If we could give the service 10 stars we would. Emma is the BEST waitress ever. She was welcoming and so outgoing. Emma aka Sara, LOL made our entire experience so enjoyable. Kristina was also outstanding. They are both assets to this restaurant. Next time we are in town we will be back.

My son and his bride hosted their wedding luncheon here on October 14th 2023. Great customer service, wonderful staff and excellent food. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next personal or corporate event.

I enjoyed a delightful meal at this charming and sophisticated restaurant. The menu has a range of options. The dishes are well-portioned and flavorful, with a balance of textures and aromas. The cost is on the higher end, but it reflects the quality of the food, the presentation, and the service. The ambiance is cozy and elegant, with dim lights, soft music, and classy decor. I would suggest this place for a special date or a splurge for yourself.

Atmosphere is perfect for a great night. I came
on a Sunday so it was a bit slow so service was a bit lacking with the bartender the only one serving tables and the bar. She did great by the way just maybe have FOHM help out when needed. I ordered wings and the filet. Wings were 5/5 perfectly good and good size. Buffalo sauce wasn’t from a bottle and blue cheese was defitnetly fresh and delicious. Filet was 4/5 a bit over cooked for MR on the edges and perfect on the inside. Grill might be too hot or too heavy of a weight to get the sear. Not much of a sear and a chunk of fat. Which I don’t mind but mostly
Looking for a lean cut when ordering a filet. Sweet glaze isn’t necessary on this cut of meat. It’s a good cut and cooked really well. Maybe add the glaze on the side. Plate was cold so were my mashed potatoes but they were delicious. 4/5 on those. Sweet potato fries are 3/5. Seasoned well but cut too small and thin. Don’t serve them with ketchup that’s just gross. Maybe some honey mustard or honey. Overall had a good time and would visit again.

The food was good, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was terrible. It was needlessly loud and in particular there was one table full of loud and boisterous customers. They were so rowdy that our meal was ruined. Others noticed this distraction, and management took no action to lessen the rowdiness. My wife and I were there at about 8 PM yesterday.

Never do I ever choose a random restaurant to visit and not have something go wrong. This place on the other hand was incredible. Every meal we had was to die for and we are leaving very full and happy. Get the chicken pasta, steak bites, wedge salad, pizza, wings, skirt steak, get it all!!!!

Food was great. The local customers were super kind. And the service was prompt but not overwhelming. Casually met the owner and head chef who were very nice and low key. Had the chicken Alfredo pizza, chimichuri steak, and shrimp and andouille pasta. All very good (pasta could have had a little more salt). The painkiller and cucumber gin cocktails were also delicious. Had a really nice time.

Emma was outstanding. She made our dinner experience exceptional. Best hands down. Thanks Emma your smile and attitude is contagious. I hope my lung transplant Drs and Nurses are half as nice as you are.

Lively lounge with great food! Menu is a little bit of everything ! Wedge salad is great, salmon is exceptional, and their filet is the best I’ve ever had.

Excellent pizza. Henry Miller's sauce is the best.
Good cauliflower crust and his hand made dough is excellent.

Man o man my boy Ron did the dam thing with help of tree great staff and partnership putting tempt together. The chief brings the house down with the amazing dishes that is put together. If your looking for upscale at not a very expensive price say no more come inn you will not be disappointed.

The “Tempt” is a local’s favorite restaurant featuring tasty-riffic food menu, super bartenders, comfortable table-seating, a large bar with interactive customers, & occasional live entertainment.
Off-street parking is a real plus.
In addition, “Tempt” is an husband/wife, owner-operated business.

pls add chicken tenders and fries to the list like i know this is a fancy place but chicken tenders and fries is like the base of american food and i feel like it would be more genetically physically metaphorically realistically pleasing if i just had some good crispy american well done chicken tenders

Went today for lunch with party of 11 for my birthday- food and service were excellent as usual!!!! Never disappointed with this place!
Janet Rash Hammond
Friendly staff, great service and best oysters rock in town! We also tried the Tempt salad and Chimichurri Steak last night and LOVED them both. Tempt is becoming our weekly must-do!
Michael Lupien
We stopped in this fine establishment Sunday during a break from the Neptune Festival with our 2 boys. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The gentleman i believe he said his name was Joe or Joey was awesome. He interacted with our children like you would not believe!! The food oh The Food was Amazing!! I can not wait to go back here again. I think this place deserves 10 stars!!
Clint Sutton
Great staff!!
Tempt is a great place to eat, drink, socialize and hear local music!

They called the police because I had my service dog (who was sleeping under my chair)..... said he was frightening people.... even though I’m spending tons of money there and he is literally sleeping under my chair. They told me multiple people complained then went into the left side of the bar... funny thing was, the left side was as vacant as a ghost town. The manager cornered me in the restroom and told me he was going to call the police...... most horribly racist and ignorant management I’ve ever experienced.

We attended our friends Ray Pierce and Sara Joseph's wedding rehearsal dinner. The food was outstanding and the staff was very courteous and friendly.
