What Alice S doesn't like about The Alembic:
This place would be so amazing if their were any attention to service. No one greets you when you walk in. You don't know if you're supposed to seat yourself, order at the bar, etc. There are no servers and no clear directions so it's a confusing experience. I think their drinks are great and interesting but it's an overall disappointing experience. Service matters and it really makes an experience. View all feedback. What vickio likes about The Alembic:

read moreThe Alembic is a restaurant known for its great drinks and interesting menu, but unfortunately, the service tends to disappoint customers. While the food and cocktails are excellent, the restaurant has been criticized for its lack of clear directions and confusing experiences upon entry. Some have also complained about the rude attitude of the staff, despite the delicious food and impressive selection of Bourbon and Scotch. Overall, The Alembic offers a cozy and laid-back atmosphere with a great beer selection and bougie pub food. Despite some mixed reviews, many customers have enjoyed their experience and would consider returning.
The standout dishes were the leek ash pappardelle with lamb sugo, the jerk spiced duck hearts, and the rabbit roulade. Although it was a bit challenging to navi...
