Very nice for the West Valley. We drove out there from central Phoenix to hear our musician friend play.

Tempo is hit or miss. Ordered the meatloaf and it came out ice cold in the center. Service is usually ok
(3)Levi B.
Their nachos are amazing. I dream about them! Their margaritas are tasty and strong. We eat here a lot and have always had great service.
(5)Michele B.
Great food but the server had the most awful breath I've ever smelled. Nobody wants to gag when their server is taking their order.
(4)David D.
We really want this place to be successful but it needs help. Inconsistent experience everytime we try to go there. As a family that typically eats out 5-6 times per week, we want a place we can rely upon for a good meal. Sometimes food and service are excellent - sometimes it is not. They also cannot handle busy nights. Every good meal and service experience has been when there are 3 tables occupied - unfortunately they cannot survive that way. Food quality is fantastic when you get your meal hot. Pricing is fine if they improve the service level being provided. Fingers crossed they continue to improve.

I had the pumpkin sauce pasta with salmon. It was delish! I had never thought of this ingredients before and that's what you pay the big bucks for! I hate when I order something I could've made better myself. It was the perfect blend of pumpkin seeds, salt, thick perfectly cooked noodles and the right seasoning on the salmon. If I could have this meal once a week I would!
(5)Brandon B.
Fine dining in the far west valley..... Great food and owners. Again you might have a server running like crazy but they know the menu and great personalities. The price per place isn't cheap which is around $15.00 per adult plate but I wouldn't hesitate to visit this place as the cost is worth expense.
(5)ET O.
We love Tempo and sad we moved out of Verrado as we will no longer be near this great place! Amazing food selections and the chef is great! We have had everything from the chicken sandwich, flatbread, rib eye nachos (love), salad, pasta, burger! All great and we will miss the food !
(5)Scott M.
We've visited Tempo several times in the past and had great food. Today we decided to take the whole family in for the Mother's Day Brunch. The food was out of this world and the service was fantastic. What an amazing and memorable Mother's Day. Thanks to everyone at Tempo, we'll see you all again soon.
(5)William M.
I love eating at this place cannot go wrong with any meal. I think the spare ribs have crack in them because I must have it all the time. The Korean ribs are amazing also! Actually I can't think of a meal I couldn't recommend. Prices are well worth it and the potions and succulent flavors justify it.
(5)Billy L.
Love getting my favorite teacher her Cafe Mocha from here! They never disappoint!!! And when we are able to stay and eat, the food is amazing! Great atmosphere, good service from everyone. #veryverrado
(4)Bailey D.
Foodies rejoice! If you expect only the freshest ingredients, in well-executed dishes with balanced flavor, hosted by THE best support staff out there, then look no further than Tempo. This place does it right... Easily 5 Stars.
(5)Angie P.
Every time I eat here it never seems to disappoint me. The menu is well thought out with a complex fusion of flavors. The service is always on point with servers who remember your name to your favorite drink. It's a small town feel with an upscale uptown vibe. The owners Steve and Karen really put in there heart and souls into pleasing there guests and take there opinions and input seriously. The food is fresh when I mean fresh it's not frozen it's made to order. For example I love there fish fry Friday I highly dislike coleslaw let alone tarter sauce, until I ordered it and tried it, it was like fireworks in my mouth, will only eat it Here. The coleslaw has a twist it's a little sweet but the perfect balance of salt with a crunch, the fish is not even remotely fishy with the best batter. I COULD Go On and on but take me seriously when I say you must try for your self. The drinks are reasonable prices and they have a great happy hr Monday thru Friday. I Enjoy fresh ingredients and Enjoy Being greeted By People who Remember MY Family and ask How We are doing AND honestly care. Give this place a chance and you will won't be sorry.
(5)Peter Z.
WOW! Absolutely best atmosphere ever and the food is awesome.
(5)Elizabeth C.
LOVE Tempo! Only place in Verrado that offers the whole package...great food, creative and delicious drinks, live music AND a pretty decent Happy Hour!!!!! Awesome and friendly staff, nice ambiance and clean restrooms!...Verrado's competition pales in comparison!
