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 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.
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.
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.
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
Beautiful surrounds and outlook, great food , friendly service, reasonable price , we will definitely visit again. A must try for all...😊😊 Karin K Burpengary
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good food & service. Recommend this as a restaurant. Great position on the deck looking out on water & boats. Food was interesting & offered variety.
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 have been to Tempest a couple of times recently with friends and every time we Really enjoyed it, will definitely go back again :)
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.
Very good food, however we had a glitch with food coming out that was not hot, however the manager then offered the table a bottle of wine as a peace offering, which was warmly welcomed. Great staff and service.Will be back
Meals were excellent, fresh and , very tasty. The service was a bit slow but friendly. Biggest let down atmosphere , it was lacking. Could have had at least some nice music being played. I would go back just for the food thou.
Banoffi pie dessert wasn't great but the rest of the meal was lovely. Great service from the friendly staff and a lovely restaurant environment too.
The service and ambience were lovely. We had the Seafood platter for two, and were disappointed with half of the food. The bugs had been frozen and were tasteless. We prefer oysters natural, so the cooked ones were not to our liking at all. Afterwards, the waitress said we could have asked for all natural - pity we didn't know that in the first place. Calamari must have been cheap, as there was an oversupply of that, and it was too much batter that hadnt been well cooked, although the calamari itself was cooked. The fish was very chewy, probably due to it being Jew fish - not to my liking. The chips and fresh prawns were outstanding. We had been given a voucher from our family to use at the restaurant, and as we live at Morningside, we decided to use it all at once for our wedding anniversary. I wish now, we had just had something out of the a la carte menu, I feel those dishes might have been more to our liking. I do now think platters are very overrated.
We had Seafood platter and it was just ok. Don't think it Not worth the value. Will just go Gold Coast for the seafood buffet.
great food, attentive and cheerful staff, a bit smelly from the seaweed. but its lovely sitting outside looking at the boats. will definitely go again
We had a great time, good service & fantastic food. I had the oyster kilpatrick to start off with. WOW best I ever had. Can't wait until next time we go.
Great staff and excellent seafood. Most enjoyable dinner with outlook of the harbour and trawlers. Location a little hard to find on a map, Scarborough not Redcliffe, but my GPS picked up the street name OK.
Was craving Lobster Mornay as it had been years since my last feast. Wasnt disappointed. It was delicious along with the steamed greens. Yum can still taste it! Had to wait a little while but Tempest treated my son and I to a free dessert to make up for the wait.
Great location. Food was excellent. So fresh. We had the Scarborough platter for two which seems a little over priced. The presentation was excellent, admittingly there was a lot of seafood and it was yum. Service also excellent.
The service was friendly and efficient even though the staff were very busy on the night. The food was well presented and full of flavour. I would have given a maximum rating of 6 except for the fact my pasta was not hot when it came to the table just barely warm. However the freshness of the seafood made up for this. The atmosphere is relaxing looking over the marina and the tables are well positioned. Overall an enjoyable night and I look forward to trying a seafood platter next visit as they looked amazing.
The staff were exceptional. The food very nice - however the mudcrab didnt have much meat in it. Beautifully cooked though. A lovely night out.
My partner and I went to the Tempest Seafood Restaurant for his birthday. We were completely happy with the experience: good food that was cooked perfectly, and prompt, friendly service.
Rice came out in a hard lump that couldn't be broken up New take on oyster Kilpatrick was a fail and should be told it's not actually Kilpatrick when ordering Service great Seafood otherwise lovely
Great food, but a rushed service for a Friday night. We felt like we were being hurried out of the restaurant. They locked the doors behind us at 8.40pm. For that expense we will not be going back.
Lovely place to relax and eat such beautiful views, the main meal excellent presentation the desserts need to improve in size and quality and presentation .
They never got back to me so we went some where else for our anniversary dinner. Was very dissapointed as we wanted to do something different to celebrate 7 years together.
Great venue with beautiful views of the marina and water. The fresh seafood was amazing and the staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable .
Food was over priced for the money. Seafood small in size and tasteless. Take a lot to get me back there. Service was only thing good about the whole evening
We went here for my husband's birthday lunch. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed. My husband loves his seafood and had the local platter. He was not disappointed. I am vegetarian and asked for the entree to be served as a main with a salad. This was not a problem and was also very tasty. I would certainly recommend and we look forward to returning.
