Alchemy & ale is a great addition to upper Lawrenceville (is that what we're calling that area?) and a dramatic improvement over the previous Geno's.
Bartender and host (manager?) were extremely helpful and attentive. Waitstaff were a little confused - but tried their best.
We tried a number of dishes, most were fine to good -but we were left feeling most of the food was missing something.
The fries with Truffle gravy were great, I would have drank the gravy if I could have.
Lobster deviled eggs and lobster roll were OK. But unremarkable ... and those are two dishes if you're going to serve - should be rock stars.
Mussels were good and would order again. I can't remember what else we had at the table - but that's a testament to it's unremarkableness.
High hopes for this place as the menu continues to tweak and adapt. I think the format is great and will go back - just not running back yet.
