The restaurant is good, but not for large groups. We had our small business's Christmas lunch there but it took over two hours to get our food. We had 3 children with our large party that were under 3 years old and when served their drinks, they were given them in normal glasses, which was asking for a mess! We had to instruct the waiters to serve the little kids cups with lids... the food when it finally arrived was cold, served to the wrong people and by then the kids were losing their minds. Yes this restaurant is not designed with kids in mind, but no one should have to wait 2 hours for their food. Period.
My first time going to this place. I had been there before, but this one is heavily promoted and it wasn't what I expected at all; it didn't match my expectations.
We had a wonderful time - I love the different takes on traditional Mexican as well as the Japanese offerings. We plan on going again to try something different.
Party of seven for a birthday lunch. Everybody enjoyed their food, but vegan options were limited, (I didn't realize that when I made the reservation,) but this is where the birthday boy wanted to go. Reservation was for 2 PM on Saturday. Was told the sushi bar doesn't open until 3 PM. Both brunch and regular menu available, except sushi.  I ordered the House salad and got a Caesar. Ordered a peach iced tea and got regular. Wasn't in the mood to make a fuss so just ate it. 
vibe is fun, food is no good, cocktail is average. I would recommend only coming for some sort of happy hours to enjoy the fun

Saw recent reviews on Open Table which weren't that great but I also looked on Yelp and they had high ratings so we gave it a shot. Unfortunately, I would have to agree with the Open Table reviews as they're more accurate. Made a reservation for 3 but only had a setting for two. Wrong menus were provided. My friend's drink/food order came out wrong but was corrected. It would be nice if the food order comes out at the same time as well. The drinks were watered down so overall I would have to pass.
The food it's no correct we need to wait for long time the service no good no experience I don't like that
Heidi was our server and she was great!!! The sushi/sashimi wasn't great. They had ran out of sashimi and substituted it for Tuna. We also ordered carnitas that fell off the bone which was our favorite dish. The drinks were weak so I had to order two extra shots. The ambience was loud which was expected for a World Series game day.
Food was good, a little overpriced. We had to ask for kids menu and california rolls because theyre not on the menu. Terrible service compared to the big table next to us ordering drinks and tons of appetizers, I guess our waitress thought we weren't worth the effort (me, wife and 7 year old son and we ordered no alcohol), so I tipped accordingly. Only go here if your with a big group, plan on ordering tons of drinks, dressing like your going to LA clubs and dont mind pretentious people serving you.

We loved our dinner here! Service was outstanding! Their new guava mezcal cocktail was so delicious. The food was superb. We ordered steak fajitas (not pictured), carnitas, queso fundido with chorizo, and a delicious butter cake with ice cream. We are very happy we came here. Will be back.

I really wanted to love this location. The drinks are still amazing, but the food and overall vibe feel different, it's much more family-oriented than the original Tempo. The space itself is beautiful, but it just doesn't have the same energy we loved about the original. Also, $16 for a Butter cake dessert feels way overpriced, which was disappointing. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back.
Josue Corona was a great server! Attentive and friendly! We celebrated my friend’s birthday and he made the experience better.

Food is not great and overpriced. I've been here twice and both times the food has been very underwhelming.
