   The service at the door was amazing. We arrived early and the host found us a place to sit, looking over the city lights until our table was ready.

   We had very high expectations based on what we had been told by others and unfortunately it fell short as soon as we walked through the bookcase. Where we were seated was right by the door which was a lacklustre location and disappointing as the atmosphere and design element was why we wanted to check it out. The drinks were ok and the food was below average. There was nothing wrong with the drinks but we’ve been to other cocktail bars in Edmonton where the drinks are absolutely mind blowing and truly unique. Also dried flower petals that garnished the Flower Power drink were very unpleasant. The chicken bao stuck to the cast iron it was presented on and fell apart when you picked it up and could not compare flavour wise to an establishment that serves very similar food only a few blocks away. The beef tataki lacked flavour and unfortunately was boring. We really wanted and expected something unique from the experience and it did not deliver. However, our server was good and very nice. Our food and drinks were delivered within a respectable time after ordering.

   For what I think would be a high-end cocktail bar in the heart of downtown, it was rather disappointing. We walked in and as soon as we sat down we were asked "Do'ya know what you want?"... there's a wide range of cocktails we can pick from, which is great. They were delicious and well priced. Then we were wanting to order a snack,so we decided to order the "meat and cheese" for $30. It was probably the worst thing I've ever ordered from a restaurant- it looked so cheap, the cheese looked like it was taken from a bag and put on a plate, the meat looked like something you got from a gas station while on a long road trip and the triangle corn chips looked ( and tasted) like they were purchased from the local Bianca Amores. Definitely not worth it. Overall it was a nice time, but very dissatisfied with the food- ended up going elsewhere.

   My friends and I had a lovely time at Alchemy celebrating my birthday! They even gave me a delicious birthday shot - the Strawberry Pie I believe - I would go back just for that! It started getting a bit louder around 8:30 which would be a fun dance vibe, just not what we were looking for. Overall though it was a great experience! 10/10 will go back!

   Hi Abigail, thank you for your review. We’re so happy you chose Alchemy to celebrate—and YES to the Strawberry Pie shot! It’s basically birthday magic in a glass. Things do tend to pick up around 8:30, but we’re glad the energy didn’t take away from your night. Can’t wait to have you back again soon for more fun, friends, and flavor!