(5)K N.
Overall, the taste and quality of the food was great, however one of the four of us ordered the salmon, and found it to be overcooked and the portion slight. Another concern is that none of the main dishes we ordered came with a green vegetable, only potatoes, and the server never suggested a salad or side dish of veggies. Opportunity lost on both sides. Will give it another try for sure though as we are rooting for them to succeed.

Yesterday was our second visit. I rushed home and picked up my beautiful wife to try Happy Hour at Tempo. We had been here once before and it was above average. This time we walked in and the place was EMPTY.... It was about 5:30 and we sat at the bar. The bartender(female blond) had ZERO personality. Seriously, I would have rather watched paint dry then strike up a conversation with her. Anyhow, I ordered a draft beer and it was somewhat flat and unimpressive. My wife ordered a margarita and she seemed to like it. We decided to order some food. My wife ordered Street Tacos and a side salad. I ordered Flatbread with sausage and cheese in addition to a side salad. My wife liked the tacos and my flatbread was so so. The salads had to much olive oil on them and tasted slimy, oh and they both had tons of fresh sliced onion. The place remained very quiet for happy hour maybe its because it is overpriced for what you get. Our little stop for happy hour ran us a cool $43.00 with the tip. Okay, I get it. Its a trendy place with a non conventional menu but its not worth it. In addition, I found the menu very limited unless I was interested in new age metro sheik(I just made that up), save the rainforests, reduce carbon footprint, type stuff. I suggest that if this place is going to survive, menu and price change. Trust me, even the regulars that "love" this place will quickly get tired of it.
(1)Emily G.
Went for dinner Saturday - probably not a good idea as there's live music and it's so loud you can't hear anyone, let alone talk. Food was good and interesting. But there were several disappointments: 1 - they brought our food out after we'd barely started salads. We felt very rushed. 2 - the wine and liquor pours were unbelievably stingy - perhaps 3 oz of wine? But we wound up paying $90 for two bowls of pasta, a shared salad, and four wines. Not worth it.
(3)Luciana L.
First let me say, it's awesome that a coffee place opened up where the service is at least decent. Nice folks behind the counter. However, I got a frozen coffee and quite frankly, it wasn't any different than if I had made it myself ... with the brewed coffee I keep in my fridge for the week. In fact, I make it even better because I make sure there are no ice chunks in my frozen beverage. Nothing special about their iced tea either. As my husband said, "it was nothing like drinking polar bear" which is what he describes as really awesome iced tea. (I know strange but that's his thing) I will give this place a couple more tries: 1) B'C they said they make homemade muffins and well, I love muffins and 2) when they open up the restaurant portion b'c I'm really hoping to have an awesome place nearby to get a meal. If you want me to keep coming back, go talk to the folks at Sugar N Spice down on Indian School RD. We literally crave that place. They have an awesome staff and an awesome bakery with awesome beverages. I'd love to be able to have a hang out place like that closer to home! With all that said, I realize they are just starting out and to support local businesses I'd like to give this place another try but I don't want to just "settle" coming here because it's close by. I want to love going there!
(2)Jeri T.
Oh my gosh, we just got back from eating at Tempo and we can't say enough good things about the entire experience. Our waiter was wonderful, chatty and attentive. We asked questions and he provided answers and suggestions. One of us had the lobster mac & cheese, one the meatloaf and one the ribbon noodles. We all tried each others dish and each one was beyond belief. The waiter said he could hear us out back saying mmmmmm over and over. The restaurant is very well arranged with front windows/doors open so you can enjoy the beautiful AZ weather. We had a difficult time deciding which dishes we wanted to order and have already decided we will return to try others. The drive from the Surprise area was done in the dark and we were sure we had taken a wrong turn to nowhere but continued on. Lo and behold, around a bend was this quaint little village. We know when we return we are coming in the daylight to do some exploring in the area. Don't miss stopping at Tempo, it is worth every penny.
