Tempo Urban Bistro founders and proprietors Steven and Karen Maynard are proud of the changes their hyperlocal urban bistro has experienced since their 2013 debut. “Our growth has been fueled by our caliber of menu offerings, continually reflected in our customers’ appreciation,” Chef Steven Maynard said. “As Verrado residents for over ten years, my wife Karen and I are very proud of our staff, and the joy they put into the preparation and execution of our menu offerings. We’ve added grass-fed burgers as a delicious and healthy lunch option. But the biggest culinary leap evolves from our dinner menu, enticing our patrons to try new flavor combinations.”
Karen Maynard beams when recalling highlights such as Chef Steven Maynard’s nomination two years in a row as “Best Chef” in Phoenix New Times’ Reader’s Choice Awards, their participation in Arizona Restaurant Week, and the addition of garage doors opening onto an al fresco patio, adding ambience to the dining experience overlooking Main Street.
“Whether it’s our culinary fare, a fresh interior update, giving back to good causes, or inspiration for our popular Wine Dinner Series, Karen and I are excited to be part of this great community,” Chef Steven said. “We want Tempo Urban Bistro to continue to be that beat on Main Street for friends, food, live music, craft beer, cocktails and fun!”
