    We stopped by for beignets and coffee. (Stellar beignets served steaming hot at the counter.) Limited menu but it's beignet all day, baby. Hot strong chicory coffee and you are set on a chilly afternoon. It's in the old Subway space but feels much more spacious. We will be back for biscuits and gravy (morning) and jambalaya (lunch/dinner). Service was excellent - eat local!

    My boyfriend & I stopped in here last night. The place looked very festive & fun. We were greeted…read morewith a smiling maître d' who seated us right away @ a booth per my request. We were taken to a fun room resembling a spot under a willow tree with a night sky above. Our waitress came over a few minutes later to take drink orders & questions & throughout the dinner she was excellent. Unfortunately the area was dark & hard to read the menu - I highly recommend candles on the table to make for a more intimate setting. Then we got our food. My bf ordered a po boy sandwich hoping to relive an experience he had elsewhere, but sadly he felt the sandwich just resembled that of a McDonald's fish sandwich lacking Cajun flavors. I ordered the jambalaya, which had a pretty good portion size, and was kind of tasty but went downhill as the few scraps of sausage were only on top & the flavors didn't get mixed in well with the rest of it. I recommend a white rice option. We also started getting excited about corn bread but were very disappointed as we were told they have it 'sometimes' but we missed out. I also don't understand the music selection as it sounded like a night club. I doubt we will return, which is sad as this place seems to have potential.

Everything we tried was flavorful and well‑prepared, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere really stands out -- lively but relaxed, with that Cajun‑inspired charm that makes it feel special without being pretentious. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. Drinks are solid, and the setting is perfect for a casual night out with friends or a laid-back evening on the deck. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're looking for good food, great vibes, and a little taste of the South in Madison. We came on a mid afternoon Saturday so pretty slow and chill!

From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is perfectly sophisticated yet welcoming, with a classy, nautical vibe that feels upscale without being stuffy. The historic building (with its cool backstory) adds a unique charm, and whether you're at the bar, in the Boat Room, or on the patio during happy hour, it just feels special. The drinks are top-notch. Their cocktail menu is creative and well-executed think perfectly balanced classics and inventive options that pair beautifully with seafood. The wine and beer selection is solid too, with plenty of crisp whites that complement the menu. But the real stars are the oysters and crab legs. The oysters are incredibly fresh (they boast daily shipments), briny, and perfectly shucked some of the best I've had anywhere. We ordered a mix from the raw bar and couldn't stop. The crab legs? Outstanding huge, sweet, and steamed to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning so the natural flavor shines through. Paired with their drawn butter, it was pure indulgence. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, the portions generous, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're craving excellent seafood in a great setting, make a reservation at Tempest you won't be disappointed!
