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.

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.

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!

It has been a few years since our last visit. We loved it then and love it now. We are not sure why we don't visit more frequently. Food is great service falls exactly between professional and friendly.

Tempo is the kind of restaurant we have been looking for for a casual Friday night dinner. We sat in the bar in comfortable seats. The food was very good & their drink list is amazing.
Karen
Everything was excellent. Food and drinks were great. We had 2 servers that were very friendly and attentive.
Phil
Awesome food! Everyone at the table had a different variety of fish and all commented it was among the best ever! Not only fresh and perfectly cooked, but also interesting preparations that honored the natural qualities of each fish. The service from Bryan was also super. He was knowledgeable, warm, and perfectly comfortable making suggestions. We will be returning!

The creamy brûlée needs more love the eggs was scrambled need more cream and the espresso martini needs attention

When you arrived in order to view the menu you have to log into their website with a QR code. After figuring out how to use their wifi we were able to view the menu. We placed our drink orders and reviewed the menu. The waitress returned to take our order and by the time she returned the steak was sold out. There wasn't any steak or hamburger or any kind of beef left on the menu. My husband really wanted a steak and he was very disappointed. The salmon that he chose was good but he really wanted steak. We have dined here many times and this is the first time that this has happened.

Brian was a wonderful server, perfectly attentive, informative and fun! The food was really delicious! We enjoyed the pb&j cauliflower and sweet potato bravas - both excellent! My veggie friend loved the risotto and two of us ordered the beet salad with grilled chicken which was outstanding! GF (even though we're not) brownie sundae was a perfect ending to share. Highly recommend!!
So Tempo used to be our favorite restaurants years ago so we decided to try it again. The bread load was amazing. My husband and I split the miso hake and the chicken parm. The hake was unbelievable and the chicken parm was so tough that I couldn't get my knife through it. Our friends had the swordfish and loved it. Just a very small piece The lobster butter roll was good as well.

We hadn't been to Tempo in many years and were pleasantly surprised. The tuna/salmon rice cake appetizer was tasty. It was a huge portion which we should have shared. Glad that we hadn't placed our entree order so I could scale back. My husband had the salmon very good. I opted for the greek salad with shrimp. My salad was overdressed considering that the deliciously cooked shrimp was more like a scampi. The combo didn't work well together. I would order again but just ask for the shrimp on the side. My friend loved her watermelon salad which looked fabulous. It was her second time having the cashew crusted fish which I would definitely order. Her husband had the wolf fish which he enjoyed. We had a fun time and will definitely go back.
