We organized a cocktail attire 50th Birthday party for an amazing mom, aunt, sister, daughter. We contemplated Gilroy winery vs Tempo. We chose Tempo since the venue has a bar and live music. After our party we would stay for the dance and music.

I’ve been to Tempo a number of times now and have found each of my experiences to be consistent in excellent service and an excellent atmosphere. Every server we’ve had has been excellent and incredibly kind, while the live music consistently contributes to an atmosphere of fun and warmth. As for the food, my experience isn’t as varied as my heart has been captivated by the apple and brie flatbread which I find to be just filling enough and is delicious every time. The cocktails are great and I personally love the blood orange cocktail. I highly recommend coming here, especially when they have live music or an event going on.

We stumbled on this place after scheduling at another restaurant that was closed. And we were so glad we did. Great vibe. The food was all amazing. The drinks were fantastic – mock and real. We will visit again.

Came for dinner w/the wife after hearing that Tempo had just recently opened. It was fairly busy, since the giants were playing, but not packed. They have an outdoor area and the inside looked pretty nice. We were sat right away and our server was pretty attentive although he could’ve clarified some things for us so we didn’t waste food and money, and our order wasn’t correct. For drinks the wife ordered the strawberry fields forever and I ordered a spicy margarita. Both were ok, but could’ve used a tad more liquor. We shared a caesar salad, which was good and had homemade croutons. For dinner we both ordered the Tempo American wagyu steak burger. It was pretty good, but it didn’t state it came w/onions and it didn’t state that it came w/fries so we ordered a side of Cajun fries, which could’ve been explained to us when we asked for the side of fries. Would recommend checking it out.

Delicious food and cocktails but the real standout is the service. Everyone from the host to the person bussing the table is warm and friendly. We felt like we’d visited a million times even though this was our first time.