(5)Dane G.
Let me just start out with O.M.G this restaurant is tits. I just had the best food dinning experience in my life. The atmosphere is very modern and sightful. The staff is very friendly the only annoying part I experienced was the table next to me. Something about verrado and the snobs living there haha. I heard blabbing on about how the stay at home mom's are sleeping around while there husbands are at work and a bunch of drama . However bottom line food was great I recommend this place to anyone!
(5)Stephanie F.
This place is adorable. Great location - great lunches and the lunch prices are perfect. $9 fish tacos were definitely 5 star. The short rib sliders ($9) were good, but a bit dry so probably 3 stars. The place is great though-clean and the doors open up to the outside. Very nice. Will be back here for lunch to try the Reuben and to get the fish tacos again!
(4)Geoffrey C.
So as new Verrado residents we obviously want to support the local eateries, that said, I am not sure we will do dinner there again anytime soon. The coffee bar is fine, good ice cream as well, lunch during our prior 2 visits was alright at best, but dinner last Saturday was just a letdown. The menu I think is way too pretentious and poorly executed, seasoning was very bland on all three of our dishes, the server had no personality, and what is with the weird guitar guy with a synthesizer box??? I think perhaps time to get back to the basics and work towards doing those very well. Anyway, very small portions and not much value with the pricing as it is. On a positive note, nicely appointed interior and very clean.
(2)Tricia S.
Bummer. $6 for a cappuccino. Had hoped if this place was going to charge such prices that they could deliver something that would make you want to return. Paying Italian prices for a cafe drink, it would at least taste as good as the cafés of Italy... boy was I disappointed. The baristas didn't know what they were doing. If a place is going to charge high prices for a product- they should know what they are doing. Definitely, won't be coming back.
(2)Rebecca A.
Ok... Read all the reviews & still decided to eat here. Glad I did. Don't drink the water, it's tap. Service was friendly & on spot! I love eating at nice places, usually downtown... This place had a great atmosphere the food is above par. I ordered the scallops & my husband ordered the ribs. He was not a fan of the sauce... It's not traditional BBQ sauce & he is more a meat guy. The scallops had great flavor but order a side salad, there are no greens serviced with dish. We will be back.
(4)William S.
Probably one of the best burgers I've had in this metropolitan area thus far. Great service and friendly staff. Love this place
(5)RJ B.
As a community resident we were excited to have a new restaurant. We showed the nice waitress prior to ordering the Groupon and ordered 2 burgers @$14/each. Very expensive for a burger, but with the offer, we could afford it. After we ate the manager refused the Groupon stating we could use for dinner only. What's the difference? We're still getting $30+ dollars in food! The price for what we ordered is exactly the same at dinner. Yes, the burger was good, but will choose this establishment NEVER in the future just because it's overpriced and the managements unwillingness to accommodate the customer is probably why it's always empty in there. We will take our business in the future to Verrado Grille a couple blocks away where they have delicious food and accommodating staff.
(2)Ilse K.
I am on the fence about this place. The first time we went, it knocked my socks off. The osso bucco was to die for. We went a second time, got a lovely table by the open doors and had a great time, food was excellent. We talked to the chef and his wife and they were super nice and personable. Then, however, the menu changed and it all went downhill from there. We went for Mother's day brunch and the salmon I ordered was burnt. The buffet was so-so, not fresh at all. My husband ordered the sea bass and it was swimming in oil, gross. We complained to the kitchen and the owner came out and blamed it all on a new gal he had hired for the kitchen. Okay, fine, another try. We went for father's day dinner. I ordered the steak, medium well. It came out with no pink middle. My husband ordered the scallop rissotto, which was bland and blah. My daughter ordered the chicken fingers, which came out burned to a crisp (I couldn't even believe they sent it out to the table). We had them remake the chicken and I told them I wasn't happy with my steak. So the owner's wife came out and told me (pointing to a tiny strip of not-really-pink in the middle) that this is how they cook the medium well. Really, you want to argue with a customer on how their food should be prepared?! Poor management decisions at best. I was so starving at this point I just told her, fine, I'll eat it, whatever. It soured the whole experience for me. NOT a fine dining experience. They sent out a second order of chicken strips for my daughter, just as burnt at the first one, with not even an aplogy or visit from the chef/owner. Sorely disappointed. They seemed to have a good fine dining experience going at first, but we won't be back unless they get heir act together. And , for a family of five, blowing $150 on dinner in a single dining visit, the experience should be top notch. It isn't.
