About Tempest Seafood Restaurant and Teppanyaki Grill

Right on Scarborough Boat Harbour, diners gather for lively teppanyaki theatre alongside platters of fresh Moreton Bay bugs. Settle in by the marina edge or take a seat directly around the hot plate, where chefs dish out jokes and spatulas fly across multi-course grill sets. Tables share generous seafood platters stacked with prawns, calamari, and oysters, or tuck into bowls of bug and prawn linguini while watching docked boats sway on the water.

  • Interactive Teppanyaki Grill: Chefs put on high-energy cooking performances with comedic tricks across multi-course set meals right at the hot plate.
  • Harbourfront Marina Views: Open-air waterfront seating looks out over docked boats across Scarborough Marina.
  • Bountiful Local Seafood: Prawn and bug linguini, tempura prawns, and seafood platters loaded with oysters, calamari, and Moreton Bay bugs.
