Every dinner has a different theme – check their website prior to visiting and see what theme they are playing that night; some dishes even contain hidden three dimensional designs!
The Alchemist
The Alchemist restaurant is known for their novel approach to food service. Instead of serving traditional courses, their unique menu consists of “impressions,” or non-edible courses designed to draw diners’ attention and address issues facing society today – such as plastic waste, sustainable seafood sources and healthcare systems. Each experience aims to educate diners while inspiring diners at once.
The menu offers stunning cocktails using molecular mixology to amaze drinkers. One such drink, known as the Pina Co-lava Lamp, uses Bombay Sapphire Premium Cru gin with yuzu and citrus juice in a vessel lit up like a cauldron – complete with fairy liquid and nettle stings for an added dose of magic!
Larry June and The Alchemist have made quite an impression this year, with June releasing Spaceships On The Blade last August and Alchemist producing on Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-nominated Mr Morales & The Big Steppers album. Now, they are gearing up to release “60 Days”, directed by Sean Kelly below.
