    Save your money, and just buy a snack from the cvs down the street. The food was way overpriced. Not good at all. Zero flavor. If you’re thinking about eating here, just don’t. Literally anywhere else would have been better.

    Don’t go to Alter Ego when many staffers abandoned their shifts for the night: no hostess; long wait for a server; longer wait for foods- and when it arrived, our server forgot one of the main courses. She graciously wrote off our drinks, but we really would have rather had the ahi tuna. It was a chaotic mess the Saturday we were there- not likely to be back.

    Menu = A Value = B Ambience = B to A, depending on where they seat you Service = A+ Parking = They only validate valet parking, NOT garage parking Overall, it was a good experience and we would eat there again.

    The Chef Themed Dinner of Sex and the City was fun and the food was outstanding. The drinks that they paired with food were very creative. A great evening to have.
