   We went to Alter Ergo based on a friend’s recommendation. The place itself was great in ambiance; however, we had higher expectations regarding the food. I asked for a Steak Salad and it was quite disappointing price-quality speaking. 70% of the bowl was lettuce and the rest was steak, avocado, etc.

   Meh. The menu looked good and the ambiance was hip but food was mediocre at best. Appetizer of pickled vegetables and Noble bread consisted of what tasted no better than a jar of pickled odds and ends from the grocery store and each piece of bread was burnt. Tofu salad was ok but bland and my companion’s burger was overdone not medium rare as requested. Won’t be back

   This was such a wonderful experience! We did the Disney Dinner and I have allergies and they were so accommodating and wonderful! The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary! It is a must do experience!

   The entire staff did a fabulous job with the themed Disney Dinner! The food was delicious and creative and the drinks were so fun. You could really feel the excitement and the heart and work that went into crafting such a fun dining experience.

   Great place to visit for a drink or a great meal. Friendly staff, prices are pretty good considering the quality of menu items, love the downtown Tempe vibe. Check out the upstairs pool/lounge area at sunset!! Its a must.

   I use to LOVE + Crave the Katsu Chicken Sandwich so much that I would rave about it to anyone headed to Tempe for a meal. My 1st visit to PHX + the Canopy Tempe transpired in January '21 to which I was WOWED beyond words by my dynamic dining experience, extraordinary interaction with the chefs, my colossal, piping hot + mouthwatering Katsu Chicken Sandwich joined by some of the best fries I've ever eaten! My daughter + I enJOYed this experience twice more before departing PHX. We returned in July '21 + a repeat performance was gifted to us - WOWED Again!! After relocating to PHX in August '21, I treated some friends to my raved about Katsu Chicken Sandwich = everyONE was WOWED! Onward to my September '21 visit where my prized delight had diminished in size, new unfriendly chefs were visible + my familiar servers had departed. I discussed my disappointment with my server + was gifted with my usual fare. Onward, I'd visit monthly throughout '21 + experience the switch + bate size game. I'd watch other patrons receive the Katsu Chicken Sandwich in varying sizes, which I found perplexing. Why should I constantly remind my server about the portion variances + request continuously my proper portion? Why have my sandwiches depleted in stature vs. the grand-looking sandwich pictured on your website? Maybe I was dining consistently to much at Alter Ego, so I scaled back after December '21. On 7.12.22, my daughter + I were in Tempe for a meeting + decided to try the Katsu Chicken Sandwich again. The $16 sandwich was served hot + flavorful, yet the chicken was dismal in size - 1 deflated thin piece (didn't peak outside of the bun as illustrated) of chicken accompanied by a basket of broken (bits + pieces) fries. My daughter was famished + time didn't allow us to reverse the order - honestly, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO!!!

   I had a party of 12 at Alter Ego for brunch. The experience was extremely disappointing. The bar tender was our server. She labeled the guests as numbers and advised not to move seats. She explained this would help her keep track of who ordered what and billing. The bills came all individually which was fine but we were surprised to see that after being numbered they were still wrong. The food was also disappointing the breakfast potatoes, waffle and cinnamon rolls were all hard as a rock and dry. The burger, fries and breakfast flatbread were probably the best menu item ordered. I will not dine at Alter Ego again!

    I was not super impressed with this restaurant. First I could not find the hostess stand to check in for my reservation and no one greeted us when we first walked in. Secondly- we ordered drinks and got them after our appetizer ( fried rice-which was not fried and tasted like rice with soy sauce) and meal before we even got our drinks. The food was fine but nothing special and the service was not good. I really wanted to like this restaurant but sadly will not be returning due to the average food and poor service.

    I was so excited to try this place, my salmon was good but the service left such an impression on me that I don’t think I’ll come back nor recommend this place. For starters, when you come in, there isn’t really a hostess desk, you kind of just wing it and stand wherever while ppl just walk past you in a hurried fashion “appearing” to be busy and in a rush but when we got there, the place was just about empty. We just stood there waiting for someone to acknowledge us. Other ppl we watched come in did the same thing, no one knew where to stand or be and they took forever to acknowledge them. They finally sat us and we just sat there, it took us forever to get service and menus. My friend had to have her meal remade (which ain’t the worst thing), my mom was given the wrong meal with overcooked meat but she was too nice to complain, her drink was awful but again, too nice to say anything. We were trying to look at the menus and the other server comes over and she tries to take it from us because they need it for another table, they only gave us 2 to begin with because they ran out. Everything felt extremely disorganized, hurried, and our being there felt more like an inconvenience rather than a desire. As if we were inconveniencing them for deciding to book a reservation there. I won’t again.

    Wings were under cooked. Steak and chimichurri were both dry (not sure how that’s possible). And, there was an ant in my meal. Pear salad was good but the portion was laughable for the price. Martini and wine were good. Service was good.

    Been here several times and always been happy, last nights server was the slowest, seemed lost and confused, honestly not deserving of a 20% tip I left on a large bill. Won’t likely return. Even though the food was excellent, you can’t expect people to continue to pay high dollar tickets with subpar service.

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Alter Ego. We were immediately greeted with the most amazing scent white tea and thyme scent that all of the Hilton’s use in their properties. The menu for restaurant week was fantastic and our server Raphael was very friendly! We will definitely visit again :-)

    The place is an unassuming restaurant located in the lobby area of the Canopy Hotel but don't be fooled by the small space. This restaurant knows what they're doing! The meal we had was seriously INCREDIBLE. I mean, I would have licked the romesco sauce from the bowl if I wasn't wearing a fancy dress and you know, in public. Our absolute favorite of the night was the creamed corn. Just the most beautifully decadent rich corn perfectly paired with the scallops. With how much corn we ate, it was surprising we weren't tired of it by the end. Each dish presented a new twist on corn and it was delightful. I'd highly recommend anyone try this place. Especially their restaurant week menu. You won't be sorry!

    Located in the hotel lobby. Not the best ambiance. Food was ok but overpriced. Bar prices were stupid pricey. The whole meal was rushed by the staff, resulting in this less than stellar experience. We will never be back.

    We were there on Mother's Day and for the price of $72 per person we were disappointed. The food was good. We asked for coffee and didn't find out it wasn't included until we got the bill.....$8.00 for each cup. Plus over $50.00 extra for tips etc. Our waitress seemed to forget about is as they became more busy. It just wasn't worth it.

    Couldn’t find the right entrance, staff just watched without saying anything then when asking for the special after waiting 20 mins, they said it was upstairs. Went upstairs and waited 10 mins before trying to get helped at the bar which we were then ignored there as well. Left without ever even talking to ANYONE that worked there.

    The food was very good, service was good, location in downtown Tempe was good. I appreciated the complimentary 2 hour free Valet parking. What I didn't know is that this is a lobby restaurant, you basically sit in the lobby. There is some outdoor dining but the street noise is loud. It was relatively quiet in the lobby when I was there but the ambiance, though the surroundings are very nice, wasn't great. I probably won't go back but I wanted to check it out, and, did I mention, the food was very good!
