Food and Drinks

Pros:

• "The drinks are moderately priced but worth the money."
• "Amazing collection of cocktails and other drinks well prepared and presented."
• "Incredible drinks both visually and in taste, definitely worth the price."
• "Came for a dinner for 2, service was amazing and as was the food!"

Cons:

• "Personally I prefer my drinks to be flavoursome, rather than just loaded with alcohol and akin to drinking paint stripper."
• "The only thing I would say is it felt a little plain in comparison to everything else on the menu."
• "If you have the French kiss it comes with a tongue with popping candy on, essentially you have to lick the popping candy off the tongue, not very hygienic."
• "Service was very slow, and the food was okay for freezer to fryer to table."
• "Our experience at the alchemist was not all that, we ordered pina coladas that were too strong."
• "The food was not that great, was OK, the food quantities were not enough as a single serving, the nachos dish, was really disappointing."
• "The food was also shocking, and half of the orders were wrong despite the waitress reading them back to us."
• "Food was awful. Tasteless and poor quality and massively overpriced."
