Temper Grille in South Bend

To the staff and Sean - thank you for all your years of hard work and service. To everything you poured into this place - it showed. The service and quality of food was unparalleled in this area. We will miss you all, whether celebrating anniversaries or special achievements, you were our go to restaurant and we loved our experiences from the moment you opened to the last carry out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the staff and your family as the future comes at us. We know you are too talented not be in this business and hope something will present itself soon. Love you guys and what you brought to this area - it definitely will not be forgotten and sorely missed. One of kind place with unforgettable people. Thank you Sean and your staff for everything.

To be honest it was a bit underwhelming. The steak bites were worth it though, very tender and cooked amazingly well. But...the Marsala was just off. The Lobster bites were way over priced for what you received(maybe an ounce of knuckle meatwith stale pita chips on the side. If you are a fan of crab I wouldnt recommend the crab cakes as we were told that they were fresh but, canned meat was most definitely in the recipe along with way too much filler and very light on thr flavor side. We did have a good time but perhaps after C19 they will bring up their game a bit.

This was a treat from our children. The tacos, steak bites and mac and cheese was great. The venue and atmosphere as well, overall it was a pleasant dining experience.

Amazing place with a passionate staff committed to providing a world class dining experience! While we live in Louisville, KY; we enjoy visiting Temper above all others between here and Chicago.Thank you for always making our experiences there memorable!

One of the best restaurants in town! I have been here countless times and had the opportunity to have them cater many events. The food here is nothing short of AMAZING! Sean, Roman, and Liz give the best service. Oh, and they always answer their phone during business hours!

What an amazingly easy experience!! Just went on the website and made a reservation! I always try to give grace to businesses because goodness knows a few bad seeds can leave a negative outlook on the night. Especially during this trying time, I appreciate the ease of making a reservation especially when no one may be available to answer calls due to short staff or varying hours. Great job!

The quality of food is unmatched in this area. They are very focused on the dinning experience. The very knowledgeable staff works with you to guide you though a Pantheon of eating and drinking pleasures. I highly recommend this establishment.

Amazing food, quick service from the kitchen only down fall is server hardly came back to the table and never offered or asked us if we wanted more drinks or dessert and was having a conversation about who would get cut first and go home. My time as a server those were 2 big no nos always ask your guests if they need more drinks and never talk like that on the floor. Other than that the food was amazing and quick to the table.

We LOVE going here for a WONDERFUL dinner and relaxing time. The Mac and Cheese is phenomenal. I dont think there is much at the restaurant that isnt simply delicious. I strongly recommend visiting and enjoying the atmosphere and food. Every staff member that we have spoken with were amazing.

Anniversary dinner. First time at Temper Grille. Very good. Be sure to make a reservation.

had not been here in years because I movied.stopped in for carry out because I was in town.bought some food and I dont know what happened. but it was so burnt on top and under cooked on the bottom and the pork bits where hard as a rock and flavorless. it was the worst tasting food I have had in the longest time including fast food.I really dont understand what has happened to the place. I could only eat a few bites then I just throw it away.I dont understand it at all.

This is a wonderful place to eat very clean quiet and the waiter was so nice and helpful and would help u understand things.. I recommend if you have some body with you have them ordered two or three things and you order two or three things and share it its a much better experience the waiter will tell u that as well.. the lighting there is nice as well not to bright. The food is amazing!! Kudos to there cheft!!

Great food, good service.

Excellent food and first class service, very unique restaurant! This was our first time dining at Temper (after hearing so may great things about the restaurant). Glad we went, only wish we had gone sooner!

Eveything we ordered was really good. The double fried potatoes and the duck bites were the best. Not to fond of the wings but they were good. Crab cakes were full of crab. Maybe to much crab. The portabellas were really good. All in all a very nice place to eat. Service was great and food came out in a awesome fashion!

We loved everything about our experience. We were greeted as soon as we walked in for our reservations, tasted amazing wine and beer, and were given wonderful suggestions about menu items to try and we were not disappointed. We will absolutely be back.

Such a great place. We would go all the time if we lived closer. Never had a bad dish. Great selection of beers and wines.

if you have not been here yet, what are you waiting for????amazing food and service.Roman our server had a tall order tonight, we asked him to pick out courses and he knocked it our of the park!!!every dish we received was unbelievable.we tried some things that we never would have, and we will be back to everything that they have to offer.also the drink list is not lacking in choises.you need to out this restaurant on your must checkout list.

Was passing the town and was looking for something better than a burger joing and, oh man, was it better! A little pricey but it well worth it. We got 4 different plates and all were great. Definitely would come back.

