| - Oh mah freaking gawd! AMAZING, ah-mazing, a m a z i n g !
First things first... we made reservations for Friday night at 7pm, the bar was hopping at this point (haaaappy hour!) but there were plenty of tables open when we got there, that eventually filled before we left.
Now let me just say that our visit to Fahrenheit last night is now honestly on the top of my list of nights out in 2013. The food was delish, the drinks hit the spot, the servers were fantastic and knowledgeable, and the ambiance was very trendy, cool, laid back, and classy all at the same time. The decor screamed classic contemporary to me, and I was in love. Dark woods, jazzy light fixtures, white table clothes, contemporary chairs, tall gold booths, and a "wine cellar"? LOVE.
One of the first things I noticed about Fahrenheit was the diversity of seating. Are you alone? Sit at the bar. Do you have a date? Sit at one of the tables nestled in the back. Are you in a group? Put any number of tables together in different areas and you have room for the whole party. I couldn't stop thinking about how well the layout of the restaurant lent itself to different functions - solo happy hour, first dates, double dates, family celebrations, work holiday parties, rehearsal dinners... that is until the "Cleveland" Nachos got to our table (and I don't even like goat cheese! - see my Lolita review). Then all I could think about was how to get more of the delectable crispy fried potatoes in my mouth. Seriously. Then I tried the "All Day Bacon" appetizer, mmm melt in your mouth bacon atop some kind of delicious cornmeal. Wowza. I ordered the Lemonade Stand martini (berry vodka and lemonade) to drink - very refreshing.
We could see the kitchen from where we were seated, which I really love about a restaurant. Per Fahrenheit's website "the menu changes seasonally to make the most of current harvests and the freshest produce, herbs and spices" - how fab. I ordered the Coffee and Mustard Crusted Pork Tenderloin (Maple Glazed Sweet Potato, Garlic Spinach, Toasted Macadamia Nuts), which I was told has been a long standing popular menu item and the boy toy ordered the menu item that Fahrenheit is well known for - the Kobe Beef Short Ribs (Teriyaki Lo-Mein Noodles, Bitter Broccoli, Baby Bok Choy, Roasted Mushrooms, Ginger, Soy-Apple Glaze). These dishes cost us (ok, him) a pretty penny - but the price was well worth the experience and the deliciousness of the food. I'm not gonna say I wouldn't be happy if the menu prices were slightly lowered because if they were I'd be able to go back a whole lot sooner!
Note on parking - this is Tremont... there was limited street parking available, we got a spot right outside around the corner; but they have valet available directly out front in case you can't find one.
I want to come back for every date night, birthday, or special occasion and I want to bring everyone I know with me so they can partake in the awesome deliciousness that is Fahrenheit. Yum.
