Loved coming here. If you don't want to go all the way into the city, I would come here! Service was excellent and when we first came to visit many years ago it was for their dollar oysters . But they make their desserts in house and you can't go wrong with what you order here! Everything was delicious

Butternut sage risotto w burratta
Antoinette S.

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.

Fish Taco App

Good service. Decent cocktails. Great indoor and outdoor seating. Tacos and salmon was good. Steak egg rolls was too much like old roast and not steak, not good. Would go again.

Ice Cream Brownie Sundae

Delicious!! Fun atmosphere with lots of great decor, and service was great. Food was tasty as was desert. Good selection of drinks as well.

Watermelon Salad

Tried several dishes from Tempo as a family. Got 3 medium rare pork chops but they were not consistent. One of the pork chops happened to be slightly more raw and had a little too much red. Asked to cook it slightly more but it seemed as if the kitchen simply microwaved it. I could tell because the plate which it was on was hot, a telltale sign of a microwave. The pork chop turned out to be dry and stringy. Thankfully our server let us replace that pork chop with another item. Otherwise, the other 2 pork chops were nice and tender. Got 2 different fish dishes, both of which were made really nicely. Bell peppers were nicely made, very tender and without that strong grassy butter taste when done improperly. Fish was fresh. The restaurant was a little bit too loud but the decor was great. Overall, a nice restaurant to eat at except for that one inconsistency.

This is the back room-they have a bar and a huge stage trivia and comedy and other offerings check it out! the stage is really impressive!

10 out of 10 please see screenshot below for details! Yummy scallop dish for an entrée and for an appetizer had the freshly made sourdough with honey hot butter. Please see the screenshot below for a detailed review. Can't wait to go back!

I was in town visiting family, and stumbled onto this really cute old fashioned railroad style…read morediner! They have a free parking lot but there is also street parking available. Cash only! Items are on the pricier side. They mainly serve breakfast and lunch items. We opted for breakfast: -- House Special Omelet $18: was meh. The omelet was ok, and came with toast of your choice, and a generous portion of home fries. I'd order something else next time. -- Corned Beef Hash Benedict $18: this was great! Very satisfying and recommended! This also came with a very generous side of home fries. -- Side of bacon $4/3 strips: we asked for extra crispy bacon and that's exactly what we got. Sooo good! -- Coffee $3: decent coffee with free refills. Great customer service. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Recommended!!

Unfortunately this restaurant has switched owners and it has gone down hill. We used to eat here…read moreall the time and never once had a bad experience. Since switching ownership, we have eaten here twice and both times left disappointed. The first time we ordered Irish eggs Benedict and the hash was not cooked correctly and had raw onions in it. WHO PUTS RAWS ONIONS IN HASH?!? The second time we had eggs, sausage and home fries and my buddy ordered the same. 5 hours later... food poisoning. Pretty sure it was the undercooked sausage. It's a bummer to see this place go downhill. It's super cute but just not worth it anymore!

If half-stars were a thing this would have gotten a 3-1/2 stars. Somewhere between okay and good…read more Seating was a breeze when we arrived for our 6pm Friday reservation, and we got a booth, always my preference. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I ordered an Old-Fashioned and my companion a glass of chardonnay, both of which came promptly and were enjoyable. After some inquiries I settled on the self-advertised fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. My companion asked about a favorite no longer on the menu, a salad with grilled chicken, and after checking with the kitchen our server was happy to report it could be ordered. My companion asked for dressing on the side and unfortunatel the salad came out dressed. Our server was happy to return it to the kitchen and it came out after not too much time had elapsed, the way she'd ordered it. I'm always skeptical that ribs will be fall-off-the-bone but these were close. Unfortunately, they seemed a little off; I still can't decide if they were on the dry side, lacking in flavor, or both. But the meat did come off the bone easily, so there was that. They came with french fries which were good, The location is handy and there is on-site parking. The atmosphere was energetic and it must be a popular after-work place because there were several large (10+) tables occupied. Still, not sure I would go back soon when there are other comparable places in the area.

** Updating previous review with more tapas rankings **…read more Yuca Frita (9.5/10): These are so freaking delicious, wow. The cilantro aioli was an amazing dipping sauce. They really are fried to perfection. Frituras de Maiz: (10/10): Wow, these fritters are also amazing. They come with such a rich sauce. The fritters are exploding with flavor. Cazuela de Coliflor Asada (9/10): Insanely good dish. The cauliflower has perfect texture, complemented by the pistachios. The sauce is SO good. The cauliflower soaks it up so well. Chicharrones (9/10): Melt in your mouth pork belly. The pork skin crust was perfect. The sauces really make most of the dishes here. This dish is no different - I loved the sauce. Ropa Vieja (9/10): Perfectly slow cooked meat. One thing that really stood out to me was actually the white rice. The rice was VERY high quality, and I appreciated it so much. It's rare to come by rice this good. It had the perfect texture, chew, and fragrance. Ropa Vieja de Hongos (9/10): Pretty much the same as Ropa Vieja above. The mushrooms are delicious, and the dish is just as good whether your order the mushroom or steak version. Empanada del Carne (9/10): Oh man, the crusts are so good. This is pretty on par with the ones I just had in Puerto Rico. Chuletas de Cordero (8/10): The seasoning is heavenly. I was licking the lamb chops clean. Croquetas (8/10): Very solid croquetas. Wouldn't say it's a must-order, but you can't go wrong with them. Costillas a la Guayaba (6/10): The first time I had this it was really nicely marinated, and the rib meat is so tender that it almost falls off the bone. The second time, the meat was dry. Maduros con Tocino (6.5/10): This dish was pretty good, but got overshadowed by the other ones. Pulpo (6.5/10): Octopus was tender and savory. The potatoes were too salty. Camarones a la Plancha (6.5/10): Solid dish, but I enjoyed some other ones even more. Ensalada de Aguacate y Pina (6/10): The salad was a bit too sour, and that sourness overpowered the dish. It was a great blend of ingredients, though. *** and one dessert *** Churros con Chocolate (8.5/10): Big crunchy fluffy churros!! The chocolate sauce is amazing (not really spicy at all). You have to get this for dessert!!

Had a great dinner. 4 stars instead of 5 only because the service was a bit slow. They had plenty…read moreof runners but not enough folks taking orders. The sliders, which were not on the menu, were fantastic. The beef empanadas were good. The beet salad was excellent. The mushroom balls were good. Tres leches very good. I'd recommend.
