I love the food , atmosphere & decor. Something different for SS Marie.

A hidden gem, great service and food.
Very attentive staff, friendly service, food was excellent! The only recommendation I have would be to slow down speed of bringing different courses out. It felt a bit rushed, we were still working on appetizer when entrees were served but still a great experience- food was excellent and hot! Great cocktails too!

A few menu items -incl desserts- were not available which was a bit disappointing however the food we did choose was excellent. We wondered if givien the price of food if restaurants everywhere will start downsizing their menus just to avoid waste?? The risotto is fantastic! The special of scallops and linguine was very much enjoyed at our table as well as the huge Caesar salad with crispy pancetta. Service was very good. Tables are comfortable with privacy which is nice. Would definitely go again —- hoping they will have the bakedAlaska. !!!

Hubby had the $64.00 steak and enjoyed it. The rest of the group had various apps and salads and although good, all felt it wasn't worth the price asked. Very limited menu. Rebecca, our server, was terrific - she made the evening enjoyable. Most likely won't go back although a new menu expected shortly.

The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. The service was great and the small menu choices gave something for everyone. The food was good. Enjoyed that you could also watch the kitchen prepare it

Mother's Day brunch: $43 per person. One of us requested a steak knife in order to cut through the pea meal bacon and tough English muffin. The only vegetarian option was pancakes with apple compote. Again, for $43. Twice, the server forgot to bring cutlery. She seemed frazzled. The place was not busy, however. We were never offered coffee (but requested it with dessert). The crème brûlée was not fully set, nor could the tiramisu stand. For the price, the whole experience was pretty disappointing. I'd heard good things about dinner at Tempo, so maybe I'll give that a try someday?

I guess we had high expectations on this brunch. There isn't as many brunches in the city and from our experience at Tempo a few times before we thought it was going to be nothing but GREAT. Price: was fair as we got Entrée, Main I had the shrimp cocktail, the tomato sauce was fantastic. My husband had the Goat fondue salad (sort of) and it was fair enough. My main was the Benedict's, a dish in which I had to ask for a steak knife due to the meat being way thick, hard bread, although the bread had a good flavor, we also tried the salmon which was simply at its best; there are so many ways of creating a flavorful salmon! Tiramisu didn't have a good presentation, it looked almost as if it was melting, which I think it was, my pavlova was okay. I asked for a coffee and the waitress said it wasn't included, and clearly it said so on the menu, however, this allows me to touch base on the fact that, it is clear Tempo doesn't have their own staff, as a matter of fact their service becomes poor as the servers lack of experience in serving and don't have knowledge on the menu. Our server brought the Entrées and the Main dishes at the same time, we had to ask to take back the Main courses, so we could have enough time to eat and enjoy our entrées. Not saying the fault relies on someone, but the decisions made by the organizers/owners. I had worked in the past in such business and maybe this is why I am more picky and know what I want exactly. We still visit the place for dinner occasionally as we like their innovation in dishes, sadly this brunch wasn't our best experience at the place.

I was so excited to visit Tempo as the menu online was filled with lots ‘Mediterranean’ options. Unfortunately the head chef has changed and therefore the menu has changed. There were very few actual Mediterranean options, seemed like mostly food you can get at any other Italian restaurant in the Sault. They took out most of the things I was looking forward to trying. The food we ordered was alright. The service was excellent and the food fast, servers and management were friendly. So sad we missed out on the old menu!

The charcuterie board was extremely good. The chicken was beautiful in taste and presentation. Everything was well received excepting the appetizers....one guest had what I thought was rice balls and we had the sardines....the tagliatelle seafood dish was great. We were well taken care of and that was excellent...we would have liked our food to come out faster. Other commitments for some guests. Thank you for your great efforts.
Following the announcement of MCFN's Makwaw Elder's complex. We directed to resume at the festivities at the Marconi for a luncheon. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing, for example bagels, cream cheese, locks with capers and other scrumptious sandwiches, fruit and desserts.

The dry aged 32oz ribeye platter seemed expensive when first looking at the menu however, it's for 2. All I can say is, the plate isthe most delectable ribeye I have ever tasted in Sault Ste. Marie and Toronto for that matter. I was not disappointed in the least.Perfection!

Great food and vibe! Restaurant is clean and service was on point and friendly! Prices are expensive but worth it! ?
New Year's Eve. We had a wonderful meal. Enjoyed some delectable appetizers from the special menu for the evening. The mushroom tart was our favourite. The dark chocolate frozen mousse with blueberry sauce was amazing for dessert. As always we enjoyed our main courses of Chicken Coq au Vin and and Octopus Carbonara. Looking forward to returning as soon as we are able to so we can treat ourselves to some of our other favourite menu items like the Braised Beef Short Ribs with Roast Fingerling Potatoes. Thank you Tempo!
