Danny, the front of house, was very helpful and had good insight about the menu and chef's intentions. The prices were reasonable for the quality, presentation, and knowledge. Food was exceptional - dinner service was a bit slow, but the quality absolutely made up for it. Do be sure to ask for extra items not listed, especially local beers. Expect... More

Have gone to this restaurant for several years, but last week we stopped in for lunch...small alcoholic beverages were creative, but were $12 each...regular sandwiches and a flat bread were priced as evening meals...the caesar salad was incredibly small at $8. I will not return which is too bad...I loved bringing my out of town guests to this funky restaurant... More

I have eaten here twice. My bottom line is nice restaurant if you are in town but not worth traveling up there for it. I live in Marblehead and have met people for dinner twice. I have enjoyed both dinners. I find the restaurant pleasant and the wait staff both knowledgeable and attentive, but my last dinner, the special a... More

The flat bread was a great starter and the flavor was quite good. The service was good too. The menu is a little pretentious which may put some people off, but I'm glad we pushed through. Nice combinations of flavor.

OK, I admit it, I hear the retail music in every store, but that's what clicked in my head when I walked into Alchemy - great downtempo grooves washing the room. The menu is adventurous for those who dare and dressedup pub fare for those who want to go "nice." Throw in original cocktails and you have a great Gloucester... More

Very cool place, lots of different zones with different kinds of seating. Regular restaurant tables, a nice, classy bar area, and couches in a little lounge. The menu was amazing if you like tapas (I do!). Things weren't done perfectly - I had bacon wrapped dates and the bacon was not crispy. The pork belly tacos were great once I... More

On our most recent of many visits we enjoyed an early dinner at the bar. Alchemy always has a really inspired selection of craft beers on draft and as always the bartender was truly knowledgeable and helpful. The bar is a very friendly area with great conversation. The food is consistently excellent and creative from great small plates to delicious... More

We've been here before, enjoyed it immensely and therefore we booked for brunch to celebrate my birthday. It was very disappointing this time. The service was slow and inattentive. Our waitress brought me coffee that had grounds in the cup and a cup of decaf for one of our companions that was cold. When she returned with another cup of... More

Alchemy's interesting menu, offering entres, tapas and dishes to share is creative and delicious. The management is imaginative and up to date with food trends. Intelligent staff knowledgable and attentive. Bartenders like scientists! Prices very good. Great beer and wine selection. Plus the place is gorgeous and comfy. Alchemy is well-crafted in all areas.
