"...offers a strong selection of international and Australian wines, with some very good drops available by the glass. There's also a cellar reserve with plenty of premium bottles at premium prices...Alchemy offers an enjoyable dining experience..."

Anooska Tucker-Evans, Sunday Mail - August 2008

"It's glam and has one of Brisbane's best water views...As well as the traditional a la carte menu, you can sit up at the bar and soak up the ambience for a fraction of the price..."

Natascha Mirosch, Courier Mail - May 2008

"Overlooking the Brisbane River and the curves of the Story Bridge, this stylish newcomer to the business end of the CBD has been designed to dazzle. White tables are bare beneath and Murano glass chandeliers, floors and timber and doors peel back to beckon the view..."

Anthea Loucas, Gourmet Traveller 2008 Australian Restaurant Guide - November 2007

"This modern dining space is perched above the boardwalk, giving uninterrupted views of the river and Story Bridge..."

"Alchemy's design is postmodern chic, rather austere except for a clunking great red thing hanging from the ceiling... Alchemy is food theatre at its best..."

Des Houghton, Gourier Mail - February 2007

"...it's exceedingly good, and his menu brings a welcome touch of adventure and imagination to the highly successful, but at the same time quite predictable, run of Eagle Street riverside restaurants...The service we experienced was spot on, with just the right amount of chatter and neat adeptness when it came to the mechanics of waiting...Overall, Alchemy is a seriously good venue with exceptional food and an incredibly good position..."

"A modern decor of deep green charcoal timber and stainless steel is offset by (a) striking hand blown murano glass chandelier in a vivid red which also match the shimmering red organza curtains dividing the dining room from the bar...a private room with seating for up to 40 is off to one side."

Lizzi Loel, Courier Mail - February 2007

"With a superb river location and an imaginative chef, discover an Aladdin's cave for gourmads in the heart of the city. Considering its gorgeous location, almost swimming in the river, I reckon their landlord might be the one practising the arcane arts. But whatever the rent, it's probably worth it. The restaurant is a true beauty, perched a smidgin above the board walk with a terrace and two dining rooms looking out to the view. Its recessed reach into subterranean space like an Aladdin's cave for gourmands. A really nice area is dedicated to a bar, and I've no doubt it will find favour as a Friday night hangout."
