everything we ordered was objectively terrible. we had the oysters, seafood stew, fried calamari and the spicy seared wild jumbo shrimp and sea scallops. nothing we got was seasoned properly or really that enjoyable. the entrees weren’t filling enough for the price point. the service was decent but i’m telling you the food was AWFUL AND NOT WORTH IT. the worst part of this entire experience was the the FOOD POISONING that me and my partner dealt with within and hour of leaving the restaurant. undoubtedly from the seafood that was almost certainly frozen and very far from fresh. imagine spending that much on food just to throw it all up. beyond disgusting and disappointing.

Food was proportioned nicely and was excellent. Only negative was very loud so conversation was difficult...at least for us older folks.

Great food. A great selection of new and old and fusion of cultures. Well done. Everything was tasty and cocktails were great too. Staff have. Sense of humor. My bf and I appreciate it. The atmosphere was nice. Upbeat music but quiet.

I have been to tempo before, their portions are definitely smaller, prices are high, which I would happily pay for a fair service, it took them 1 1/2 to serve the food, we were staving by then, no bread, nothing, and then we get the smaller portions. If you want to be a fancy restaurant please have a superb service at least.

We had a great meal, and the service is spot on. I love that they have a venue in the back that office live music or karaoke. We did some karaoke and had a blast. Definitely will be back.

I love going to the Bakbar every Thursday whenever Five Minutes of Fame plays live band karaoke. Such good vibes and great time and good drink and food offerings.

Superbly prepared fish dishes. Excellent roasted Brussels sprouts with blue cheese and bacon. Cleaned the plate with short ribs. Service mixed bag
Shrimp and scallops were great! My husband loved them - perfectly cooked and flavorful in their tomato sauce. I ordered the cashew-encrusted halibut suggested by our well-informed waitress, who was a delight. The fish was absolutely delicious and it came with some great vegetables on the side. There was not a morsel left over. We look forward to a return visit soon.

Great variety of food. Homemade preparation on ingredients is a very nice touch and makes the difference. Cool vibe and great location on Moody St.

We had a wonderful experience at Tempo! The atmosphere was welcoming and stylish, making it a perfect spot for both business and casual dinners. The service was attentive and friendly from start to finish, and the staff went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Each course was well-paced, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the menu. Overall, Tempo delivered on both quality and hospitality. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great dining experience in the area. We'll definitely be back!

Bread was good, mushrooms flatbread was really good, The hunger steak was too salty and not great.
