What a vibe! Such a fun and cute place in Norton commons to grab Venezuelan food. I came here with work people for our dinner club and it was so good! Most of us got the Venezuelan main meal with the plantains, rice and beans. We all split the sampler app!

Ribeye steak with cheese grits
Sarah B.

I was introduced to this restaurant through its TikTok videos and I'm so glad that I found it because it was so good! The ambiance is cozy yet upscale and we were able to get seating for 2 without a wait on a cold Friday evening. I had the red sangria which was fruity and delicious. For an appetizer, my fiance and I had the beef empanadas and the menu didn't lie--it was the best in town. The two dipping sauces were perfect. Both of us had ribeye steaks which were expertly seasoned and cooked. I had the cheese grits and they were melt in your mouth delicious. The service was great--our waiter had wonderful recommendations and was attentive. We will definitely be back for a date night.

Black walnut smoked old fashioned
Melissa S.

Fantastic experience. To start off the black walnut smoked old fashioned put on a show table side. Food was delicious-our table enjoyed the yuca frita with cilantro aioli, pork Alchemy tostones and chicken & steak pepito. Service was top notch and Chef Nelson stopped at our table to check on us. Can't wait to go back!

Best bite of food during my time in Louisville. I had a Pepita sandwich with pork carnitas and it blew my socks off. Fantastic. Upscale but not boujee. Loved everything about it

Choripan
Gypsy G.

I'm super glad they closed the kitchen at 10- and were able to get us very well fed! Mr. Nelson was fantastic and the wait staff were phenomenal! Since it was cool but not cold we opted to sit on the patio, which was nice and well lit. Hated being captured in photos I didn't want to be in since I was not with the folks taking them... I don't like having my photos taken personally just not my thing... lol but otherwise it was nice being on the patio. We started with the Choripan. It's savory buttery and delicious! The spice blends then melds into a citrus zing then followed by the soft buttered bread. It's like a mouth mind meld- 4th wall breaks type of situation. Next time I'll ask for crisper bread cause that would add an extra twist to it- omg lol like the texture to have an extra layer to this effect the whole system is blown wide open. The kid ordered the alchemy burger after prodding Nelson about which he'd choose between her two favorite things lol they're too cute going back and forth over salmon and burgers... She had her eyes rolling while eating it - said it was so flavorful and she loved the fried cheese all on its on but I'm guessing it was wonderful as she didn't really talk much just ate lol I ordered the grilled Picanha steak... with fries. When I say- tender, mind blowingly flavorful, and cooked to perfection at medium... Now, my only damn question is when are we going back???? Seriously one of my new favorite Venezuelan restaurants. Thought the food truck was good.., this was absolutely amazing and delicious doesn't cover it!! Thanks crew! Chefs kiss hit em five times!!!!! ******We ordered dessert to go and will have the brownie and strawberry cheesecake tomorrow with our leftovers- I will update about it!!!

National dish

The food in absolutely amazing. First time here and will definitely be coming back next time I am in town. Service and music is EXCELLENT! I had the national dish it was DELICIOUS!

Empanada

So so good! Perfect date night on a Tuesday. Service was fast and friendly and quality was 10/10, will be back soon!

Bolognese, passion fruit martini
Emily W.

We dropped in Alchemy for the first time tonight and had a lovely date night. Everything was super tasty, the atmosphere was relaxed and charming, and it wasn't too loud to enjoy each others' company. Easy and refreshing night out-- would definitely return.

I ordered the ribeye steak and it was extremely fatty. More the. A typical ribeye would be. I asked for it medium and in some parts of the steak it was raw. I was told before I ordered it that there ribeyes and fairly lean cuts but that's as obviously a lie. I would be afraid to order the filet for the simple fact that it would be cooked to the right temperature of medium or medium rare like I ask. Especially since it's a thicker cut. Our server was extremely pushy on wanting us to add food and drinks to our bill. I thought it was very odd until I saw the check. The check automatically adds 20 percent gratuity to it. And yet there is a option to add extra as a tip. It's a bit ridiculous if you ask me. The atmosphere was really nice and our appetizer was good.

An amazing establishment! I went with a small Group of…read moreladies and we had the best time. Such a nice atmosphere-- felt comfortable with a slight hint of fancy at the same time. Waiter was so knowledgeable of the menu and cuisine, giving recommendations and tips. A nice glass of wine paired with a plata of steak, rice, and beans-- couldn't be that. Everything one menu looked incredible. I will 100% be back.

Yum! The guacamole and plantains were a delicious start. I also very much enjoyed the empanada…read moretrio, which was a unique experience compared to other restaurant empanadas. The table of sauces offered a nice compliment. The cons of the meal was my mojito (and that I wanted a frozen daiquiri but they could only offer it on the rocks). While it tasted nice, the glass was more ice than drink and not worth the price tag. The metal chairs are not comfortable for all guests. The restaurant is quite loud. You will be yelling across the table at each other. I would never come here with a large group because conversation would be impossible. The restaurant takes reservations on Open Table but threatens a charge of $20 pp if you cancel. Based on the crowd waiting for tables, there's no reason this policy should be in place. It was a turn off that almost caused us to pick another spot. Thankfully I took a chance to call and book a table without the request for my credit card. Parking is also tricky in this area. Their parking lot is almost nonexistent! Other spaces are reserved for other buildings. Be careful not to be towed.

The food was delicious and the service was thoughtful and engaging. We loved the Cachapa and Arepas…read morethe most.

!!! NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT ALERT!!!…read more Wow. This is legitimately the closest I have been to tearing up at a meal. My husband discovered this place when he was perusing on Google Maps looking for something else. This was the happiest accident and I could not be happier we visited. I am from Venezuela and this is place is legit. They have foods that other Venezuelan places in the area don't offer, and varieties that are authentic and far better (the empanadas!!). I got the mandocas (plantain and corn horseshoe-shaped fritters), cheese and potato pastelito (like a cross between a pizza pocket and a pierogi, but better in every way), arepa pabellon, and a beef empanada. Everything was sublime. These empanadas are different than ones you may be used to, since they are corn based instead of wheat based, making them many levels better than you can imagine. It was very nostalgic experience. Even without the nostalgia, the food is that good, and so worthwhile heading over here. There's so much more on the menu I wanted to try. Guess I'll have to come back! The staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere inside was joyful, with beautiful murals. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed VIvencia yet, but I looked and sure enough, I've been slacking!…read more After many trips, here is a quick summary of my most recent visit and some observations. TLDR: Love it. Visited today for breakfast with a friend, and it wasn't busy when I arrived, but was surprised at how many people arrived as we ate. It was a workday, and I thought there might be some breakfast meetings taking place, but the crowd trickled in a bit later as the morning lingered. Coffee options abound. As do smoothies and 'wellness shots' which aren't my thing but if you'd like a shot of healthy greens and a spice I've never heard of, enjoy! I had black coffee and it tasted better than most breakfast shots. They have a wide variety of lattes and other fancy custom options like the strawberry shortcake latte, etc. Ordered the breakfast burrito (sausage) and it was very good. I think I had the hangover burrito before (same thing but with gravy on top) and would opt for that one again next time. I had the strawberry banana pancakes at a prior visit as well, and remember them fondly. My dining companion had biscuits and gravy and said they were good. He is a man of few words. For dinner, they have a great menu that is 'latin flavors' as they say - everything from traditional Mexican food you'd find elsewhere to Argentinian options and more. They have great food. On a nice day, the patio is great other than the street traffic noise. This is a great option if you're wanting to get away from the other Mexican restaurants in town but still want something along those lines.
