Tempo Urban Bistro 21067 West Main Street, Buckeye, AZ 85396

"We sat on the patio and really enjoyed our evening. The chairs aren't the most comfortable, but the patio itself is great. They have several heat lamps, so you stay cozy. I had to start with a cocktail and went with the espresso martini, which was yummy! I also got another cocktail, which I can't recall the name of, but it was bubbly, in a champagne glass and very fresh and citrus flavored (no, it wasn't a mimosas). For food we started with the mozzarella sticks, which are huge! The description says the sauce is spicy, but I didn't get a spicy flavor. The crust was crispy and cooked perfectly. We also got roasted shishito peppers with cojita cheese and tajin. They were delicious, although I thought they could have used more of the cheese and tajin. For entrees I had the striped bass, I think I misread the description because I thought it was served with potato, tomatoes, and capers. But when I only saw one tiny piece of tomato I mentioned it to the waitress and she said it was a tomatoe beurre blanc, so she got me some of beurre blanc; which was delicious but tastes different from the sauce that was already with the fish. My husband got the braised short rib, and it was fantastic! Next time I want to try the chicken French and lobster Mac, I have heard they are both great!"

"I’ve been going to Tempo for almost 3 years and it has been AMAZING! It’s an all-around outstanding place. Some people go dressed up for special occasions, some go casual, it’s welcoming either way. The owner is passionate about this. He’s often there in the kitchen, and you can tell because the food is TO DIE FOR (especially the lobster Mac and cheese). They have great oysters on the weekends, awesome cocktails and so many dishes you’ll love. The servers are soooo good! They seem to really enjoy it because they’ve mostly all been working here as long as I’ve been going here, they always remember us, and they do such a great job! Over the top service! Deon, Lizette, and Cali (spelling?) are top of mind as amazing servers. Great atmosphere either at the bar, a high top, sit-down table, or outside on the patio. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Tempted to not write this review so it doesn't get attention and this place doesn't become more popular because honestly we want it all for ourselves... We come here all the time. It's a great location for anyone in Verrado. Everything is pretty good food wise. Friendly service always. The Lobster Mac & Cheese is the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had in my entire life. No complaints."

"As someone that traveled Europe recently and got to try a lot of French cuisine over there, I can definitely say the dishes here completely up to par with gourmet French cuisine. Everything was incredibly delicious, such as the pan sauce with the Chicken French that really stood out, the extremely tender braised short rib, and the white clam pizza great for sharing."

"Found this place in the quaint downtown Verrado. Everything we ordered we enjoyed: skirt stake with potatoes and arugula placed on a delicious sauce, fried mazzarella also on a delicious red sauce. Seating outdoors in our fall weather added to the nice atmosphere as well as the sweet attentive service of our Peruvian waiter"
