Alchemy in the Dark (已結業)

因為想比男朋友一個生日驚喜。早在1個半月前已預訂，有3次分別在早午晚時段打電話無人接，留言又無人回覆。到留whatsapp竟然有回覆。心諗生意咁好一定好。兩星期後whatsapp聯絡都仲有人應。晚飯前見未有人打黎double confirm 都自行send whatsapp 自我confirm. 竟然6:30pm到達 （訂座時間為6:45pm) 餐廳未開。果時真係紅都面曬，仲同男朋友講'香港人應該成日遲到所以人地6:45後先開門'6:50pm再返去都未開就開始驚，上網見openrice同Facebook 都有人講佢無開門先知出事。到晚上9點食完飯再返去都係未開。其實你唔開門或執左都講聲。

此餐廳已結業，請更新不要再連累人訂了位但失望而回！本人已是受害者之一！經whatsapp確認，但到當天去到門口內裏烏燈黑火，沒人招呼，沒人聽電話等了接近廿分鐘內裏有裝修工人剛巧行出來說：唔洗等啦，冇得食架啦！事件過了8天還沒有人正式打來道歉，這餐廳真不知所謂，結果佢地有幸重開，請提早通知，為免掃與而回😤

I booked a table for my gf bday on 21 through whatsapp on 14. However, it was closed on that day when we came.. No one pick up the phone call or reply whatsapp. No explanation , no message between 15jun to 21jun. Until now, no one reply! It is bad experience and very angry!

This is the first time I'm commenting in OpenRice.Around several weeks ago, I made a reservation in this restaurant to celebrate my first year anniversary with my boyfriend. The booking time was 6:45 pm, but when we arrived at the restaurant entrance punctually, it was closed! There were two other couples also waiting impatiently at the front door at that time. On OpenRice, it says the restaurant supposedly opens at 6:00 pm, and it was already 7:00 pm! When we called the restaurant, it was dire

I made a reservation 10 days before the date for dinner at 6.45pm. We arrived on time but the restaurant was shuttered and there was no sign of anyone being inside. There were two other couples besides us who also had reservations for 6.45, and when we tried to call we only got voicemail. Any type of notification that the restaurant wouldn't be open would have been appreciated. If there had been an emergency, even a sign on the door explaining why they were closed would have been better. Very un

同這位好友講話要去一間extraordinary嘅餐廳相聚話哂都幾個月無見所以就黎咗呢度⋯環境: 😎😎😎😎除咗entrance有正常光線之外，成餐飯都係漆黑一片 ... a real experience of dining in a complete darkness or even with your eyes closed!!!! (Note: 餐廳只有個細locker比你放低隨身物品包括手提電話，手錶.... 所以輕便會好d) 食物: 😋😋味道一般，食物用的器皿都係膠碟。重點係個進餐的過程。價錢: 💸💸💸💸CP值不高，始終食材比較普通。Comment: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻整個experience 好有趣，一試無防！好耐都無試過成餐飯冇玩過電話...好耐都無試過食飯唔係相機先食⋯更加未試過成餐飯我都冇開眼 haha.... 漆黑一片原來會另聽覺同味覺level up咗...Menu係食完先話你知既，可以考考自己嘅味覺，估下食左d乜

This was a novel experience which was quite fun. I won't go into details so as not to spoil the experience for others. The food itself is average quality. Worth giving a try for a memorable night out.

