I had the pleasure of meeting a bartender named Sophie I believe who made a killer Margarita. If you see this lady behind the bar I highly recommend trying one
Lovely spot, delighted we found this before we flew out of Halifax! Our server was amazing, she really looked after us & you can tell she genuinely cares about the customers (I believe her name is Lisa).
My wife and I arrived at the Barrington Hotel from a long flight from afar, exhausted and hungry so we popped into Tempo as it was connected to the hotel. We each shared an appetizer and each got a taco plate. Our bill came out nearly $100, which was a bit shocking for a quick lunch for the 2 of us. First was the unknown "upgrades" to the soup and salad that were included with these dishes. The waitress asked if I wanted a chowder, my wife asked if she could have a side of Ceasar, with ZERO mention that these were going to cost extra. They were literally tiny bowls that came on the plate. Second was the "Service Fee". I didn't understand what this was, and maybe thought this was something common in this city. It was not. We ate at a few other places that did NOT charge this. So whatever this hidden fee was, was implemented only by this restaurant. The lack of communication and this hidden fee was not OK, and are in my opinion out of integrity. Just watch out for these shady tactics if you choose to eat here.
I went here a couple weekends ago, and was served by the bartender, leslie, she was great, very friendly. When I asked what she would recommend, she suggested the tacos and they were very good. I would definitely go back there. Great service and atmosphere!
Went here for a quick snack before a dinner party and the girl that served us was super cheerful and kind. She was always smiling and made us feel welcomed. Clean restaurant and good variety of seating
Had a rude waitress at breakfast. Ordered a caesar and was told no because they don't serve booze in the morning. So I asked for a virgin caesar and she audibly sighed. Got the caesar and it was among the worst I've ever had. Tasted like straight up tomato juice. My girlfriend got coffee and they never once came back to the table to refill. Food to 50 minutes to come out. Had to ask another server for water and coffee refill because we hadn't seen our server in ages. Food finally came out and the potatoes were extremely greasy and very hard. Everything else was just plain and bland. Had the breakfast poutine and girlfriend had the small breakfast. 50 minutes.... Won't be back
I got food poisoning from their “rice bowls”. The cause of food poisoning is literally contaminated food. I hope they get better at making sure the food they serve is clean. I’ve never reviewed a restaurant at all so this is my first time. I have to let people know that they might get food poisoning too. Be careful.
A good reminder as to why we haven’t been here in several years. Service was mediocre but it was dead when we first arrived and it started picking up only seemed to be two serving staff. We seen on the menu they brought back potachoes and we use to like them so we gave them a try and asked for bacon on the side. What we got was chips,cheese and diced tomato and not layered either. They were missing the green onion were just very disappointing.
Had the Banana Bread French Toast and it was absolutely delicious!!! Will definitely be back!
