Stopped by for dinner 2 days ago while in Waltham area. restaurant on a busy street. Parking is a lil hard to find if it's on a Saturday. But we found parking a block away next to a school. Nice restaurant w friendly welcoming staff. We ordered the sourdough loaf w honey butter, bang bang shrimp,fried Brussels sprouts and the autumn harvest salad. Generous portions. Sourdough bread was so good w the honey butter. The salad is a big portion n Sharable. Brussels sprouts was so good w blue cheese crumble n bacon. Any ban shrimp was ok. Thought it would be mixed w seasonings but came w a dipping sauce. For entrees we ordered the short ribs, pan seared sockeye salmon, shrimp stuffed sea bass and butternut squash risotto w buratta . They all tasted good n generous portions. We topped it off and shared the warm apple crisp and the tres leches cake. Yummy . Tx u for a great dinner.

Overall good. We had the fried oysters yum, the Greek salad very yum, and the tagliatelle with beef which was a bit watery and needed a bit more spice for my taste, pasta consistency excellent. Also had the chicken parm which was very good especially the pesto linguine just very big so be warned. The triple sorbet very good. The “I can’t even” drink was excellent.

I hesitate to say how good it is because its already hard to get a seat. Great food and I appreciate they don't over-charge for the wine. The mixed drinks are strong but yummy so be aware!

Took my daughter here for dinner. Ordered her a lemonade twice- first was a soda water and second we have no idea what juice they gave us but it wasn’t lemonade. Got a salad with salmon, which was way overcooked and super dry. While we ate I watched one bartender blowing her nose and not wash her hands before handling drink orders, then the second bartender eating behind the bar, coughing into his hands near the drinks waiting to go to tables, telling a coworker he thinks he could be sick, and not washing his hands either. Won’t be back.

We asked to be seated in a booth, request granted. Server came over within 5 mins and she introduced her self and started us off with our drinks and starter. Server was very nice and had good insight on the menu. Food was amazing and plated very nice. Restaurant was very nice and bathroom was clean. I am excited to tell my friends about this place and about the delicious food. I will definitely return for another meal soon

Every plate we had was delicious. We had an exceptional server. We really appreciated being in a restaurant where it was easy to talk without shouting over background noise. Will definitely come again.
Had the almond crusted haddock and risotto lobster recommended by the waitress. Excellent!Service was

Menu is varied with plenty of interesting choices, everything beautifully prepared, excellent service, nice vibe and atmosphere. A little noisy for easy conversation, but not so noisy we couldn't hear each other and still enjoy ourselves.

My family and I had a fantastic dinner at Tempo on a Saturday evening. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was very good and reasonably priced. We were served at an appropriate time between drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. My only gripe was that our table was near the door closest to the kitchen, and there was another table behind us that had substantially more room between the wall behind them and the table. So we did feel a little tight between people walking behind us and the table on the other side of us. Of course we weren't going to ask the full table behind us to move their entire table during their meal, so we left it alone. Otherwise the restaurant did not feel too crowded, even with it being almost a full house. We will definitely be coming back!

Dinner on a Friday night, I had the Cajun swordfish. It was slightly overcooked, but was still moist, not dry. Since I prefer fish overcooked rather than undercooked, it was good by me. My girlfriend had the tuna and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent whiskey selection, good mixed drinks as well. There's a "club" kind of attached to it. The signs read "live music" , but it was a DJ, and way too clubby for my taste (and age).Good restaurant, but get in and out early before the nightclub vibe kicks in (unless you dig that sort of thing).
