Alchemy [San Diego]

Went to Alchemy last night and I had to ask myself why I haven't been there for so long!! I had the crispy skin jidori chicken that was so tasty. It was busy for a Wednesday night which is good. Finished up with the bread pudding yummy. I will be back often as I now crave that chicken.

Our catering for two days of meetings was provided by Alchemy --- two lunches and one hot breakfast. And I give them a thumbs up for all.

Top notch vegetables in abundance and high quality meats, plenty of choices for vegans though it was a bit hard to avoid gluten. I especially liked a chunky roasted eggplant salad. Breakfast was particularly strong. Despite being served buffet style from steam trays, the waxy potato confit hash was wonderful and the farmers scramble featured richly colored/flavored, moist eggs.

I had brunch there on Sunday and it was wonderful! We started with the seasonal doughnuts, maple glazed with bacon toppings and apple glazed, both delicious! I had the fried chicken and waffles and the fried chicken was supreme!

Dusting off an old thread- ate at Alchemy tonight, and had a very similar experience and the OP. Very high quality food- granted not the most expensive of ingredients- bulgar, peas and chicken. But perfectly prepared, well seasoned, clean, nice. I at a "high end" place last night, and the Alchemy entree I had was better than anything on last night's 5 course tasting menu, and I probably spent three times what I spent at Alchemy.

Ok, my ears are stil ringing from the din, but I need to return to Alchemy more often.

If you go on a Sunday or around 6pm it is normally relatively quiet to have conversation. Also try to get one of the tables at the wall in the back

The suckling pig dinner for a large group is well worth your while.

The suckling pig dinner is high on my list. I also often gauge a place by how they handle chicken.
