Tempest Seafood Restaurant

Food was delicious, Staff ok, Nice Frozen Daiquiri's but the atmosphere wasn't great. There was only 5 tables full when we arrived. All of the blinds were pulled down so you couldn't see the water/boats and there was no music.

Excellent food but the waitress was a little unfriendly when I mentioned that the meal I had was too salty. Overall a beautiful evening with beautiful food and a view. Would still go back.

We went with a group of 18 people the food was excellent, and served quickly for such a large group. However the table service could have better.

We had a lovely meal. The food was delicious, presentation was of a high standard and less expensive than I anticipated. Staff were polite and excellent in their various roles. The reataurant setting right at the marina added to the relaxed atmosphere.

The restaurant was lovely, the food very tasty, and service very good. Our only issue was that it seemed as though they didn't have our reservation. They checked for our name, and didn't seem to locate it and asked if we had booked on line, which we had. They sat us quickly, on the deck as we had requested, so it turned out well, but initially we weren't sure they knew we were coming. A bit confusing, but, as I said, all went well. We'll definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Second time I have been here and our return visit was highly anticipated after thoroughly enjoying our first. Again, the service and staff were lovely and helpful with wine selections etc. We ordered cocktails this time and they were excellent. On the downside, on both visits they forgot one of our dishes. Once we notified them, they bought the missing dishes quickly and didn't charge us, but a little frustrating none-the-less. The quality of food on our first visit was significantly better, to the point where we asked if they had a new chef between visits, and were told yes, they had. Because they were SO good the first visit, we ordered similar meals both times. The Pork Belly entrée was much smaller and the sauce (a standout feature the first time) was not quite as good or plentiful. However the pork belly itself was divine, with excellent crackling. The Beef and Bugs is a skewer of beef, this time the beef cubes were much smaller and different sizes, some just little rag-ends, so they differed in texture and done-ness. Still very tasty and tender, but most pieces were far too cooked for our liking. The bugs were perfect and plentiful, but again far less sauce than previously. Lastly swapping out the Pavlova for Eton Mess should have been a good move but the Mess was a little boring and the strawberries were very old looking. Don't let this review put you off going, Tempest is still one of the few quality restaurants on the Peninsular; I just hope that these comments may provide constructive feedback for what was again mostly a lovely night. We will definitely go back and try again, perhaps to the Tepinyaki side next time.

our meals were awesome, exactly what we ordered and exceeded our expectations. the service was second to none, very friendly, prompt and inviting. you could see they actually enjoyed being there. thanks

Great service. Lovely food. Great location. We had the Tempest Platter and it was the perfect size for 2. Handy also that we could book online.

A lovely setting with friendly staff and excellent food. We enjoyed the fish of the day which was well presented and tasted great. The desserts were creative and well sized.

Had a wonderful lunch, food was terrific, service excellent, staff very prompt helpful and friendly with lovely smiles. Will recommend to all my family and friends.

We have been a few times always a relaxed atmosphere. Service is usually pretty ok. Meals are presented very nice, but on occasions were not cooked well. Under cooked batter on calamari and over cooked tuna. The cocktails are great!

Entree of scallops and dessert trio were good but mains were cold when served. Tuna was dry and quite tasteless. Staff were very attentive and pleasant.

The caramelised scallops were not caramelised but merely kissed the frypan on the way to the table. The pork was VERY fatty. Maybe 1/3 of it was edible if that. No hand rinse bowl was provided with the cold platter. The bug was extremely small. Oysters were good but Kirkpatrick sauce was not. Service was not bad but we were left standing at the counter to pay whilst the barman made cocktails for other patrons. No-one asked us how our meal was. Very disappointed!

nice food, great ambiance and very efficient staff, you will enjoy the view of the fishing boat harbour and people having fish and chips in the park

Poor service, some food items over-cooked and dry. No atmosphere in the evening and restaurant cold. Won't bother to return to this restaurant in the future.

Had lunch at the restaurant on a Saturday. Food and service was pleasant but there was no "wow" factor. We were unnecessarily seated in front of the outdoor bar area which gave us little privacy and subjected us to the noise of cocktail blenders etc. Would go back but would request alternative seating.

The place looks very professional & romantic as it was night time. Delicious food, great value, excellent customer service. Will try the lobster next time we go there for dinner.

Every time we come to Tempest restaurant the service is excellent, the menu has a lot of choice and the food is brilliant. I recommend it a lot to friends and family!

There's much to adore about Tempest, although dessert isn't their strong suit. Fortunately for me, it's not mine either. The pork belly is nothing short of delightful and the salmon is superb. I'm not really into seafood but the seafood platters being delivered to other tables look really tempting. One day...

The location was lovely and the food was delicious. Very happy with the service. Will be back again one day for a special occasion. Thanks

The food was amazing and Lots of gf options. The staff were lovely and fast service. We will be back to try some more goodies.