I went with a group of 5 girls on a weeknight. We had a groupon and an online yelp reservation. We had arrived exactly at 7 and were seating right away and our table was all set. We ordered about.... 9 dishes, but no alcohol. We had a really great time! All of the food was delicious, hot, and just so good. I was recommended to try the temper noodles and that was one of the top dishes FOR SURE. The waitstaff was very friendly and our bill was split without any hassle. I definitely recommend Temper Grille. I will definitely be going back for a date night. So GOOD! Your food does not come out all at once, it comes out 1-3 dishes at a time, but I feel thats fine.

Lackluster small plates with food you could pick up at GFS is how I would describe Temper. We have dined here twice, both times for special occasions and been less than impressed. The prices are ridiculous for the quality and quantity of food. The only way they have stayed relevant is by keeping with trends on their menu. This is a hard pass for us.

We had a gift card so checked this place out. It has a very small dining area, so make sure you have reservations because they are almost ALWAYS booked until late into the evening, or get there and wait to sit at the bar (which only has about 8 seats). The food is tapas-style and was very tasty (except for the brussel sprouts which were a little underdone). However, Im not sure its $80 tasty...if we hadnt had the gift card, we would have been upset with the amount that we paid for a few small (but fillingdishes. If youre looking for something a little more upscale and you like tapas, though, this is the right place for you!

Nice atmosphere. The food is really good but the portions are small (it is tapas after all), and the drink selection is decent. Its also very expensive. In my opinion its overpriced. I cant see any reason why Id go back just based on the cost. There are better options in the area at this pricepoint.

We really enjoyed the Temper Noodles with Blackened Shrimp. The Steak Bites were delicious. Our dessert was phenomenal must try the strawberry angle food cake.

Everything is fantastic! Get the groupon and the gift cards from Costco for an even better deal!

Really enjoyed it. Good beer and wine selection, specials were very good. Street tacos were fantastic, baked brie with berry compote was also really good. Finished it off with a brownie skillet topped with vanilla bean gelato. Plenty of stuff we didnt try, so well be back. Highly recommend! If you havent been, try it youll like it. Service was top notch also. Well done, see you soon

Love this place, its my wife and Is favorite place to eat when we have a night out. Hard to beat the Steak Chimmies and the Temper Noodles. Have taken friends from out of town here many times and they rave about the food. We like to sit at the bar, Roman does a great job and the staff is really friendly.

The menu is extremely well thought out and put together. The staple items are the stars of the show, but specials are reason enough to go back nightly. We shared several plates between 2 couples, and could have ordered so much more. The staff listens to what you may like, and makes spot on recommendations. Our waitress picked a nice bottle of wine to compliment all of our food choices. Chef Sean perfectly prepared a menu, that even a picky eater in the group, found and enjoyed everything. Nobody in town is planning and executing this type of menu in town. Hands down Temper is the best place in Michiana for small plates and big flavor.

First time here. It was wonderful. The plates and helpings were larger than we anticipated, so that was nice. The quality of the food and its preparation was amazing. Attentive but not suffocating service, nice warm and cozy atmosphere but also felt upscale. The mac and cheese was awesome, mini steak chimis were delicious, the spare rib was not my cup of tea, just not a cut of meat Id choose but prepared great if you like a fatty cut. And the Temper noodles with shrimp was fantastic and spicey. We really enjoyed it!

One of the hidden gems in Michiana. The food is by far some of the best I have had mixed with an incredibly enjoyable atmosphere! The “plate sharing” experience truly brings a new level of dinner fun to the table.

It was our first visit there. Food was awesome! We were seated near a table that was very loud. It was difficult to carry on a conversation. If it wasnt for the noise it would have been the perfect evening. I feel the room was too small for the amount of people seated in there.

My first time there and Ill definitely return. Prices are a little high BUT worth every penny. The food was amazing and our server was wonderful!!! Even my husband who is rarely satisfied with new places said it was great!

This would be a good place to go on a date! Intimate, cozy atmosphere- even the restrooms are pretty and Upscale. The food was very good: We had duck bites, chicken marsala, and pork belly Mac n cheese. There is an excellent beer and wine selection. There appears to be a cozy space for seasonal outdoor seating. Two notes of interest: this is a 21 and over only establishment, and their soft drinks are served out of cans, not a fountain, so there are no free refills.This is NOT a place for the frugal and budget-conscious. Our meal for two, with one soft drink and two beers, was in the eighty-five dollar range. The eclectic and varied menu and the quality of the dishes and beverages justifies this cost. This is DEFINITELY the place to bring someone you want to pamper or impress.

Fantastic place, hard to start with what’s good... just make sure you end with the chocolate truffles. Everything is great. You will need reservations, this is a diamond which many in the area know about.

Have you ever heard the phrase "you get what you pay for"? Well, thats Temper. Do not come here if you want a cheap meal. Come here if you want excellent service, mouth watering food, and fantastic wine (and great at wine pairings and Fantastic at finding your flavor.... Thanks Roman!). You cannot pick a bad food item. You will not be disappointed!