(1)Ellen W.
What a beautiful place to have lunch! Friendly and quick service and great food! I had a wonderful salad and my friend had the soup of the day which looked nice and creamy (roasted chipotle, I think) with half a sandwich. Our bill was $24.
(5)Maria R.
Just what we needed in Verrado! tempo has been a great addition to Verrado. The service is great, food is delicious, and the vibe is lively. We have been several times now and the restaurant hasn't disappointed us yet. Everything we've tried has been outstanding. We especially recommend the short ribs! We have also really enjoyed the live music. This is our go-to spot for a meal that we always know will satisfy our picky palettes.
(5)Bobby O.
I love this place! The atmosphere is great, the service is great and the food is amazing. Many many kinds of beer and wine. If you want an amazing dinner, upscale place to take a date in Buckeye, or have some drinks and listen to live music, there is only one other place in all of Verrado that even comes close and frankly the food and service is better at Tempo by far. I do not give 5 stars anywhere, four stars tops, but the chef is world class and I make the 40 minute drive to Verrado from North Phoenix for his dishes. Always great! Rebuttal to the 1-2 star posts here... * Saw the post about the noodles being rubbery, yes good pasta is not supposed to be overcooked. Go open a can of Spaghettios if you want watery soft noodles you Philistine. * About iced coffee and iced tea being bad. I wouldn't know because I don't drink that crap so I don't really care. Their coffee and espressos are perfect. If you want a tall iced crappachino chocolate frappe latte with pumpkin sprinkles go to Starbucks and pay $6 there for the extra ton of sugar and flavoring they stick in it. If you want amazing food and drink and atmosphere, this is the place to go.
(5)Carrie K.
Great food and really nice atmosphere. My husband and I love the New York strip. Don't overlook their sides. The mushrooms and braised brussel spouts are really really good. I can't eat gluten and they have prepared delicious gluten free dishes for me. If you have any diet restrictions I recommend calling in advance or at least telling the waiter to ask the chef about your options. You're not limited to the menu items. They are really great about preparing special request. By the way, they do a nice job with carry out, too. The food is packed well and brought out immediately so it's still hot when I get home.
(5)Chuck K.
Went for a quick lunch today and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were greeted by a server and how quick the food was brought to table. My husband ordered the soup of the day, not a favorite with him and I took a spoonful, I concur. We both ordered the pork carnitas street tacos, which were good. A tad bit more marinating time on meat might have made it a bit more flavorful. Servers both were attentive and got our beers from bar before the soup arrived. Coffee and Baristas still need work but We will be back to try lunch again !! BTW chips that were served with entree Excellent!! Keep it up and we will continue to come back I'm happy owners are caring what the masses think good or not so good

Waited about a month from opening to try Tempo, in hopes that they'd have worked out any kinks in the service and/or menu. Looking at earlier reviews, it's apparent there was some working-out to do. Yelp! shows review trends, which is useful, and in Tempo's case you can see that the trend is headed in the right direction. First impressions, based on the new atmosphere and menu are great. Walking in, you get the feel of a trendy, Brooklyn new-American restaurant, which is appealing to me. The menu has significant range, which should be helpful for supporting a wide variety of tastes; an ambitious menu also means the restaurant will have to be well-supported, or the menu will eventually need to be dumbed-down. For the sake of variety, let's hope Tempo gets that support. Our particular server, whose name I can't recall, unfortunately, was very, very good. Food was somewhat slow out of the kitchen, which made a quality server that much more important. It's tough to rate an entire waitstaff on one server, but the gentlemen who served us was excellent. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles, which probably isn't the first thing you should try at a new restaurant, but I had a craving. The waffles were good, the chicken was very, very good. Everybody at the table was happy with their food, as well. Pricing and portions are that of a nice, but not exceedingly nice, restaurant. The menu isn't cheap, but it's not overpriced. The portions aren't huge; I like overeating as much as the next guy, but in this type of setting I'd rather have quality than quantity, so Tempo does fine in this context. This is a strong start for a restaurant that replaces another that had struggled mightily. Learning from the failures of their predecessors will help: menu consistency, focus on the quality of the waitstaff and service in general, and participation of the ownership are things that matter significantly for any restaurant, especially a new one. Those boxes are all checked for Tempo right now, and hopefully they'll remain that way.

