Pedí una hamburguesa sin sabor simple y un salmón demasiado cocido

Un buen lugar para ir un viernes o sábado por la noche y exelente comida

I wish I could give a better review. My comments are specifically about the service at the bar. I ordered an appletini, but the bartender didn’t have enough ingredients to make it properly. Instead, he used what he had left and added cranberry, which made the drink terrible. He didn’t even ask if I wanted something else; he just made the drink without consulting me.

I didn’t drink it and approached another bartender, explaining that the drink had been made incorrectly. She found the apple sour and prepared a new drink, which was good.

The first bartender also told me that they didn’t have many martini glasses and that I couldn’t leave the bar area if he gave me one for my drink. If this is how Tempo operates, I won’t be returning anytime soon. I find it unprofessional for a bartender to share the business’s problems with customers. I’m out for a fun night, not to hear about internal issues.

Great food and atmosphere. They only have one or two waiters working in the 4-5 times I’ve been there, so expect a longer wait for your food and drinks.

They also don’t open until 5 and have yet to update their hours online.

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.

40 people cost $2400 including tip. Drinks were not included and everyone bought their drinks. Drinks were delicious. However over priced for Gilroy market. The waitress got our drinks wrong many times; however, she made good and remade the drinks. Dan, the owner also made good on the event and offered 110% great service.
Service was expected to be good during dinner due to cost....Dan met the expectations we had.

Food was delicious beginning with the appetizers to the main courses of beef, pasta with shrimp, and the juicy chicken. Everything was special and cooked to perfection. Usually food cooked for many people tastes dry. Not in this case.

The after party with live music was fantastic and became so-so because bars attract shady people who when drunk are inappropriate - harrassement of girls, cat calls. The bar tenders and woman manager do nothing about cat calls and harrassement. The owner said "you should expect this at a bar." I disagree. Ended up ruining the night.

Pearl - bar tenders should pay attention to customers and quickly jump in to de-escalate. However, perhaps, having security is costly for Tempo.

I recommend Tempo for the good food, good service, music venue. Would have been 5 star - however the escalation ruined a perfectly good night.

Dan, the owner called and apologized next morning. He had a meaninful conversation.

Tempo should be one of Gilroy's finest. I believe Dan and his team will work to make the experience 5 stars!

Love that they serve brunch all day on Sunday! Fun atmosphere with cool decor. The pumpkin soup was divine. Great, friendly service & we even got to meet Chef Oscar.

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.
