It was so nice being able to go into a TRENDY/ nice restaurant and be able to order what I want. I'm used to going to these quick, casual, vegan restaurants so it was refreshing. Parking is a little confusing and crowded but it wasn't bad. I believe their parking lot was like one building down but we found a parking spot pretty quick. We went in around 1:30 and I believe we just missed the brunch crowd but it was still a decent amount of people and I did not feel like people were sitting on top of us. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation which I didn't realize that we needed one. Still not sure, but the bartender and all of the other staff were very pleasant. The food came out at a decent time as you can imagine with plant based food, and was delicious. The mimosas I had were amazing. Very different. Can't wait to take all of my non vegan friends. I am so happy to be able to say that!

My family of 5 visited Alchemy for Brunch…read more First, my wife and son waited 30 minutes for drinks, and when they arrived they were the wrong drinks. They both ordered iced Cinnamon Toast Crunch lattes, and both received a hot version thereof. As for the food, my daughter ordered her steak medium, and it was far overcooked. This is inexcusable - both to cook AND to present if you're a food runner - but she didn't want to make a fuss, so she kept it and ate half of it. In addition, the steak was butchered badly, with a far amount of unrendered fat. It's 4oz of strip, not an 18oz ribeye. Whoever was expediting should've had it recooked. Additionally, the fries were soggy, the eggs were far from over easy, the hollandaise was bland, and the steak-covering 'tomato aioli' (which looked or tasted like neither) just seemed a way to try to hide the mistakes with the steak. Please see the attached photos for documentation of her dish. The other food issue was with my wife's (beautifully plated) Japanese pancakes. When I've ordered these in the past - or made them, or even relied on the description in your menu - they've been light and fluffy. Generally, this is accomplished via folding in egg whites, which lends an airiness to the dish. Deflation is normally a concern, but not with yours. It was as though dense pancake batter was simply cooked in a ring mold. In terms of the service in general, it was subpar, to put it kindly. My eldest daughter never had her water refilled, and in general the waits were too long between checkups at each stage of the meal. And finally, the check. When the check arrived, it included three additional drinks beyond what we ordered. After pointing it out to the waiter, and him having it corrected, it still contained (contains, actually) an additional drink. Regardless, I went ahead and paid it, because everyone was annoyed and ready to go. Somewhat slow service I can understand, especially with the labor issues that have plagued service industries of late. I still tipped $22, because my wife and I both used to work in restaurants and understand that people should be paid a fair wage regardless. That said, a $170 breakfast - without alcohol - should be memorable... for good reasons. I'm giving it a 2, because the presentation was definitely instagram-ready. But it's been 5 days since I emailed them feedback, and not so much as an automated reply. So maybe even the 1 was undeserved...

Everyone I encountered on site this past week was so courteous, hardworking and welcoming. If you are attending an event here, definitely bring a sweater or wear layers, as the rooms were quite cold. Wear comfy shoes too and expect a lot of walking and long bathroom and Starbucks lines, in between conference sessions. But overall, a nice experience here. The food court area offers some quick and affordable lunch options. There are also restaurant and hotel options within a short walk. Be cautious when crossing the public transit lines, as the trains move fast.

The Charlotte Convention Center was probably the most convenient convention I've experienced to…read moredate. LOCATION I attended a conference that was held at the Charlotte Convention Center for a work week and was surprised at how close everything was to the convention. It was surrounded by hotels, restaurants, Whole Foods, a CVS, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. It was easy to get around Uptown from the convention. INSIDE THE CONVENTION: It was easy to navigate within the convention, too, as the signs were clearly labeled. The only thing I thought was odd were the rooms in 206-212 (where you'd have to go down escalators and then come back up). I would have labeled it a different number sequence so as not to be confusing with the other set of rooms in the 200s. I loved that there was a bridge that connected the convention to our hotel (2nd floor of The Westin), as well as access from the NASCAR Hall of Fame directly in front of the Crown Ballroom! CUSTOMER SERVICE & STAFF: Each day during the conference, my coworker and I would walk from our hotel (The Westin, which was across the street) and we would be greeted by the friendliest door greeters / information desk. Also, we went around the Richardson Ballrooms, exhibit hall, smaller rooms, terrace (roof), Crown Ballroom, etc. it was carpeted so it was easy to walk on. The convention staff including the Food & Service team were really nice and were attentive; they made sure to keep the food area tidy and cleared away trash from the tables. The bartenders serving drinks were organized as well. DINING OPTIONS INSIDE THE CONVENTION: The convention had other dining options: Starbucks, Bojangles, Einstein Bagels, and another place to purchase food. Overall, I enjoyed the ease of getting around the convention center, the proximity to hotels and restaurants in Uptown Charlotte, the amenities they offered, and the attentive staff at Charlotte Convention Center.

The space itself is lovely in that effortless way where the design doesn't try too hard but still feels polished and intentional. The indoor area has plenty of room to breathe and the deck is a real standout, a spot that makes you want to linger a little longer and sip a drink. Parking, though, is its own little adventure. It's not impossible, but it's definitely something you need to plan for unless you like circling like a shark. Arriving early is the move and knowing the small tricks helps, like the architectural firm's spots that are blocked only until 5pm and fair game after that. Once you're parked and inside, the stress melts off pretty quickly, but the logistics are worth keeping in mind so you can actually enjoy what is otherwise a genuinely great venue.