The food was really good and we will definitely be back. A hip atmosphere. We originally thought it was over priced but since youre splitting its not all that bad. The portions were decent sizes except the steak bites, the portion could have been a bit bigger. A couple downsides were they were out of several things on the menu including mac and cheese and we waited a about 10 to 15 minutes for someone to greet and seat us even though they werent packed. Staff kept walking by without acknowledging us for a while. Once we were seated though, the food came out fast.

Great atmosphere and even better food. I took some customers there again this week and they were very impressed. The waiters are professional and the food is fantastic. Perfect for customer outings or a date night with the love of your life.

This may be the best place I have eaten in Mishawaka. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and delicious. Price was fantastic. Noodles, lamb sliders, crab cakes, steak chimis, potatoes, even dessert! We ate so much and got out under $100 even with a $25 bottle of wine. I cant wait to go back, and since the prices are reasonable I can do so much sooner!

We absolutely love this place. Every time I come here, I wonder why it took me so long to come back. When you come, you have to get the lobster bites. Easily my favorite item on the menu. Amazing food and very good service.

Delicious tapas style upscale dining. The lobster bites are to die for. Tried the majority of the menu and have not had something I did not love. Great wine and beer selections, however the house sangria is great at a great value. Must ask for it as it is not usually on the menu.

We absolutely love it here! This was probably our 30th time visiting and it never disappoints. Everything on the menu is amazing. The sangria is the best around. It is tapas style, so you can order several things to share with your group. Be aware, you have to be 21 or older to eat here. Which makes it a great spot for date night. Make sure to make reservations, especially for Friday or Saturday as seating is limited.

Temper Grille is a wonderful place to eat and has a great atmosphere. The food is always delicious and the chef takes care to create daily specials that add another layer to their already tasty menu. The tapas style is an inventive and great way to share food with friends and loved ones. I would recommend to everyone!

Temper Grille...I call this my mini stay-cation. I truly appreciate the care in food preparation, presentation and menu selection.Comfort food for adults. Service has been outstanding every time. My favorite place for dinner, I always feel happy and relaxed while Im there !

The food was excellent. The Ahi tuna was very good just lightly seared. The steak bites were amazing. We shared 6 different dishes between my wife and I including a salad and dessert and everything tasted great. Service was pretty good also and nice ambiance. Only reason for taking off a star is theyre a bit overpriced for what it is. Still I would go back there but not very often due to the prices.

Yesterday was the first time I have ever been to Temper Grill. I went with my husband and his co-workers from Impress Jewelry Creations. The service was Excellent, and the food was Amazing. Our server Hayley was very nice and knowledgeable. What really stood out for me was not just the service, and the food, but the teamwork that happened in this restaurant. Each one of the staff members helped taking our plates when we were done and just worked together in whatever we needed. It was very awesome to see. We will for sure be coming back.

We went on a Saturday around 5pm and was perfect timing. Very quiet and no really anyone there. So we had the back room to ourselves (my husband and Iwhich was very nice because server made sure I had what I needed. The service was excellent. The food was pretty good. Out of everything we ordered we LOVED the Mac and cheese with pork belly. Like we couldnt stop talking about it. I was really surprised at the prices. We go to Chicago a lot and we dont even pay that much compared to what we had to pay here. Other then prices, I would come back for some drinks and the Mac and cheese.

Food is great, fun to go with a small group and try all of the incredible options together. If you dont like to share, you can get your own full-sized meal too! Steak bites and the chop salad were my favorites. You MUST save room for a truffle for dessert. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. The place was packed on a Thursday night, glad we had reservations. I also love the 21+ age restriction (BTW?! Why dont more places do this?!?!The Groupon use was an added bonus. This would be a great place to take clients/company dinner or special dinner event party. Parking is easy and convenient too.

One of the best restaurants Ive ever been to! We had a reservation for 8pm on a Saturday night. Top notch service and beer/wine selection is unreal. We had the steak bites, Korean beef wonton nachos, smoked wings, baked brie and omg...pork belly tacos!!!

To the posters saying that the portions are small, thats what tapas is... Small plates. The food here is great and I have never had a bad experience. Wait staff is friendly as well! Great wine selection! Try the baked Brie!

My husband and I just ate dinner here, it was truly AMAZING, loved, loved, loved the food. Everything we ordered was delicious. Would recommend the steak bites, pork bites, lobster bites, ahi tuna and the duck fat fried potatoes. I do not mind spending money on food that is cooked so well and flavors that are outstanding!!! I cannot believe we hadnt tried this place sooner. Roman was a wonderful server who explained everything about the menu and recommended the most popular tapas. My husband said it was the best meal he has ever had. We will definitely go back. I give this place 5 stars!!!!
