I have passed by this bar numerous times and would say "we need to stop here sometime for date night" to my hubby. Well, we finally did and it did not disappoint!!
This place was PACKED on a Sunday night. We found two seats at the bar and ordered ourselves some drinks. Now if you have ever been to NOLA you know the drinks are cheap and stiff and Alchemy reminded me of the cocktails there. I was good with my one drink. We ordered the sweet potato fries and batch bake house bread for apps. The "fries" were more like soft baked sweet potato wedges. Served with an aioli and jalapeƱo blackberry jam. We LOVED this!! Sweet potatoes are my favorite starchy vegetable and these were prepared so well. The dipping sauces were fabulous. I could have bought a jar of both to take home. For our main course we got the stuffed grilled cheese with their seasonal salad as a side. We decided to split this. The portion was very generous and they really do stuff that grilled cheese. It had broccoli, carrots, tomatoes not your usual run of the mill grilled cheese.
The only thing that's a bummer about this place - CASH ONLY and really small dining area and they always seem to be packed (I guess that's a good thing too).
