YOU MUST BE 21 TO DINE IN THE RESTAURANT AND ON THE PATIO
Food with an attitude
Channeling attitude into unique dishes intensifies every sense; amplifying not only the flavor, but the color, texture, smell, and presentation. This combined effort of culinary uniqueness and unrelenting attitude defines the experience that Sean envisions for Temper Grille. The tapas – style menu is at the root of this experience. It is meant to encourage the sharing of multiple dishes, which engages guests in the culture that Chef Sean visualizes for an unparalleled dining experience.
"Temper Grille never disappoints. The only "complaint" I have is that the food is so unbelievable that I have favorites I can't imagine not having every time I go, so I rarely branch out and try new things. I have gone to top notch tapas restaurants in Grand Rapids and Chicago, and I like Temper Grille better. The Michiana area is very lucky to have such a fine restaurant."

Food and service are excellent and we would like to give special mention to Brandi who is always of good counsel both for dishes and wines, and the most pleasant person to boot!"

"Everything about Temper Grille was outstanding. They open at 5PM for dinner. They serve their dishes as they become ready & not as a meal, which was unique. First came 'smashed' potatoes - yum. Next were the U10 scallops - delicious. Then the fresh green beans with onion & garlic - fantastic. They were followed by their speciality dish, mac & cheese - OMG :) Last but not least was the chicken marsala - rich & filling. Dessert was a chocolate truffle with a fresh strawberry & raspberry sauce - the perfect way to top off a perfect meal."

"If tapas is your thing, Temper Grille is your place. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is beyond compare. The steak chimis are not to be missed!"

"After all of the reviews on OpenTable, we were excited to give this concept a try. The food was good - nothing spectacular. I didn't walk away feeling like I would need to come back. The server was a little strange - not overly friendly but more seemed to be trying to rush us through the meal. I was hoping for more of what the restaurant promotes - socializing and just a relaxing time while sharing food, but instead I felt like there was this hurried rush to turn the table over.
I'm not unhappy that we went, but given it was a weekend trip I wish we could have ate someplace different."

"This was our first time at Temper Grille, and we'll be back. There is so much variety on the menu that we'll have to visit quite a few times to try all of the items that sound intriguing. The steak bites and chocolate truffles were fabulous! The asparagus, a favorite veggie for my husband, but not for the rest of the family, would have been a real treat if it had not been over-peppered. That said, we will give them another try. Our server was very helpful in showing us the ropes, and appropriately attentive."

"This is the first time I have not been thrilled with this restaurant. Usually the plan things better. We were still eating our respective soups and salads when they served us our spinach artichoke dip and our steak bites. They normally time things better as we felt very rushed and both dishes cooled before we could fully enjoy them."

"My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and enjoyed the chicken chili, ahi tuna, eddamme, and steak chimi. The ahi tuna is the best in town. For desert, the choc truffles are mouth watering. The dining area is limited but the service and food are outstanding!! We will definitely be going back!"

"We had 4 in our party and we all ordered something different, appetizer, main, and dessert, then shared. It was a fun experience and everything tasted wonderful. Kind of pricey, but will go again for a special occasion."

"My daughter and I stumbled upon it and had such a fantastic experience we returned 2 nights later. We had Kiley both times and she was attentive and knowledgeable and helped make the experience what it was. It will be at the top of our favorites!"

"A top choice in this area! The NY Strip seared rare, over a bed of roasted red pepper Parmesan pesto sauce is the way to go for the meat eater and the portobello stack for the vegetarians and vegans. Fish aficionados must try the ahi tuna or the super fresh chilean seabass "au goût du jour!" Friendliest waitstaff!"

"It was our first time and we will be back again. I was very surprised at the place and the food was very ,very good. Being in a small strip mall I did not know what to expect. Very good job in what you did in such a small place."

"Food presentation and quality outstanding. Service was excellent and an impressive wine selection. If you enjoy great food thatyou wont find elsewhere locally, its a must try. Only negative is its not the most intimate of settings due to the small overall space. 1 'casual' group can alter the atmosphere of the entire room. However, highly recommended for a 'date night' or for simply treating the taste buds. Staff were very good and made you feel right at home. I cannot compliment the chef enough as food preparation and presentation was outstanding"
