Chef's Themed Dinner - Star Wars
US$89.00 per person
Prepaid
May 4, 2025 only
Celebrate May the 4th with an immersive culinary journey through the rise and fall of the Galactic Republic. Inspired by the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, this chef-curated dinner blends elegance, drama, and bold flavors—from the refined tastes of Naboo’s royal courts to the smoky intensity of Mustafar’s lava rivers. Guests will savor dishes that evoke Coruscant’s high society, the cloning facilities of Kamino, and even the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker’s fall, all crafted with creative plating and unexpected twists. A lightsaber cocktail or Yoda-inspired elixir will keep the Force flowing throughout the meal. "This is the dinner you’re looking for." ✨ May the forks be with you.

I was in the mood for a good salad and Alter Ego delivered with their Asian Chopped Salad, great chill atmosphere, and live music playing on a Tuesday night.

Limited menu. Food was above average. Shrimp and roasted brussel sprout appys were excellent. Pork chop entree was cooked perfectly with a nice sauce. The chicken entree was a bit overcooked/dry, but tasty nonetheless. Nice outside, street-side sitting. Overall, would come back and recommend.

Had a fantastic Girls Day out here at Alter Ego. We went for dinner and Emma was amazing with her suggestions and even providing a yummy drink for my friend and myself. We all ordered the Miso Salmon! We all enjoyed it. I will definitely be back for that dish. I ordered their flatbread as well. I was extra hungry. Everything was so good. We had a great time and Emma our server was amazing and super sweet! Thank you for making our night so fun and wonderful!
