We had a pleasant experience here during our vacation. We sat on the patio with our dogs, it’s very dog friendly which was great for us! They have a huge and magical patio space. I was so hungry, I forgot to take pictures of the food. We had the fried calamari to start, which was juicy and fresh tasting. I had the linguine and clams, which was delicious and exactly what I wanted! My only wish was that it was slightly bigger. My husband had the veal Marsala, which was a generous portion, but he found it to require vigorous cutting with a less than sharp knife. However, the flavor was good. We enjoyed our waitstaff, who were tolerant of our dogs and enjoyed their quirks! I would look forward to coming back the next time I am in town.
This restaurant is good, but not great. Nothing memorable. The food is okay, the patio is lovely. The service could be better. Overall an enjoyable experience eating dinner outdoors with friends. I would think twice about returning.
I was not overly impressed. The food was okay and not what you expect for the price. I had the cappellini shrimp ad arugula, the pasta was overcooked and mushy. For a $28 plate of pasta perfectly cooked pasta is expected. I do know that I rarely find cappellinj on a menu and maybe its so thin its hard to prepare. We had the house appetizer shrimp, mushrooms, arugula and a balsamic reduction that was divine and my husband was happy with his meal. We may go back but not regularly.
Extremely disappointed with our experience at Tempranillo. Even though we were welcomed nicely by a younger hostess, our dinner wasn’t very pleasant to say the least. The service by an older waitress was just enough not to be rude. Luckily the waiter was nicer to deal with. The food was definitely not what we were expecting after reading the reviews: overcooked and barely warm veal Marsala, undercooked paella so you would feel the floury taste of the rice, no more bolognese pasta, extra cost to split our plate and 20% compulsory tip for a party of 5 (including one kid). This restaurant seems to want to play high end, but nothing there goes that route beside prices. Unfortunate experience, we thought that we would share our disappointment.
The pasta with elk sausages was delicious. I also had the gazpacho of the day which was topped with crab meat. Incredible!
