The Alchemists' Garden

The food is DELICIOUS, seriously there are great flavors happening here - drink and food. I got there for brunch which only happens once a month - my hash brown Benedict was insanely good. However, be warned the portion sizes are on the smaller side. They are perfect for me since I have a very small appetite. Also the whole place is so cute. Whoever designed the menus is so creative. Also be prepared to wear layers - Their outdoor heaters get really hot! We would have asked to turn them off but one of the guests at our table was really sensitive to cold. It was a chilly day.

Super happy with everything about our visit! I had their "know your roots" cocktail which was AMAZING! My favorite! And we tried the duck wrapped dates and turmeric eggs for apps, & then went with the lamb and steak entrees as well. And finished the night with the coconut cream pie parfait.
Those were soooo delicious, we've already been back twice to have them again! Highly recommend!!

The food menu here is both unique and well-crafted, along with their extensive spirits and cocktail menu. I’d recommend this place for drinks and tapas-style meal.
We ordered the cast-iron fondue, duck wrapped dates, tumeric eggs, an old-fashioned, and lemon drop cocktail.
Food was good, if pricy! the fondue was my fave, would just ask for less salt on the potato dippers.

COVID MEASURES: meh. The “outdoor patio” is basically just extension of indoors. Very walled off with little ventilation, lots of still air. On the weekends it’s packed, with big crowds drinking, yelling/talking loudly with no masks (bc theyre eating/drinking, I know) We didn’t feel comfortable seated there and asked to move to the actual outdoor tables lining the sidewalk. Otherwise, there’s some good measures like tables have sanitizer and QR code menus.

Evaluate the risks and do what is comfortable for you. We wanted to be on the safe side bc the idea of outdoor dining being safer depends on there being good ventilation.

AMAZING experience! We have stricter Covid practIces, and they actually put a special table by the side of their gorgeous ivy wall for us and Quinn took amazing care of us. It was our first experience dining post-covid and we felt so safe and taken care of. Their cocktails are extremely good and the food was perfect. I highly recommend the fondue and the banana split. They even sold us a bottle of wine we could take with us because we got in to Paso Robles too late to catch a bottle at one of the wine stores, so we still got to enjoy a perfect local wine later when we'd gotten home. Don't miss this spot!
