What an amazing dining experience. We originally stopped by just for oysters and a drink, but ended up staying for dinner and... dessert. We were there for over two hours and enjoyed every minute of it. We were absolutely blown away by their oysters. Theyare so fresh and flavorful; truly the best you're going to find in the heart of the Midwest. Only $2/each during happy hour(4:00 - 7:00 pm). Drinks, service, dinner, and dessert were also amazing. The ambiance is unique and intimate. I can't sayenough good things about our experience. I wouldn't change a thing. I cannot wait to go back.

Tempest was an amazing restaurant. The oysters were delicious and a great deal during their Happy Hour. This is a pricey... location but you certainly get your money's worth of delicious seafood. Appetizers were well portioned and had a high variety.The Cesar Salad was an unexpected standout due to tasty dressing and a good balance between the ingredients. Both the swordfishand red snapper were perfectly cooked. Definitely would want to return for a special occasion or to sit by the bar. Theatmosphere is a mix of classy and rugged pier so not overly formal. Read more
