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!

Service was excellent and food was very good. It was a great value because they offered complimentary valet parking for dinner and our Broadway show at ASU Gammage, which was a pleasant 10 minute walk through campus.
