My 1st time here and it was great! Erika was our waitress and everything was wonderful. She made perfect, not good, perfect, wine recommendations. Erika was fun, professional, attentive, and responsive! The food was delicious with great combinations of flavors. Steamed mussels made my mouth water even when I didn't have one in my mouth. I sat at the bar... More

Nice bar selection - sorry I wasn't their long enough to sample. I ordered mussels and a drink at lunch - and promptly got an emergency phone call. The staff kindly cooked my food and prepared it for take-out, . Prices seem a bit high, but if they do the rest of the menu as well as the mussels I... More

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
