BarResponded on May 16, 2023I'm happy to hear that the service was great but I'm sorry that the steak was not prepared to your liking. Hopefully you addressed that to the staff at the time? We're always happy to fix any issues with preparation on the spot so you love your meal. Thank you for your feedback we appreciate you.

    The service was great, the atmosphere was beautiful, the Food was oh so Yummy! My only complaint was the table next to us was a little loud. We could hear everything they were talking about. My husband and I was trying to enjoy a quiet evening celebrating our Anniversary. I just wanted to forget about the world for 1 night and when others start talking about politics we were ready to leave. We would go back for the food, just request to sit in a different area/quieter area.

    Had another fantastic meal here last night. We tried a bunch of stuff. Ordered almost all the dim sum on the bar menu and that was a huge hit at the table. My favorite was the lamb and morels. I think they said it was rib meat, but that next to the local mushrooms was just to die for. Always look forward to coming back, especially now that the weather is nice as we love sitting outside. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Second time at Alchemy, we drove from California to have dinner here. As expected, everything was amazing, one of our favorite restaurants, we decided to come early and have a drink at the bar, our bartender Sophie is very knowledgeable, friendly and make the best drink. Our server Walker is the sweetest, she’s amazing and personable. We’ll definitely visit this place again soon and stay at the hotel next time. The only thing that I would say that I didn’t like was the Osso buco, it’s my favorite veal recipe and had this many times at different restaurants and this one is not good in my opinion, other than that, make sure to try the filet mignon, rib eye, mussels, and our favorite scallops and end with chocolate fondant.
    

    Alchemy Restaurant and BarResponded on April 17, 2023Thank you very much for the detailed and specific review, that helps us out a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed most everything, and thank you for your feddback on the osso bucco. I'm glad the service and the food was on point for your visit, we'll hope to see you again on your next visit!

    My second time there and it was so delicious! I was there celebrating my guest’s birthday milestone and the staff were attentive and kind. We had a lot of fun trying different dishes. All of the ingredients were top tier. We had the artisan bread with various butters including one with marrow, cheese board with guava paste and a pear and ginger concoction, scallops, miso cod, filet mignon, and all three available desserts. They included a chocolate fondant, a baked passion fruit option, and a huge slice of lemon tart. Everything was meticulously assembled and fresh. We will be back!

    Our waitress was wonderful! The bread and butter plate we ordered was delicious. Our entrees were good, but not remarkable. The lemon shortbread tarte served on meringue was exquisite! Our waitress recommended Argyle vintage brut sparkling wine and it was lovely! We sat in the bar so it was a bit close quarters but the view of the garden, even in February felt special.

    Absolutely the BEST food, service and ambiance in Ashland. I’ve been traveling through Ashland for 30 years and this is the first outstanding food, and overall service I’ve experienced there. Will definitely be back again and again. Our waiter was delightful, the food was exceptional, especially the mushroom mushroom, Caesar salad, and tuna tartare. I read great reviews, so had to experience for myself. It was beyond expectations and I’m thrilled to have found this wonderful place to dine at on our yearly road trips.

    We stopped here on a whim at the beginning of a road trip. We made sure to eat here on our return. Both times we were wowed by the food! We ate at Michelin star restaurants in California during our road trip that were not nearly as good as this. The food is truly outstanding! The steak tartare, mushroom mushroom, and lamb were highlights. Cocktails and wine are delicious and inventive! We will absolutely be back again. Also, dessert is not to be missed! Some of the most delicious desserts we’ve ever had anywhere in the world.
