Tempo Mayfair (54-55 Curzon Street, London, W1J 8PG) The food, location and service was faultless. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and taken care of. I’d certainly recommend Tempo as a place to go with friends, work colleagues or even for a cocktail in the upstairs bar with a good book on your own after work! We had the swordfish Carpachio, the the baby octopus in a rich garlic tomato sauce (amazing!), the mussells and razor clams in a really light and tasty broth, then the Lamb shank with polenta mash and the fish stew. Portions were of a decent size, and so we could only handle sharing a dessert – the lemon tart was absolutely gorgeous. Wine started at a reasonable 19 a bottle, and the overall price was around £60 per head (including drinks), very reasonable for the quality of food and service, and the location that it's in. You should certainly give this place a try!
