Alchemy is in a wonderful location along the river. The food is excellent - the beef cheeks that seems to always be on the specials menu is exceptional. The service is usually very good. We did go here for Mother's day last year where it was so busy that the service was much slower than usual. They were very apologetic at the time and unprompted, they called a few days later and offered us a gift voucher to thank us for our patience!

Went to Alchemy for our first wedding anniversary dinner - totally planned as a surprise by my awesome husband.
This is a lovely restaurant. Beautiful location, looking out over the river and the bridge all lit up, really stunning backdrop for photos which is fantastic for special occasions.
The staff are definitely the greatest advantage of this place - they are super professional, well trained in service and extremely friendly without being intrusive or overbearing. Nothing is too much trouble as they go about their work quietly and efficiently.
The food is also lovely. I made a bad ordering choice, thought I would try something new but turns out I don't like it, but I know that is about me not the quality of the food or the chef. My husbands dinner was really good! They have a solid selection to cover most people's taste, and nice specials each night to make your choice that bit more difficult!
Definitely worth considering if you want a special dinner out.
