The Alchemist - Greek St

Well.......it was a wet cold friday evening walking through the dreary streets of Leeds I stumbled upon this bar by luck. My nephews 20th birthday I said I will treat you to some cocktails. The bar was extremely quiet and dead. However it was a really great night as the staff were happy and made it good fun. I worked my way through the menu and I think we tried around 80percent of the cocktails. In my personal opinion the popsicle ones Tasted soapy and I really didn't like them. The fun ones were TNT and Mad hatters. The one I enjoyed the taste of the mist was jaffa cake. It comes with a warning don't bite the edible cup until completely empty (I had about and inch left and thought it will be fine if I nibble the top... but it split all the way done and leaked over my leg) All in all this was the better franchised cocktail bars I have been in....

Didn't have any food so that is why I haven't given it a rating. Drinks however were lovely! Very good service from all of the staff, felt very welcomed. Only issue I had was with the volume of the music, even in the restaurant section I had to shout to hear my friend who was next to me and we both left with our ears ringing - it was a Saturday night though to be fair!

Greatest meal out we have ever been to. We came for a little date day to leeds looking for somewhere a little more special to celebrate being child free for a day! We visited this restaurant and from start to finish were so impressed. The host (brown haired lady, yellow skirt) was so lovely and happy. Showed us to our seat promptly with no problem even though we had no booking. For first timers, we found the drinks menu had so much variety and were a little unsure on what to order. Imad our waiter was so friendly and had a very happy aura. He was more than happy to help recommend things we may enjoy. The food was so amazing. I’ve never had anything like it. Cannot recommend enough the duck salad. So flavorful and quick too! We will definitely return here. Money well spent. It’s nice to see happy and helpful staff. It really makes the experience.

I hadn’t been to this Alchemist before but safe to say they blew my expectations. The food and drinks were great as usual but what really made this place were the staff. Both the waiter and waitress we had were so attentive to our party’s needs and were incredibly polite and patient - truly excellent customer service. They turned a simple meal out with my family into an incredible experience and we all left smiling. The cherry on top was the theatrical birthday dessert I got at the end which was a very sweet touch. I highly recommend this place for the food and the staff going above and beyond

What a great experience. The food was very well presented, great thought around texture and flavours and the drinks were more theatre than quantity. But all in all it was a good afternoon. Not cheap, £107 for 4 of us and I wasn't drinking (driving), but not expensive for the experience and theatrics.
