The seafood linguine was especially tasty, very lightly tossed, the shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly (in this type of dish, its so easy to over cook them), seasoned well and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The other dish we had was the shortrib seafood pappardelle. It was good, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the pappardelle had not been sauteed in the sauce, but would have rather been tossed with the prepared sauce. The sauce was rich and delicious, the shrimp and scallops cooked nicely, but the pappardelle just seemed a little sticky and heavy. I usually really like pappardelle, and sauce was tasty, so I didn't dock the score at all, but tender al dente pappardelle, shouldn't have been quite as sticky.

My husband and I had dinner at Tempo on our recent trip to Halifax. They had a Summer Lobster…read moreSpecial - a pound-and-a-quarter lobster, coleslaw, potato salad and a roll for $25. We loved it! We started with the Tempo House Greens ($9) which was mixed greens, beets, poached pears, goat cheese and pecan brittle crumbs. We wanted to share the salad as our appetizer and they actually split it and put it into 2 bowls for us. How nice is that? Most other places that we've been to just put the dish in the middle and give us 2 forks. I also forgot to tell our server when we ordered that I wanted the dressing on the side. I asked her a little while after ordering if it was too late to make that request and it turned out that the kitchen already made it, but they gladly remade it for me with the dressing on the side. What excellent customer service!! We both got the lobster special (obviously). The lobster was delicious and it was pre-cracked for us. The potato salad was good - and that's coming from someone who doesn't usually like potato salad. This one wasn't too "mayonnaisey" and it had peas in it which was cool. The coleslaw was vinaigrette based, not cream based, so I was a fan since I hate creamy coleslaw. I didn't eat my roll; it looked really dry. My husband ate both his roll and mine. He is a man of few words when it comes to describing food. When I asked him about it, he said "it was an ordinary roll." Whatever that means, lol. Our server was Arden, and she was great. She was really nice, refilled our waters without us having to ask and checked up on us appropriately. Decor is simple and clean. Tempo is attached to the Delta Barrington Hotel. In term of taste, value, and service, Tempo is my new favourite restaurant in Halifax.

I ordered two eggs (easy over) and a glass of milk. It was good until I came across a bit piece of egg shell. Accidents happen and I'm glad I found it on the plate and not while I was chewing it. It put me off the eggs so I ate the toast and some home fries. I let Lisa, my server, know about it when I was ready to pay. She handled it well and asked me if I wanted something else instead (I didn't). She didn't charge me for the meal.

The wine list is moderately extensive with a number of options by the glass or less than a bottle. The service was fine. The location is 1.5 miles from the center of town.

My wife went with the New Orleans pasta, and we were really impressed by how accommodating the kitchen was with her dietary restrictions. They happily swapped out the chicken and ham for shrimp, and the dish still came out beautifully done.

Great vibe, great service, and fantastic food and drinks. Highly recommend!
