Tempo Description:
Splashes of color bring pizzazz to this stylish suburbanite, a self-dubbed American bistro with a menu that is likewise clean and contemporary, though hardly cutting-edge. It makes reference to all the requisite cuisines---Asian, Latin, European---as it incorporates everything from prosciutto to green tea to puff pastry. Philly steak and cheese spring rolls are gooey and addictive; flash-fried calamari is passably crisp. The real draw here is the "Seven Before Seven" menu, which draws local professionals seeking inexpensive appetizers at happy hour; each small plate is a mere $7. Dinner, meanwhile, covers all the bases, though not especially memorably. Still, Waltham needs a hangout like this; while such spots are ubiquitous within city limits, they're relatively rare out here. So Tempo---as the name suggests---makes for a nice change of pace.
