The Alchemist Bar & Cafe

Was at the Alchemist for a private function last night and must say I left quite underwhelmed. It was very hot and stuffy and the (male) wait staff were grumpy and in one case down-right rude. The two female staff members were considerably more friendly but the lads really pulled down the experience.

I was empty when i went and the bartender was great . We got a large meal and drinks and well looked after for a meal . Bar is quirky and nice . Easy going feeling that makes you feel at ease . Food was great for the price .. big portions and bartender was good enough that i tiped him and i was on a tight backpackers buget . And i an tight!

Well was disappointed with the Alchemist Bar, as we were using a CUDO vocher and so were about another 6 couples there, the service was poor, the first 2 entrees were nice, the first main was curry, all you could tast was chilli, it had a cold mussel in it and the the rice was cold. we arrived about 6:25 and 7:30 we were waiting for our second main course, plus as one person was driving, i was to have the 2 glasses of champange, i finished one and asked for the next and wait and wait, the waiter walk past 4 time in 10 minutes and did not delvier the second glass. By this time we were cheesed off so we left,. From last night experience, i think it is running with one waiter/barman and one cook, I would not recommend it to anybody on our experience last night.
