Tempo

Met another couple for dinner at Tempo. We started with a freshly baked sourdough loaf and steak and cheese eggrolls. The loaf was warm! The eggrolls were fun. They arrived sliced in half with an artistic design of spicy ketchup in the plate. Next, we got a couple of fish dishes that were cooked to perfection. The strip steak was big enough to feed the table (not quite but it was a very generous portion). The accompaniments to the main plate were freshly made and really brightened not only the palate but was nice to look at. Ending with the brownie sundae with homemade vanilla ice cream. The brownie was amazing so fluffy it just melted in your mouth. Will return again!

Our server was Sam. She was very good. She did seem new, but if we had questions she was able to get the answers for us. The oysters were excellent very clean. Their potstickers are always a great go to. The paella was just OK. Not a lot of flavor and the rice had a different consistency than paella we are used to. The lobster roll was very bland. The barbecue chicken and ribs were incredible. Tempo is a great place for various types of food. You do have to check the menu frequently as it does change.  we usually sit out the bar however last night we were seated in the dining room. No fault of the establishment or the waitress but we had a party of eight little kids and five parents who just were not watching their children at all. They were running back-and-forth being loud and not being supervised. It did not ruin our experience. It just made it very loud

First of all, the waitress was horrible. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks and over an hour to get our appetizers, and she came back twice after we ordered our main course, saying that they were out of those dishes. We were told by the waiter that we could have our food any way we wanted because it's a scratch kitchen, and they still managed to disregard any changes that were made. The food was OK and so was the price. We made an 8pm reservation, and we didn't leave until 10:30 PM due to the waiter.

Server didn't know how to respond when my friend said her meal was bad. Instead he offered her another drink. A bridal shower was 2 tables over and was too loud. They should have been seated in a private room. Bar ran out of ingredient to make one of our drinks. Big disappointment.

Food excellent. Server seemed to be off rhythm when some ordered cocktails other apps. After we were served, chked in once, but should have checked again was slow to clear plates. Server wasn't around after we got our food.
