The food were really good. I forgot to take pictures. We messed up the time on our reservation but they were able to seat us. We mainly got the tapas: meatballs, vegetables, mussels, and calamari dishes. They were all good. The entree was the steak, it was little bland for me and too much fat. Overall food was great. The server is horrible which ruined the dinner. He got me the wrong soda, and never refill my water. He spent most of the his time talking to the table next to us without even looking over to our table. The restaurant is not even big. I had to break up his conversation to asked him to fix my drink and add more water after we ate all of our first course (all those tapas dishes). Not once he came over to check on us once we received our food. He had a different server came up to asked us if we want any dessert. After we said no, he quickly came back with our check within a minute. The runner that dropped off the food was wonderful, I wish the tips would go to him instead. Overall food was good, service was horrid. I would change different server if I ever come back.

What happened to this place? Did it change ownership in the past few years? Food was awful - service just as bad.

Been coming to Tempero yearly for the past 10+ years. Always an amazing culinary experience. Our waiter, Oscar was awesome.

Why? ??!! We loved this place. Most was still good but we’ve been getting the seafood pallia every time we’re in town for literally 5 years. This time is was not good!!!! Used to have a small lobster tail, like 6 shrimp, the saffron rice was delicious and it had small splatterings of some type of cream sauce. This time it was just bad. The rice was soggy, pasty and bland. No cream sauce. No lobster tail, 3 shrimp. It had clams which were so fishy I literally spit it out. The muscles were mushy and bad tasting. Sad! Was one of our favorites, now we’re looking for somewhere new……

We have eaten here many times. The albondigas soup was great as usual. So was the bread and the beet salad. Two people ordered the seafood paella and were disappointed. They have had it many times in the past, the rice was different, less seafood. I had a pasta that was ok, another person had the mushroom pasta and it was good. Our wine was a good value. Beautiful, pleasant venue and the service was great. Please go back to the old paella style.

We ordered the Paella. Very bland. Like no flavor at all. Tasted like they added flour to saffron rice to thicken the sauce. We felt it was overpriced for what you get. We won’t be back.

Datiles were amazing!! Loved the creamy pastas--rigatoni and Alfredo!
We loved it! The summer salad, bacon wrapped dates, squid ink seafood paella and wine were all delish. I read thru the reviews beforehand and was on the lookout for the grayhaired gentleman and there was one who seated us, who I believe was the owner. He was nice to us! Consider your sources when reading reviews I guess. 😝 Highly recommend!

Great variety, tasty food, good wine list. Would have given 5 stars were it not for the desert menu

Delivered wrong pasta order. Then removed it after 2 bites. Salmon for salad was well done not rare as requested. Water not refilled quickly and restaurant not busy. Won't be back. Remember when. It was good but last few visits disappointing
Diane
Lovely family owned and run restaurant. Fresh, creative salads and appetizers with delicious pastas and mains. A must visit when in the area!

It was a stretch to give this place three stars. The bruschetta was so garlicky that it was overwhelming. I really enjoy garlic, but there were so much raw garlic on this that I was just overpowering. After that my seafood paella was very bland almost to the point of being without flavor. My wife had the rigatoni and meat sauce, which was slightly better, but nothing to write home about. Overall, I don't think the food here is very good.
