   We were genuinely looking forward to our visit to Alchemi, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. While we were seated promptly and our drink orders were taken and delivered efficiently, service quickly became inconsistent. After that initial interaction, no one returned to our table, and we eventually had to flag down who appeared to be the head chef to place our food order — which he kindly took. Regrettably, one dish had to be returned because it was served cold, and another guest in our party didn’t receive his meal until the rest of us had finished eating, as his order was never entered. While two guests really enjoyed their Pad Thai, the rest of us found our meals underwhelming, and the drinks were just average. That said, the staff we did interact with were kind, and the ambiance was lovely. The restaurant also offered us two complimentary desserts as an apology, which was appreciated but didn’t quite make up for the overall experience. We understand that restaurants can have off nights, possibly due to staffing issues, and hope this was the case here. We’d be open to trying Alchemi again under different circumstances.

   Overly sweet Pad Thai, salmon and strawberry mocktail. Great salad. Good crab-shrimp cakes. Has become very expensive. Decor is just off - hard to say why.

   The food was enjoyable, though the shrimp and lobster were slightly overcooked. Unfortunately, the service was slower than expected and did not meet the standard for a fine dining experience. The sound system also detracted from the atmosphere, with 70s classics playing in a way that felt more like a radio broadcast than a curated dining playlist. While the meal had its highlights, the overall experience fell short of expectations.

   Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about your recent visit to Alchemi. We apologize for the inconsistencies in your experience, particularly with the overcooked seafood and slower service. We'll definitely review our cooking techniques and service timing to ensure they meet our high standards. Regarding the sound system, we appreciate your suggestion and will revisit our music selection to create a more curated and immersive atmosphere. We hope to see you again in the near future so that you may have the experience you deserved. Again, Thank you, Alchemi

   Great ambiance, not pretentious, very consistent delicious food, accommodating for food allergies, excellent cocktails and then chef Johnny comes to say hello and make sure we are pleased with our meal. This is our constant among restaurants in the area

    We were in town for 1 night and did a quick check for a place in Royal Oak. No expectations. I have to say this is now one of my top five places that blew my mind and tastebuds. The Burnt Ends Salad alone is worth the visit. I’ve never thought of a salad being a smokey, complex mixture of root, leafy vegetables and buttery meat. Ohhhh! The waygu strudel was a delightful elevation that reminded me the best of a homemade pot roast crossed with Beef Wellington. More and more to try. I wish we lived close.

    We're absolutely blown away by your incredible review! It's wonderful to hear that your quick search led you Alchemi, and that we exceeded your expectations in every way. We're thrilled that our Burnt Ends Salad left such a lasting impression on you. Our chef's creative take on traditional salads is a favorite among our regulars, and we're glad you got to experience it. And we're equally delighted that our Wagyu strudel reminded you of a homemade pot roast crossed with Beef Wellington - what a wonderful compliment! Who knows, maybe you'll find yourself back in Royal Oak someday, and we'll get to welcome you back! Thank you again for your glowing review, and for sharing your enthusiasm with the world! Best regards, Alchemi
