Fodor's Expert Review Alchemy Cafe
$$
Murphys
American
A casual spot on the eastern edge of town, Alchemy serves sturdy comfort food like braised lamb shank over couscous, seared mahimahi, and meat loaf. Pork belly, fried calamari with roasted jalapeños, and mussels with crusty bread are among the starters that pair well with a bourbon rosemary sour specialty cocktail or an Alchemy Bloody Mary, hopped up with a splash of Firestone Pivo Pilsner.
