Wow, where has the good Tempo gone? This place is awful. We ordered drinks and appetizers and it took over 30 minutes for them to bring out all the drinks and appetizers. This should have been our first sign to leave. We then ordered entrees and the food was brought out plate by plate to less than half the table. The other people in our party waited over 25 minutes to get their food. My wife had enchiladas and took a bite of each one and didn’t even want to eat the rest. I had a bite of one and they were sub par. Very dry and no flavor at all. I had the short rib plate and it was a plate of 8 short ribs, a small plate of guacamole and pico de gallo. I had to ask them to bring out tortillas, as stated on menu, and was told they didn’t come with any. Biggest waste of $60. For a drink I had a smoked old fashion…there was nothing smoked about it and I was able to have 3 sips on it before empty. This place is not like the original Tempo restaurants used to be. The overall quality and service was terrible. Might be one of the worst experiences we ever had. Some friends of ours are there a week prior and were sitting at bar when the rack of glasses attached to wall came crashing down onto bar where they were eating and having drinks. To my knowledge, they weren’t even offered a replacement for the spilt drinks or food. Very unfortunate when we were trying to celebrate an occasion, which we were asked and told them we were celebrating a graduation. Nothing happened Beyond disappointed. Feel free to see for yourself but I wouldn’t go back.

Second visit to the restaurant and loved it. Love their Margarita Flight and spicy noodles. Absolutely yum. Nice casual ambiance, perfect for weekend dining with friends. Staff is friendly yet professional. Just wish there were some vegetarian options. Will continue to visit their restaurant and enjoy food and good vibes .

Visited Tempo Geisha with a party of 5. Our table wasn’t set up when we arrived, and we had to ask for utensils twice. Service was slow and the atmosphere was unexpectedly quiet—no music, even though it was mentioned in the description. The only thing that stood out as vibrant was the decor, which is definitely bold and eye-catching. The food had some good flavors, but the overall experience felt disorganized and underwhelming. Hoping they improve with time.

Loved the drinks and food! I ordered the crispy rice spicy salmon roll and it was so delicious as well as the skinny drink didn’t taste skinny at all and was so refreshing. I’m a big sushi person and was impressed by the quality of the fish. As far as dessert getting the butter cake is a MUST! Will def be back! Thanks to our waiter ICE😊
