Alchemy

This place is great for those who want to drink to shelf spirits and dine on great food prepared to your liking. What caught my eye was the fried chicken. Yes I said fried chicken. I was in shock but the fried chicken was actually pretty good. I ordered a thigh and breast to test for juiciness and flavor over a big piece and boy it did not disappoint. Now wait a min some might day it needs salt. But no - let's be fair you gotta cook but you can't raise someone's blood pressure at the same time.

We stopped in for a bite while running some errands and were so happy we did. The bartender was super friendly and made a great cocktail. The fried chicken has its own section on the menu and for good reason. I got the fried chicken sandwich and my partner got the combo. Would return just for the cocktail or for the chicken - definitely recommend a stop in!

I came here with my mother and my girlfriend. I had the corned beef special for St. Patrick's Day, which was good. The brussels sprouts we ordered as a side were quite ordinary. They weren't crispy or seasoned in a particularly distinct way, combined with cheese or bacon or any of the common trendy manners that restaurants now serve brussels sprouts. The mushroom salad was good. My mother's fish was good. A solid restaurant.

Hamilton's on Ft. Hamilton Parkway is one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn, so it was no surprise to me that I would absolutely love their sister restaurant. As soon as I walked into Alchemy for brunch, I felt it had the same vibe as Hamilton's, in spite of it being much smaller. The establishment is clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food comes out fast, fresh, and delicious. It is conveniently located near the Barclay Center, so it is a great little spot to stop in before and/or after an event. I definitely recommend, and I will most certainly drop by again in the future the next time I am in the area.

Lovely cute place. Very chill. My girlfriend and I always come here for brunch. I love their Eggs Benedict. Steak and eggs are great too.

French toast was mid. It was extra dry, and not very sweet. The fruit was relatively fresh though, so that was a plus. Although why grapes??

My scrambled eggs were WET. And not just uncooked, it’s like they poured a cup of water over them while they were on the plate. Extremely bland and horrible texture.

My girlfriends omelette was super dry, rubbery and salty. My friend said the eggs Benedict was fine, but not particularly memorable.

Lattes were good.

Lastly, not sure if this is related, but it rained dust balls from the roof during our entire meal. It was really annoying that they kept landing in our water and food. It wasn’t constant, but consistent (~ every 10 min). Please get the laundromat to not dump their dust there? Or remove the outdoor seating please.

Great little place to eat and grab a drink. The food is excellent with a small but satisfying no frills menu and a wide selection of drinks. The atmosphere is very friendly and the prices are (in my opinion) affordable.
