Tempo Italian Bistro and Lounge

Terrible. Bought the groupon. We ordered an the toasted ravioli appetizer. That was the only edible thing we bought. I ordered fried cod, my friend ordered chicken marsala which the waitress quickly said «I wouldnt get that. I have gotten countless complaints about it. We have a new chef he made some sauce for it today but he doesn’t know what he is doing.» So he ordered a white pizza. My soup tasted like italian beef broth with vegetables in it. We waited almost an hour for our food. The waitress came out and said «I’m sorry the chef didn’t realize he ran out of chicken and had to make more before he could cook your pizza. It should only be a couple more minutes.» So we waited for another ten minutes. We almost said forget the groupon we will just pay for this and leave. But then the food came. The fish was greasy and tasted like fast food. The «baked potatoes» were mini red potatoes and I ate one bite and didn’t touch it again. The sour cream and butter bowls contained more than the potatoes themselves. The pizza was cold and smelled burnt (which we quickly realized was the chicken on the pizza). There was a burnt smell that hung around the entire table after the food came out. I was thoroughly disappointed. Will NEVER go back.

I’ve got to say this place isn’t as bad as I expected. I stayed at the Clock Tower hotel for some business and I was in a rush for some lunch, so I ordered the burger with fries. Pretty standard but they cook it to your preference. I got it medium and it tasted fantastic. It tasted like a $ 12 – 14 burger but it was only $ 8! The service was average, nothing special. On several nights a week, I hear that they have live music. Overall, Not too bad of a place.