My husband and I went here for date night. It had amazing atmosphere and the food was delicious!!! We live in the area and will definitely be back soon!!!
(5)Dave H.
From greeting, to staff, to food and drinks, you will feel at home at Tempo. It is honest and great food, great service, and great looking restaurant (clean). Give them a chance to impress. You will not be disappointed. Ask to meet Chef Maynard and he will be enthused to come out and talk to you. He and his wife treat you like family. The entire staff works as a team to ensure you are impressed and you will bring your friends in to show off your find.
(5)Lela Y.
I ordered the sea scallops in a sweet potato and bacon hash.. It was excellent! 5 large scallops seared beautifully.
(5)Katie T.
Great Place to come in and have a cup of coffee while returning emails! I love the fact that i can come in early in the day and enjoy a delicious Vanilla Latte. Some complaints I do hope you take into consideration is getting better seats. Its not very comfortable to be sitting on metal chairs and would love to have some sort of lounge area to enjoy. I have also experienced a couple of times coming in the morning that the WiFi won't connect properly and there is nothing the Baristas can do about it. Its a huge disappointment when i get ready and come in just to find out i have to go back home to do my work. Mind you, i have heard people complain to the workers about WiFi plentiful times. On a side note, the Baristas are very nice and welcoming. There is one barista who stands out to me every time i come in she is ALWAYS so bubbly and happy. She brings in a energy that seems to make a lot of your costumers happy. I love the fact that she takes the time to genuinely keep good conversations with what seems like her "Regulars." Its awesome to come in having my coffee made before i can even get to the counter to pay for it. You definitely need more baristas like her.
(4)Jeremy W.
I'll keep this brief. The food really tasted great (kudos to the chef), but the service was very, very slow. Also, a bit pricey considering comparable restaurants.
(2)Aimee R.
Thank you Tempo for offering a meatless and dairy-free option on your lunch menu! I had the quinoa thai wrap which was wonderful and my boyfriend had the fish tacos, which he also enjoyed. Amount of french fries that came with the lunch was a bit enormous, but they were delicious so i can't complain. :o) I would give this place 5 stars if they also offered something I could eat at dinner-time, but last i checked there is still nothing on the dinner menu that is vegan, which is a major bummer. I will say that service here was fantastic -- actual trained waitstaff as opposed to amateur high school kids that the previous establishment employed. We are happy you are here Tempo!
(4)Esme J.
I had high hopes, anything had to better than the previous establishment. Guess I was wrong. From sub par service to high prices I am not impressed. Have been twice. First time I was there my 12oz chai tea was only about half full and cost me $5. Gave it another try. Coffee was again expensive but was so weak it was like drinking vanilla water. For that much I could make it myself and make it far better. I doubt I'll try their food, if they can't get a vanilla latte right, what are the odds they will actually be able to cook scallops correctly.
(2)Alison S.
Had an amazing risotto here for dinner! Highly recommend it to anyone who goes here. They also serve omission beer by the bottle here which was a nice change to drink for someone allergic to gluten. As for the coffee side, I enjoy their coffee when it is an iced mocha! Haven't tried other coffee here yet so I will be back again to try more.
(5)Cheryl K.
