    We ordered le steak frites which were excellent. The steak was deliciously seasoned and cooked exactly per our request. Should you choose to eat french fries, this is the place to thoroughly indulge and savor each delectable bite--they are well salted and texture perfect. Watercress and nickeled red onions are terrific--allowing to you say you chose this entree for the salad--haha! Our server was delightful and informative; attentive without being intrusive. Additionally, there was a terrific woman who helped us with parking meter because there was 5 feet of snow and we couldn't get near the meter. I think what is most nice is the genuine welcome feeling we experienced upon entering--like they're actually happy to have clients and want you to have a delightful evening.

    The restaurant was quite full when we arrived but we were seated promptly and had good service throughout our meal. The food was very good. We had the philly steak egg rolls and beet salad for appetizers and the cashew encrusted icelandic haddock and the bee bolognese. We also enjoyed the cocktails, especially the"cocktail for a cause" which seems to be a riff on a bee's knees. Only small quibble was that when ordering off the menu, the order online information kept popping up time and time again - it was distracting. This is my third time at Tempo and I've enjoyed it every time!
