   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.

   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

   The food and drinks are all great, just very high priced I’ve dined in similar concepts and I just felt like the drinks were too small for the price. I loved the presentation but the garnishes involved were cheap in costs so it was hard for me to justify the cost. I have a background in being a head chef and costing items based of purchasing cost etc. The food was very good overall the pad Thai was good, the wagyu was good, the lamb ragu was good it was just not garnished nicely just one edible flower in the center leaving little to no excitement. I’m writing this constructively not from a place of negativity or anything of that sort. I feel like if you’re going to charge top dollar then all of your entrees need to be exciting and fully thought out not just throwing edible flowers on top plates and calling it a night.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful and constructive review. We appreciate your honesty and value your feedback, especially given your background as a head chef. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the quality of our food and drinks, including the pad Thai, wagyu, and lamb ragu. However, we understand and respect your concerns about pricing and presentation. Regarding pricing, we appreciate your insight into food costing and understand that our prices may be higher than some of our competitors. However, we're committed to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, which can sometimes drive up costs. Thank you again for your thoughtful review. We're grateful for customers like you who help us improve and strive for excellence. Best regards, Alchemi
