I like the online menu right there with keywords highlighted. The best and simplest of their websites.

Oh.
Sorry, I thought this was a bit of a joke. Something like LWN Absinthe bar. Let us know what you think.

Thanks B.
I'm surprised none of our regular foodies have been there to give a first hand account. |

Good one, Annie! Caught me off guard.
You're right, Joey. |

looks a little expensive for tapas...
Mini Kobe beef burgers*$15.00 ?
I'd rather laugh with
the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun... |

Hey, it's an adventure trip for city money burned out on city stuff. Take the train to Beverly Farms, eat at ZOES and report back here. Taste test the Mini
Kobe's for us, would you?

No it isn't as far as income is concerned in Prides Crossing and the Farms. One of the top five places in the state, I believe.

Believe it or not, even people with money don't like to be ripped off. That menu is ridiculous.

Let's see how it does over the summer and through next winter with food costs rising 40% over last year in many cases. If consumers struggle, they
struggle. I hear the rumblings around Essex and they aren't pretty.

Let's see if their five restaurants can buck a nationwide trend. Something tells me they're aiming for the big money earners and turistas in big money
places.
There should be more half portions on the menu for us poor folk. |

I have heard many many complaints about all of their restaurants in the last six months. Seems people are not impressed with bad service and so so food. They
have grand ideas but lack substance, is pretty much what the common complaint is.

Instapundit says cut menus down to fifteen things done really well, or none at all.

How many more? | ||

Enough is enough. Sticking to one or two restaurants with rotating themes would be sooooo much more effective. Dilution is not the solution. Great ideas but
way tooo specific and no grand slams. For that kinda dough I want great/exceptional food not just ok.

Youse guys are a tuff crowd.
Zoe's was excellent, but it has great drinks, cool place to hang in the bar. Had the pizzette, crab cakes, mushroom cheese rice ball, sashimi, excellent stuff. I hear good reviews about all their restaurants on the real outside world, funny it's only here from the fogeys that I hear bad service and food complaints. Kobe beef is expensive, check around, you're not getting frozen hamburg patties kids, but if that is your taste and/or budget, I don't suggest you hit this place, fine dining and cheap prices, don't go together, if you are looking for a bargain meal, again, I don't suggest Zoe's. No other restaurants have been able to sustain in this location, so I'm not sure this will either, but good luck to 'em. |

All well and good, but the restaurants that make it around here specialize in consistently prepared and perfectly-served food. They may fill a niche or they
may offer more creative cuisine, but they do it almost perfectly every time. Those qualities aren't the ones ones we hear about with Alchemy & Company.
I do wish them well, but until they work out the kinks, I will expect the unexpected.

My sister ate with eight of them at Zoe's a few weeks ago. Said the atmosphere was pretty fun, food was great, service was great. She thought it expensive
but they had a lot of wine and some people had a few martinis'. If they are priced anything like Latitude..the 'tini's are $10 each.
