Alter Ego is a ground floor restaurant and bar where every day is about celebrating life and living in the moment. We never take ourselves too seriously, yet are always prepared to rise to the occasion. We have an appreciation for the rich history and heritage of Tempe and will look to add a fun twist of flair to make room for new memories for generations to come. We are a little tongue and cheek, yet will always make you feel special.

Step through the gates of Halloween Town for five meticulously crafted courses inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas, each paired with a hauntingly delightful drink conjured up from Jack Skellington's own cauldron. From eerie appetizers worthy of Oogie Boogie's lair to darkly decadent desserts fit for Santa Jack himself, this dinner promises an unforgettable journey through a world where the strange, the spooky, and the wonderfully unusual come to life on your plate.

$89 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Book on Open Table using the link in our bio.

Please note any dietary restrictions in your reservation, and we'll do our best to accommodate — even Sally knows a thing or two about substitutions. Cancellations within 7 days of the event will not be refunded — this is Halloween Town, after all, and once the cauldron's bubbling, there's no turning back.

🍸 Shaken, stirred, and absolutely delicious. Last night’s James Bond Chef’s Table was a mission accomplished. Thank you to every 007 who showed up in style and made the evening one to remember! From the first course to the final toast, you brought the glamour and we brought the flavor. 🎬🔪

⚡ Next mission: Hogwarts. Our Harry Potter-themed dinner is coming September 10th at 6 PM, and seats are already going fast. Reserve your table now — this one will sell out. Link in bio to book. ✨🍷