Food was great , the service was initially rushed to get an order in . Dinner was booked for 7:00 pm so their should be no need for a rush . We were then reminded they were closing up very soon , around 10:00 pm , on a Saturday night .......

A beautiful setting on a beautiful day. The food was of an excellent quality but my Catch of The Day grilled fish fillet but microscopic. I saw several other basic fish and chips come out to customers and I felt duped as I paid a lot more for my dish. My husbands Barra and Mussels was excellent. The dessert was obviously left in the kitchen and appeared 15 - 20 min later so the ice cream was melted and therefore the pastry was soft and it was just a mess and difficult to eat. It was my husband's birthday and his meal was A1 thanks goodness.

Beautiful restaurant, the staff were friendly, food was amazing and was served quickly. Reasonably priced. I can't fault my experience and will definitely be going back.

After the entree was served we waited almost an hour and a half for our main meals. The restaurant wasn't even full and our order was pretty basic.

We got the seafood platter. everything besides the salmon and the sushi was nice. The rice on the sushi was gluggy and gelatinous and the salmon was very dry and way over cooked. Other that that the remaining of the food was perfect, the service was great and snappy.

Top class food in a beautiful setting, genuinely friendly and attentive staff who provide a brilliant level of service. They are casual yet very professional

I think the lesson was to not go to a seafood restaurant and order steak... Very tough. Area is vero noisey due to the adjacent restaurant. Seafood meals were good but cold.

Great service and great value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful. Recommend for any time of the day. Food was delivered in a very timely manner. Food was very tasty.

The location is great, the staff are happy and the entree and mains are good but the desserts are a real disappointment. The should find a few favourites desserts and learn how to do them well.

The oysters kilpatrick were very ordinary. The oysters were quite large and juicy but the sauce and the amount of liquid were overwhelming. Most of the staff were friendly except the person who appeared to be in charge. She was professional but unfriendly. We went on a Wednesday night and there were not many people. For the price it is not good value. My rating is maybe a bit high for what we had.

We like trying new restaurants and on this particular evening were celebrating a personal occasion, but were left very dissappointed. As a seafood restaurant you would think the emphasis would be on the seafood, but instead the seafood is hidden in and amongst the vegetables and plate dressing. Dishes are over sold and portion sizes don't reflect the prices. As if this isn't bad enough, some staff members lack appropriate etiquette. It has to be said however that the food was tasty, our waitress was delightful and the ambience pleasant.

Excellent family night out! Fantastic food, great service and friendly staff! Highly recommend this restaurant for a night out with friends, family or that special someone

The Staff are great and friendly, the food was terrific, and the outlook was perfect. Will come again as was very pleased with everything we had.

We went on a Saturday night, so the food was a bit slow in coming (as the waitress had already alerted us to). The food ranged from "nothing special" to "really good". I wouldn't rank Tempest as a favourite, but we'll definitely be back.

Staff are very friendly , service was great, lot's to choose from the menu. It was our second visit in 2wks, loved the seafood selection. Everything was excellent. We will dine here again & again.

Great service & food was scrumptious. Scarborough seafood platter was amazing & Barramundi fish & mussels was my fav. We all enjoyed our son birthday dinner there.

Service a little slow a little dinner music would be great . Food was great the seafood fresh can never fault the food will be back.

Was ok, probably wouldn't go back though. They tried but the meals were lacking in flavour and quality. The ambience was good and staff weren't bothersome

Staff was nice and welcoming but the food was certainly not enjoyable. Chicken wings came pink so I ask them to cook them but unfortunately they came back almost as pink and therefore could not really eat any of it. And the coating was bitter. Not the best meal but the surrounding is beautiful though.

Good food & service. Recommend this as a restaurant. Great position on the deck looking out on water & boats. Food was interesting & offered variety.

Dined here Thursday evening for the first time and was very impressed. Quality of food and service was fantastic will definitely be eating here again.

Service average. Wine should be topped up. I am a 5 star hospitality manager and this is an expectation. I stopped coming here for this very reason.

Really nice. In some ways though I prefer the original morgans restaurant but in other ways they have stepped up their offerings. I would go back.

Excellent service....friendly staff.....food cooked to perfection...quality and fresh seafood....oysters the biggest we had ever seen. Will definitely go there again and recommend to friends and family.

Beautiful surrounds and outlook, great food , friendly service, reasonable price , we will definitely visit again. A must try for all...😊😊 Karin K Burpengary

Had seafood, lamb and steak in our group. Seafood and lamb both excellent. Steak quality was not quite top notch, but cooked well. Setting is superb.

We have been to Tempest a couple of times recently with friends and every time we Really enjoyed it, will definitely go back again :)

Fabulous views, very friendly, Great food. We drove from Wynnum Manly, well worth it had a lovely afternoon. The seafood was fresh of the boat.

We found the food excellent. The prawns were exceptional; the fish and scallops lived up to the promise of "fresh daily" with the flavours true. Enjoyed the creative use of vegetables and our questions were answered without any hesitation. We will be back.
