Reviews for Alchemy Café in Murphys, CA
We had a 7:45 reservation on Saturday. We arrived at 7:40 and were told it would be a 25 min wait. The hostess said to us “the... kitchen would yell at her if she seated us now”. Right after that someone came up to her and said they had been waiting for along time and the hostess said to him “I totally forgot about you”. We went to the bar, but there weren’t any seats open.We asked the bartender if we could stand and she said yes. Right after we ordered our drinks the hostess came up to us and saidher manager said we couldn’t stand and had to seat us at our table, but that it would still be a few minutes before we wereserved. At 8:30, I finally went to go find someone as no one ever came to our table to take our order. When the waitressarrived, she said that no one ever told her we were seated in her section. The waitress’ service and food was good. Thehostess was very unprofessional, appeared very unorganized as she kept flipping through 3 different sheets of her notepad tofigure out who was waiting for a table, and was continuously yelling across the restaurant to other staff.

I’ll start by saying the food was good. Our server was nice and helpful. This review speaks more to the very first employee... encountered. We had a reservation for 7pm for 10 people. Upon arriving we were told we had to wait. Not a huge problem butpretty much defeating the point of a reservation. A server then proceeded to bark at us that we needed to move, we were in herway. The words “excuse me” or “pardon me” were not once uttered. When we informed her that we were waiting on ourtable, that we had a reservation for she stated that they assumed we’d be eating outside (mind you it was 94 degrees out atthis time and we have multiple people in our party over 70), when we informed her that that wasn’t an option to pick inside oroutside on the website she curtly informed us “that’s not my problem.” Once again, the food was good, our server wasgood, but the first interactions with a rude employee, who was working the outside front tables colored the entire night.

Large patio are with misters for the heat. Dog friendly, which was a must. Caesar salad was average, but nice take on a wedge... salad and the flat iron steak was cooked perfectly! Read more
Food was great. Our waitress was too busy with more important customers to check on us, get us more water or even get us our... bill so we could leave. When walking in to pay our bill I was greeted by a woman who had been sitting at the bar the whole timesince our arrival, not noticing any customers and asked where I would like to be seated. Manager/Owner, have no clue... Butneither did they! Read more
