Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Alter Ego is a charming spot, offering a "fun environment" and "excellent food" with standout dishes like the Ego Sando and Korean Ribs Bowl. While service can be slow during busy times, the staff, especially servers like Brian and Carl, are praised for their dedication. Ideal for events, its proximity to Gammage makes it a convenient choice for pre-show dining.

    Plenty of food, but some things over cooked, others undercooked, some over salted, some under salted. Staff was amazing. Drinks were strong.

    We absolutely love the theme dinners. The staff really get in to it and make the dining room shine! The chef and kitchen staff also seem to really enjoy introducing the menu items per course. Thr food and drink are always delicious. The valet people are also wonderfully patient and helpful when we have trouble with the app. Thank you all for making these nights out so special. Cheers!

    Slow service and the meal was slightly underwhelming. But it’s a bar in a hotel lobby. So who cares that much? 🤷‍♀️

    The food and service were excellent. Only reason for 4 stars was that we were there for dinner and show at ASU Gammage where you valet your car have dinner walk to the show and back after the show. The only issue was they only had one guy on valet after the show. Took 40 minutes to get the car. Kind of defeated the purpose.

    Been there several times but this time they lost our food order twice within an hour, so we walked out. They did come after us and finally got us our order with no charge.

    I had noted it was a Bachelorette Party and I was hoping that would have been recognized and the bride given some extra attention. The restaurant ambience is very nice.

    Great spot if not a bit difficult to find. Food and service were very good. Minimal noise level was a welcome change from many restaurants.
