I don't like to talk about Embers


Opened downtown by Atwoods' daughter(I think). Mostly has gourmet pizza and salads.

I think you're going to get differing opinions on that. I probably give it the edge, but they are different levels of place. It's the Wendy's vs 5 Guys thing

Embers is better. I finally ate there. I like the set up much better as well. I don't have to predict my beer consumption.

I had never been to Alexandria before and found Embers through Yelp. I had the Pad Thai, and it was pretty good, but my boyfriend had the Butcher pizza, and that was definitely awesome. Wouldn't mind having a place like this in Baton Rouge.

Finnegans had tapped a keg of Parade Grounds last week, it was so good.

Plus the Mirror Room is open with a nice bar, or you could have a drink at Diamond Grill, and Embers has a good bar too. So many options in Alexandria.


In a block, you got four restaurants and 4 bars, and two hotel renovations going on.

It's funny. You rarely such as a poster, but you excel at it on this topic.

You people act as if Ferriday, Jonesville, Leesville, Deridder, Minden, Winnfield, Olla, Natchitoches, Mansfield, Crowley, Jenning, Ville Platte etc do not exist.

Yea I cant tell you where pretty much any of those towns are. Would be easier to just throw darts at a map. Alexandria isnt that much different to me.

The GG's comment was meant to be sarcastic. The place was an eye opener the one time I went though

You shouldn't say that. Makes you look ignorant.
