Alchemy Bistro has become a favorite on Monday nights. In addition to superbly prepared fresh Penn Cove mussels from nearby Whidbey Island, they offer brilliantly performed classical guitar music by a talented area musician each Monday evening. Combine this with an interesting wine list, Farmers' Market menu choices, and smiling, competent service and you have a night to remember.

We stopped in for a glass of wine and a small plate. The special that evening was a mushroom dish with toast (their description was a bit more elegant) and it was delicious. Our server gave very good descriptions of the wines we were choosing between and the one we had was very good and complemented the food. Service was... More

Really good food. Different and great selection. Not your same old fare of food. My favorite is the creme' brulee french toast. I find it hard not to order this when we are there for brunch on Sunday's after church. My husband enjoys the drunken rabbit sandwich. Great place for special occasions or brunch on Sundays or whenever. We have... More

We chanced on this restaurant just wandering around and were very pleased by the good selection of interesting menu choices, and delighted with the quality of the food and wine, and the attractive presentation. Service was good, waitress very helpful and knowledgeable. We felt the meal a good value for the price.

On Monday night the Alchemy has a classical guitarist playing. On the way back to our hotel from another establishment we stopped to check out the restaurant & ended up sitting down and having an after dinner cocktail and listening to Trevor (?) play - lovely and versatile. On his break he came over and sat with us for a... More

Visiting friends here and went to dinner last night. Food was incredible. Wine suggested by our server was great. And the service was outstanding. Young woman knew everything about the food, made excellent recommendations and was totally charming. What a find in this little town. And I thought the prices were quite reasonable. Highly recommend!

Wonderful town, Port Townsend, where a shop sells t-shirts which read, 'We are all here because were are not all quite here.' Alchemy is a well named restaraunt which has intimate decor and lighting, a diverse and well executed menu, a good wine selection, and delightful staff. It would do well in urban centers, yet maintains the eclectic ambiance which... More

The food, atmosphere and service were all wonderful. I only went here for lunch, but it was delicious. I hear from others that they truly like all the dishes here. It's a lovely place.
