I would like to say this WAS my favorite restaurant to come to when I visited seaside till today. The service was horrible our server was very dismissive and only came to our table a couple times. It was wasn't busy either. Our water had stuff in it. And when my food came out the potato was extremely undercooked I was shocked and my sever Ariah was no where to be found I actually had to get up and ask for a new potato because she never came back after dropping off our food. And when she brought my new potato she said "it's not my fault I don't make the food" like obviously you don't make the food but it is your responsibility as a sever to make sure the food is up to standard. When I asked for a manager there was apparently none on shift. We expressed our frustration with her and she was extremely defensive and didn't let us speak. Didn't take any accountability for the way she treated us. I'm sad to say I'll never be back because of Ariah. I'll also never recommend this restaurant to anyone again.

Excellent food and service! I had the steamed clams at lunch and it was not too much but rather just the right amount of food. It came with delicious sourdough bread that was perfect for soaking up all the delicious butter/wine sauce that the clams were steamed in. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting seafood!

Oyster Poboy and onion rings
Sean A.

amazing no. but had a great experience. In Seaside with my 3 year old and took her out for dinner. The staff from greeter and sever were friendly with my daughter. As for food the oyster poboy could have had toastier bread but the oysters were pleasant and pro-tip upgrade $2 to beer batter onion rings. Kids fish and chips $10 was two pieces of fish of good size. The best part was the clam chowder. Have I had better yes. But was flavorful and the way I like creamy but not that overly flowered thickened type. I could taste the onion and celery mild hints. And my kid devoured it (and some call me picky) Overall a nice evening out

Kitchen Sink for 2!

The Kitchen Sink for 2 hit the spot! We went saucy and do not regret it. What a variety and fun dining experience!

Crab cakes
Darcy M.

Wow, is all I can say! The food was delicious. We had crab cakes and a combination boil that did not disappoint. Just spicy enough to be perfect! The service was top notch. Will definitely eat here again!

French fries were dry and chewy. Hamburger was underwhelming and also dry. In the positive side, nice atmosphere and music

I genuinely question how this establishment continues to operate in its current condition. Beyond…read morethe visibly run-down and unsanitary environment, there appear to be serious concerns regarding its operations and responsible service practices. The establishment is known for significantly over-pouring alcoholic beverages. While some patrons may view this as a positive, excessive alcohol service is irresponsible and raises legitimate concerns about compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Even more concerning is the apparent willingness to serve individuals who are visibly intoxicated and then allow them to leave and operate motor vehicles. This presents a serious and potentially dangerous risk to the public. The overall condition of the establishment is dirty, poorly maintained, and unacceptable. More importantly, the apparent lack of responsible alcohol service raises concerns that should not be dismissed. It is extremely troubling that these issues appear to persist without meaningful intervention. I strongly believe the appropriate city authorities and law enforcement agencies should investigate this establishment and determine whether it is operating in compliance with all applicable health, safety, liquor, and public-safety regulations. The situation warrants serious attention before someone is seriously injured or killed.

With little option, we sat in the theater seats before Nicole approached us and offered us a table! She had amazing customer service was going above and beyond to ensure that we all sat together since it was a special night for us! Jeremy was also an AMAZING DJ who was constantly hyping up the crowd!! HOWEVER! When we were trying to give Nicole a tip, we were told to give it to the manager. When we mentioned how amazing she was with giving out goodies and going above and beyond to ensure every party was comfortable... the manager told us she had gotten in trouble for giving us the table! Extremely unprofessional for a manager to share information about employee discipline but also to give said discipline for giving amazing customer service... I hope Nicole actually receives the tip and knows that she gave us an amazing party!! -1 star for unprofessional staff and manager

Turns out they keep it raised until about 4 o'clock while they brew beer behind the theater, then the screen comes down later for basketball, games, and movies. Honestly, that just made me appreciate the place even more. I walk all over Seaside trying different spots, little hidden places, tourist places, all of it, and somehow this still ends up being my favorite lunch spot in town. The food never disappoints. Ever. The prices are shockingly good for what you get, and they somehow manage to get food out fast without sacrificing quality. What I love most is the space. Even when town is packed, you are not jammed in elbow to elbow with people. Families, kids, locals, everybody just looks comfortable there. Big open historic theater, great food, quick service, sports on the screen later in the day, and good atmosphere without the chaos. Screen up or screen down, this place is one of my favorites. Thanks guys for always being awesome.

I have a few bottles of "the good stuff" stashed around my house that I always say I'll open during a special occasion - which never seems to arrive . It so happens that Alchemy has an extensive whiskey list which included a couple of my "reserve" bottles. This was the perfect opportunity for me to taste them. I had a flight of three delicious bourbon pours, THEN was told about a special rye whiskey which, well, I had to try as well. So much fun, I enjoyed each of my pours at a cost that didn't break my piggy bank. Meanwhile, my wife loved her mango margarita. We also had the ceviche and the smoked crab dip - the crab dish was especially good. All in all, a memorable evening. Recommended!

The menu doesn't match the one online but I still wanted to give it a shot. My husband got the burger and there is no other option than the side salad for it-- why no fries or something? Also when my husband ordered the burger the waitress said how would he like it cooked- he said medium. She says good that's usually how the cook does it anyways. It came out cooked all the way through. We were the only two people there. The board was good, drinks were very very mid. The restaurant itself has great potential but honestly the menu doesn't match and I felt 80$ didn't justify our dinner.

My brother in law is lactose intolerant, not just staying away from dairy fad, but for real has a problem with dairy. He got the burrito because it didn't list having cheese or sour cream, and my sister even asked her when she was taking the order if it did and she said no. Also they serve room temp water (no ice) and didn't ask about other drinks. My buffalo wings were good, my nephews plain were good, my sister got chiquilltas (?) and she enjoyed them but my brother in laws burrito came and it was all rice (it came cut in half) very little chicken and when he bit in there was cheese. When he called the waitress over and he showed her, she took the piece of cheese, squished it between her pointer and thumb repeatedly and then wiped it back on to his plate. And then looked at him like ‍, he said to take it off his bill.
