    Our second visit. Last time was a quick stop before a play, this time we dined here on purpose to see if it was as good as we remembered. It was! Excellent food well prepared, and very friendly attentive service. But, the best part were the pre-dinner cocktails. These people obviously care about the product they are producing. The cocktails we enjoyed were inspired and beautifully presented. As for dinner, delicious! We went for the tomahawk as it had been a while since we've enjoyed a good steak. This was executed perfectly! Of course, no dinner is complete without dessert....so we shared the gluten free chocolate cake....yep, basically a version of flourless chocolate cake. I'm not a cake person, but this was very chocolatey. We'll be back for a third time when we return to London!

    I liked the place. Great decor inside and fantastic service. Food was a bit unexpected. I was told it was Scandinavian and French but it was not. .Scan hints with all the smoked herring for sure. We has a bunch of appetisers. ..smoked herring with prawns on lettuce was fantastic plus some charcuterie which was nice...others were picked out for us so I wasn't sure what I was eating but enjoyed all that I tried. My lunch was easy ..a cheese burger and fries. The burger was cooked a bit too much for me but it was tasty..the fries were ok as well..creme brulee for dessert was great. I enjoyed my meal. Downfall..music was a bit too loud. DJ on site at noon...

    Great setting and environment. The food was delicate too. However, the waiters could have been more attentive.

    Great food, slightly let down by mediocre service. The matching wines offer was interesting but unfortunately quite mean on its servings.

    The Alchemist was literally at the bottom of our Airbnb, making it incredibly convenient--and I'm…read moreso glad we stopped in. The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

The signature cocktails…read moremenu has changed several times over the years, but the service is still top notch, and I'm happy to report that the newest cocktail menu is the best it's been since the Imagination menu when I first started coming here. The cocktails are all delicious, and live up to their exotic names and creative descriptions. My personal favorite is the Kentucky Gourmand, which is a tasty, peanut-buttery take on a classic Old Fashioned. It isn't too sweet, and still packs a punch, so if you enjoy your whiskey, this bad boy is for you. The menu offers a little something for everyone, and if the stronger drinks aren't your forté, then you might give the Cider Side or Popping Bubbles a try. Even their pickled martini seems to be making the rounds as one of the hottest drinks - no pun intended - on the menu. The food is still, thankfully, amongst the best bar food you'll ever have - if a bit pricey. And, the atmosphere blends swanky bar vibes with fancy living room chic, managing to be comfortable and ritzy, without being pretentious.
