I hate writing this because I want them to succeed, but the dinner we had at Tempest the other night was awful. We've gone there several times but this hit a new low.\n\nThe mussels were good but the \""sauce\"" was way over salted (and we like salt!). The relish tray was a nice touch. Our dinners, too, were way over salted. I had the blue marlin which at least was edible. My husband had the halibut  and it was horrible. Mushy, oddly \""breaded\"" and way too salty. Our waiter was nice and had a cute sense of humor. Unfortunately, when we told him about the over-salted food he said that was good to know yet did nothing else. We even gave him back a partially eaten, mostly not, plate of halibut and he didn't react. I did not want to make things difficult for him but I was surprised that he was not empowered to make things right. It just felt funny.\n\nI hope they read this and it helps them see why they had between 50-75% capacity on an otherwise active night in Madison.
