Tempest - Charleston

Our server Joe was fantastic. Food was outrageously flavorful.

Service was incredible and the food was great! They gave out flowers and complimentary cognac!

The service was wonderful. Both the food and drinks were served in a timely manor and the fresh, hot bread was a nice treat. Unfortunately, both entrees and both sides were really bland. I felt badly asking for salt and pepper, but it was the only thing that gave the food any flavor. The tuna was over cooked and cold and my husband’s whole fish had no flavor other than the sauce poured on top. The after dinner ritual of the rose and the cognac tasting was a nice touch. Sadly, we won’t be back anytime soon.

Fabulous choice for Restaurant Week! Everything was excellent except for the noise level. Our server, Reagan was the best! She answered all food questions we had..and was spot on! We will definitely return!

We went to Tempest for their prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner. It was one of the only restaurants with reservations still available for Thanksgiving dinner. The hostess seemed annoyed that we arrived prior to our reservation time and asked to have a drink at the bar. The food portions were small, but that would have been ok if the quality was better. My mum had the beet salad, risotto, and Black Forest mousse. I had the squash bisque, swordfish, and fall harvest dessert. It was all mediocre at best.
