| - The warm weather is here, and so is a full summertime schedule of nights out with the girls. I headed to Fahrenheit with a few of my coworkers for a celebratory dinner and let's just say, my first dining experience with Rocco did not disappoint.
To our surprise and delight, Fahrenheit offers a three course dinner special Mon-Thurs. from 5-7. I know it's dangerously close to "Early Bird Special" territory, but trust me, the earlier dining time is worth it. For $30, you get three delicious courses. Granted, the choices are limited, but the size of the portions and the flavors are still large and in charge.
I went with the chicken spring rolls for my appetizer because I don't think you can go wrong with a deep-fried dish. They were crispy and flavorful, and there was an amazing dipping sauce and pickled cucumber salad to accompany it. I took the server's recommendation and tried the pork tenderloin for my entree, and let's just say, I nearly licked my plate clean because it and the sweet potato puree it was draped across was that good. I capped off the meal by stuffing myself silly with the banana mascarpone cheesecake which was my ideal dessert -- sweet, creamy and rich.
Our server was friendly, attentive and informative. Our white pear sangria was out of this world. And who doesn't love Ohio City in the summer? I think I've just found the perfect spot for all my weeknights out.