這是一家很特別的餐廳，他最大特點是完全漆黑的進餐。首先餐廳坐位應該不多，建議必須預約。請盡量不要攜帶大型隨身物品，雖然餐廳有提供LOCKER但不大。為了有最佳的效果手提電話和任何有光的物品都要放下。餐廳在斜路上，門口不是很大，要通過小走廊到接待的地方。SERVER會給你餐牌，但你只可選3 or 4 or 5道菜式和連唔連同wine pairing. 你不會知道會吃什麼因為你要用心去感受之後吃了什麼。當然餐廳會細心的詢問你有沒有食物敏感等，好讓吃得放心。進餐的位置於地庫，SERVER 會帶你慢慢地由地面沿樓梯行至，由光明慢慢走到完全漆黑再坐下。SERVER態度十分友善，他會很仔細的告訴你餐具,酒杯等的位置。第一次感受失明人士的生活，首十分鐘還是很不自然的但隨後會慢慢習慣。我當然不可能評價食物賣相但味道是十分可靠的。我們點了4 course with wine pairing. 餐廳細心地把所有的食物都弄成bite size，放便大家用手吃，當然如果你不怕挑戰其實是可以使用刀叉。記得所有菜式都不會很燙，避免受傷。前菜由幾件迷你的組成有Tuna 他他，調味剛好，菠菜酥，酥皮不錯，十分好吃。之

在倫敦生活的時候，我一直在朝拜不同餐廳，但遺憾當時並未有機會甚有書卷味的米芝蓮兩星Sketch Lecture Room and Library。想不到回到香港後，我可以遇到類似的餐廳﹣Alchemy! 看到Alchemy網上的照片，我已經很希望可以朝拜這地方了。知道Alchemy offer 性價比高的8-course Saturday Brunch後，我馬上相約友人一嘗美食。餐廳的地址有點隠蔽，從中環地鐵點走過去大約8至10分鐘，但這添加了餐廳的Exclusivity。一進去，餐廳的擺設令人眼前一亮：優閒的沙發、古色古香的書櫃、Audrey Hepburn的相框、開揚的玻璃窗．．．人並不多，有一家人在餐廳裡拍家庭照，Alchemy頓時變成影樓。想像著在如此氣氛下進餐，我腦海的Endorphins Level已變得非常旺盛！前菜先上了新鮮的Oyster，很久沒有吃Oyster了！很大隻，彷彿吃到Brighton海水的味道。第二道菜是煙三文魚，水準依舊。再來的是Octopus生牛肉，挻鮮味的，不過我並不是Carpaccio的Big Fans。重點來了 ﹣ 流心的太陽蛋﹠Risotto!

因為上次在Alchemy吃brunch的體驗很好, 所以再試它的Dinner in the dark.大家不用擔心, 貴重財物是有locker可以放的. 特別提醒, 如果手錶有發光的裝置的話, 也請先收好. 一下樓梯, 你會慢慢適應黑暗, 跟住也不會很怕.這一餐飯, 是沒有相片提供的, 也不便告訴你吃了什麼. 你要自己來試啊!但可以肯定, 朋友間談話是多了很多的.這餐飯吃的時間比較長, 也很飽.職員會讓你在restaurant坐一會, 向你解釋一下剛才吃了什麼, 也好讓你和朋友分享一下.但不知為何, 吃完之後, 上到有光的地方, 我們當然要分享感受, 朋友竟然提議再吃一個海鮮拼盤!這拼盤好像四百幾, 有生蠔, 帶子, 蝦, 蟹, 螺, 味道也幾好.所以這個相片, 並不是我在黑暗中偷影的, 而應該算是Alchemy Restaurant的.

作為一個現代人，你諗唔諗得起你上一次食飯完全唔掂電話係幾時嘅時？要食一餐飯，純粹係朋友坐埋一齊傾計，享受嘢食，其實好難。好耐之前「對話體驗」已經有"暗中夜宴"，但基於好多原因一直去唔到試，跟住仲唔記得埋；到最近無意中睇到有報導講起中環有餐廳有呢種體驗，即刻約朋友去試。約左7點，由地鐵站行上去其實都唔算遠，喺Dragon i 側邊樓梯上再向左行，但我地兩個熱血女子行到身水身汗，一入到去就即刻叫杯嘢飲先。我地先喺"lobby"坐低，揀menu (3/4/5 courses 同飲咩)，host同時會問你有冇嘢唔食，要留意，佢嘅意思係食物敏感而唔係有咩你唔鍾意食；跟住去洗手間(最緊要洗手)，當我地ready就由個host帶我地去locker room放好個袋。個locker好細，如果拎大袋或背囊可能只可以鎖住銀包電話等細件嘅貴重物品：個friend帶左個A4 size嘅 clutch，要摺幾下先塞到入去！同埋咁啱我地兩個都冇衫袋同褲袋，locker key差啲唔知放邊好(結果勾住喺隻手鈪度)。搞掂之後，個host就將我地交俾今晚負責service嘅Keith，由佢帶我地入餐廳，坐低，鋪餐巾，斟

