Tempest Bistro - Hamilton

Got very sick after eating there...unsure if extreme cross contamination or food posioning. leaning toward food posioning, either way, if I hadn't gotten sick, food was delicious but I won't feel comfortable going back dispite other reviews that are very positive.

Superior culinary experience very friendly and competent service beautiful atmosphere perfect place for an unforgettable evening !

A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CULINARY EXPERIENCE. We arrived for an early Saturday lunch and were, for maybe 45 mins, the only customers in this spacious restaurant. Which is a pity but I guess reflects on how St George's is now off the tourist track. The still vexed Bermoothes, indeed. I had the Fish Chowder which was a generous serve. I am normally a stickler for authenticity in my cuisine if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But the enhancements finely diced red capsicum, small cubes of potato and a garnish of chives complemented the traditional Bermudian recipe. I would certainly order it again. My main was a Niçoise but served warm, with fresh trout and a lightly poached egg. (Photo attached). Again, unconventional, but it was a masterpiece: you must try it. Certainly a talented kitchen team. Mark is to be complimented on recruiting these guys. Unfortunately, the Tempest now replaces Mad Hatters as my favourite dining experience on the Island (Sorry Ben, no offence I guess I have eaten at Mad Hatters so many times I have become blasé about the great meals you concoct). Mid priced wine list. No wi fi. Beware, the Google Street View for this location is an interior of Tucker's Museum; more than a block away.

My man and I enjoyed the most remarkable restaurants in the tempest. the food was excellently prepared and the upscale restaurant in the 1850s building right at the sea offers a breathtaking view. the interior lighting with old crickets created a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere. we had a most aromatic delicious mushroom soup and a risotto that any Italian cook would have been proud to serve as appetizers. the derées, black grouper, once again excellently prepared, and banana-nut cakes (they never guessed the banane! with garnels were served with a side of sweet and sauces, which produced the aromas of the fish and the dish perfectly complemented with their notions of citrus and fresh crusts. we finished our meal with a spectacular brownie served with vanilla ice cream and the smallest sprinkle of hot caramelized dark chocolate and a glass harbour. (mark, the baked cook, studied his art with maestros monitored and they will taste the difference! Previously we had martinis and riesling enjoyed with our appetizers and entrées and the beverage preparation and pairings were perfect.

Tempest is a great place for food and is especially known for its fabulous sauces. tempest can easily be overlooked, but it is worth discovering. the owner is proud to eat that is excellent. if they are looking for a quiet, high quality meal, with good wine, this is one to check.