Great atmosphere. The chicken and waffles are to die for. Was disappointed with the lobster beignets. They didn't really have any lobster in them. My husband tried the meatloaf and that was outstanding.
(4)Sara T.
This is a review for the coffee bar only. The worst latte I have ever had in my life, several times I have gone here and im always sad for expecting it to get better.
(1)P L.
I was there the second night they opened and it was busy. We knew there were going to be some hiccups but the food was great. I had the chicken wings and it was a great appetizer. For dinner, I had the street tacos and the meat was so tender and flavorful. The tortillas tasted homemade and were delicious. My wife had a salad (can't speak for her but she loved it). The meal did take some time to come out but we didn't mind as we were not in any hurry. We will go there again soon and try some of the other dishes.
(5)Larry J.
Nice decor, friendly and helpful wait staff (young and somewhat inexperienced but learning) and good food! Really enjoyed talking with the owners and see a bright future for another great place to eat on Main Street in Verrado.
(4)Zanny D.
Waitstaff friendly and knowledgable. Menu had a good variety, not too many things to choose from. Food was excellent, can't wait to go back and try something new.
(5)Todd L.
Went Thurs night. No wait, nice decor, fast & friendly service, great food!We will be back often. Keep it up.
(4)Marc M.
We recently moved to Verrado and we're excited to try some of the restaurants on Main. This place is amazing. We've eaten there for lunch twice and dinner once and everything we have tried is excellent and the price is a good value. So happy to have a great go to place in the neighborhood!
(5)Tammy H.
Food was very good, excellent service, kudos to the chefs.. The Friday night fish special was so fresh and the oysters with the 2 sauces delicious. And I had the ceviche yum yum yum. Great food!!!!
(5)Mary J.
Recently we had a bad experience at another local restaurant, "The Verrado Grille", and had left. Our party of 15, which happened to be a Birthday Party, had proceeded over to Tempo Urban Bistro, where we were greeted warmly by Karen. I told her what had happened and she immediately apologized for our bad experience at the other establishment and immediately accommodated us. But she went even a step further and gave us the Royal treatment! She took our birthday girls' cake into the kitchen to store it and even offered to cut the cake for us, as well. The birthday girl then received a free glass of champagne! It was a lovely and wonderful experience for all. The food there is fabulous and we will be patronizing Tempo Bistro from now on!
(5)Lisa B.
Thank you to the managers over at Tempo for welcoming our party on Friday night after we experienced such horrible customer service elsewhere. We felt welcomed at and appreciated, the food was excellent, service great! We will all be back over and over again!
(5)Sidney B.
Tempo has it's ups and downs, however it is the most interesting restaurant in the area. The menu changes often, the service overall is pretty good, and the food is above average. The price is above average, but is in line with other restaurants of this kind in the Phoenix area. It is our current favorite place for a date night.
(4)Keri A.
Really wanted to like this place. It was busy and service was good. However, I ate an ammonia tasting scallop and everything tasted like it hadn't been seasoned at all. Will stick to the place next door.
(2)Shannon L.
Great Food, Great Service and Great Atmosphere. We had the pork belly grilled cheese with tomato soup, the crab cakes, and the caesar salad. All very yummy. They have full bar, great wine list and draft beer and even their own house brewed beer. Excited Verrado finally has another place to go for dinner. Great variety of food.
(5)Linda G.
Great place ! Good food , friendly ambience ! Family friendly , yet adult needs meant as well. Great mixed drinks , wine n Assorted Beers . Music , friendly considerate staff , definitely Worth the visit for lunch or dinner. Will be on my go to list ! If u need a changing table use bathroom in coffee shop , which is adjacent to dinning room. Tempo is an excellent place to go, always very willing to go that extra - to meet ur needs!
(4)Michael L.
Terrible Terrible Terrible. Service, Food, Untrained staff. All just terrible. Way over priced for ever menu item. I had $14 ala cart Kobe Burger. It made me ill. Do not waste your time or money. My wife got sick from her meal as well.
