    We were really excited for the Star Wars experience but left overall disappointed. The food was not ideal, beef overcooked and salad was bland. The drinks were definitely fun, but lacked much overall taste. We were seated at the farthest end near the entrance and could barely hear a thing from the announcers on the speakers. Unfortunately our whole table was in agreement in the experience.

    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.

    We celebrated our anniversary with friends, and asked the waitress to pace our bottle of wine and appetizers, before bringing dinner, and it was perfect! So much enjoyed!!

    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.
