Alchemy - Lynnfield

Soul crushing bill.Food is okay, definitely not worth the price. Super ambitious menu, great concepts but really not so great execution. Gave this restaurant 2 shots, both were dissapointing. First time was when they first opened up. We had burgers and ramen fries. The burgers were alright, but honestly you could get a better one across the street at Wahlburgers for almost half the price. The ramen fries initially were really good, honestly an excellent idea. But... After a while the seasoning was overwhelming. There was just SO much of it.Today we tried the karaage chicken, ramen and steak. The karaage chicken was genuinely really good, but not at all karaage. I'm not sure why it's called karaage besides it sounding cool to people who's never had it? The main dishes on the other hand.. weren't so great. Both the ramen and the steak just tasted like nothing. The broth was very watery and the steak just seemed to have no salt or seasoning on it at all. The quality of the steak was okay but definitely not what a $40 steak should be. I know there was a steak sauce on the side... But a steak at that price shouldn't NEED the sauce to cover up the lack of flavor. A steak should stand strong on its own, and the sauce should be there to compliment it not overshadow it.Walked away with a bill that was $110 for 2 adults and 1 kid. We only had 1 mixed drink and a soda to go with our food. You'd find a much better meal for a quarter of the price at similar places. Hell, I'd rather go to an Applebee's than come here again. There's just absolutely nothing here to justify the pricing, it's not a fancy place by any means.Typically I give restaurants 3 strikes instead of 2, but at this price I just can't afford it.

Super tasty eating! started with sushi, deviled eier, then salmon plus tee and dessert! never felt rushed and could relax. my salmon was boiled to perfection and the skin was perfectly crisp.

Very impressed by alchemy in lynnfield! marc, our waiter, was attentive and very friendly. the Burrata app was amazing with a lot of taste. the salads were large portions with a lot of taste to the dressings. the banan desert at the end was perfect. highly recommended to come here for a meal.

Second visit to Alchemy! First visit I had the Strip Steak with sides which was an Excellent Dinner. Last night I had the Cobb Salad and I was disappointed. The Lettuce was Not Fresh and the Chicken was Very Dry. Both times I sat at the Bar which was Great The Girls work very hard. To be honest the Hostess was a Snot!

The atmosphere here was wonderful. It wasn't so bougie that you couldn't go here unless dressed up but it also wasn't incredibly low-key. It is the middle ground of an exceptional hipster atmosphere. The food was incredible. Definitely on the pricer side of restaurant food but well worth it. My steak was cooked to perfect. I got it medium-rare it is was delicious. The side salad with the plate was different because it was like little wedges with dressing on them. It was very delicious and eclectic. I will definitely go back here. The bar tender was the sweetest bean as well as the staff were very inviting and wonderful.
