Tempest Seafood Restaurant

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the Wait Staff, and seated by the water on the deck. Lovely cool breeze. We were served chilled water, once we settled down. This was a birthday lunch for my mother, and two other friends of the family. Mother was 86 and her friend is 93, so attention by the staff was excellent. We had a hard time choosing from the menu as there is so many lovely meals to chose from. Our drinks arrived, and the food order was taken. Mother had Steamed fish, her friend had fish and chips, and we had Steak and Bugs. Only waited 15 to 20 mins for the meal to be served. ALL Meals excellent in presentation, and taste. Desert was sorbet and melon, (the chef wrote in chocolate Happy Birthday on the plate) and Homemade waffles, with butterscotch sauce with ice-cream. Just perfect, and a Wonderful time had by all! My Sister and Husband and family will be out from Scotland soon, and we will be returning to try other beautiful food from the Menu.

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.

Great menu. Superb ambience, best location for a seafood restaurant in Brisbane. Really enjoyed the change from Morgan's . Seafood is always fresh and delicious .

Service very good. Bruschetta - sand crab version a little disappointing as the sand crab was coupled with fennel which overpowered the subtle crab flavour. The more traditional version featured buffalo mozzarella but we couldn't taste it. We queried whether it was there, it apparently was underneath the tomato mix. Too subtle. Three of us had the barramundi and mussel main course and it was absolutely magnificently cooked and thoroughly delicious. One of us had the battered fish and chips and was disappointed. She found the batter heavy and oily and the fish ok but ended the meal wishing she too had chosen the barra.

Located next to Morgans and overlooking the harbour, the seafood should be fresh and tasty and it was. Meals and wines are reasonably priced with 2 courses and wine for four people coming in under $250. The servings while tasty would need better presentation to take make it 'fine dining'. All in all good food at a reasonable price.

Great food, great location and great service. We shared a number of entrees and the tempest platter. Seafood was fresh and beautifully presented. Very relaxing.

Good food with good atmosphere. Oysters were nice and fresh but chicken wings were a little under done. Sauce was very tasty and wine was nicely chilled.

Beautiful food, small serves though. Lovely staff and dining environment. Quite expensive but ideal for special occasions. We will definitely go back again for a nice dinner.
