| - Went to Fahrenheit on a Friday last month (February 2012) for happy hour / dinner.
Drinks: I started with Fahrenheit's take on the long island, can't remember the exact name but it was "someone's" tea, on the HH menu for $5. It was tasty, but just not quite there. The server mentioned he's still perfecting the recipe. I preferred the $4 (HH) Rocco red, a Malbec that apparently Chef Whalen worked with a winery in Argentina to create.
Food:
* HH fries, minus parmesan. Good, but not standout.
* House salad with miso dressing. Tasty.
* Vegan white bean & tofu ravioli from HH menu. This was a standout dish. It was rich, savory and delicious, served in a reduced tomato sauce with mushrooms. As I ate it, I could not stop thinking, " I can't believe this is vegan, AND only cost me $4." Huge win. I will be going back for this dish as long as it's available. Will likely try a different salad to pair it with, though.
Service: Personable, friendly and timely.
Cool things:
* Menu insert called "Fahren-lite" lists several dinner options with lower calorie counts. I'm not a huge fan of basing healthiness on calorie count alone, but it was nice to see health called out at a local restaurant.
* Tasting menu, offered Monday-Thursday 5 p.m. to close, offers 3 selections for $30. If you're not a picky eater, this would be a great way to experience Fahrenheit on a budget.
Downside: Beer list leaves something to be desired.
