Owner/chef Michael Howlett of Tempest Restaurant chose the right name for our visit. It was a stormy night indeed when we trooped into his open concept dining room of cool elegance in Wolfville. Truth be told, the name is multi-inspired, he said: he lived through hurricane Flloyd when working in the Caribbean, and has a love of Shakespeare. So the name comes honestly.

"...There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple: Good things will strive to dwell within it..." Shakespeare, The Tempest.