結婚7週年，摸黑慶祝。Alchemy in the Dark是座落中環Dragon-i上面那條斜路的一間小酒吧，一入地下那層是酒吧，地庫便是dining in the dark的餐廳。先在地下酒吧那層坐下，侍應遞上"餐牌"，但這個"menu"只會給你選擇3、4還是5道菜和配不配酒，菜式欠奉，因為他們會讓你在完全看不見的情況下用嗅覺、味覺及觸覺來感受食物，猜猜自己究竟吃了什麼。漆黑中感受食物，要估中哂啲食物並唔容易，好多食物嘅味道覺得好熟，但又硬係噏到口唇邊講唔出，之後職員會用iPad展示食物嘅圖片俾你睇番，其實都係啲西餐嘢，賣個關子保持神秘，不過可以透露食物相當有水準，除了dining in the dark這個gimmick，味蕾還享受了一頓美味的fusion西餐。漆黑中共晉晚餐，說實在，我只是覺得很想睡，可能慣了漆黑一片便是瞌上雙眼瞓覺的時刻；雖然很睏，這餐漆黑中的晚餐還是挺有趣的，侍應也會細心的和客人聊天，分享他們在這裏的工作經驗和客人趣事等，都算一次特別的體驗。Dining in the dark完畢後，我們返回ground floor酒吧那層，享用我們的7週年甜品拼盤，唔知是

Amazing, fun experience in the dark. (No pics in this post obliviously... :-))The experience recounted:Step 1: arrive and is welcomed in the bar area. they have a bar/lounge in addition to the dark dining roomStep 2: choose your menu with your guide. 3,4 or 5 course; wine pairing or not. We chose the 4-courseStep 3: tell your guide any food restrictions you have. (I think they ended up serving me things I said I don't eat. that's the only disappointment . Luckily i don't have food allergies, I

朋友生日，想搵啲特別地方食下飯。上網搵左好耐都無乜特別，什麼私房茶，低溫煮食，live band 都係大同小異，真係無乜驚喜......之後我搵到一間係黑暗環境中食飯嘅餐廳，不過間餐廳嘅裝修有啲普通，廚師又唔係好吸引......我再上網搵多陣，就搵到 "Alchemy in the Dark"呢間餐廳，睇相就覺得Alchemy個裝修靚啲，同埋Alchemy都會將營業額某部份做慈善，加上新開，我估我朋友應該未去過嘅。當晚去到有個waiter 叫我地坐低，之後佢講解下個場地，問下我地有乜唔食，會選擇幾多道菜之類。因為我之前訂左birthday dessert，所以選擇左4道菜，另外再配埋酒。之後，有個視障嚮導(呀Keith)帶左我地落樓下，樓下黑麻麻，咩都睇唔到，個感覺幾特別，打開眼同合閉眼係一樣。入到去，呀Keith 捉住我隻手，同我講邊張喺枱，邊張喺sofa，邊支喺叉之類。坐底左，飲杯水，就開始上菜喇!上菜嗰陣，每一道菜都跟一杯酒，酒同食物嗰味道都幾夾嘅。期間，我仲同隔離位嘅食客響見唔到樣嘅情況下握下手，吹下水，感覺幾搞笑。食完四道菜之後就返左上去酒吧，食之前訂落嘅生日甜品。個甜品賣相

Disclaimer: No picture has been taken because we have been enjoying the French 4-course meal in the dark! It has been my hubby birthday and I wanna surprise him with something new. Heard about the concept of dining in the dark for a while and to my suprise, it is not only in NYC / Paris but also in HK now. Nice~saved me a lot of time planning and searching  So what has happened? First you will briefed with the rules and guided to the dark chamber, where you will sit in a super dark cellar. Kevin
