| - My husband and I dined here for the first time last evening. We were welcomed by a friendly and apologetic hostess because our table was not yet ready. No problem! We were early for our reservations anyway and we only had to wait about 5 minutes. After being seated we were quickly greeted by our server Henry, who promptly fulfilled our martini order. I had already pretty much settled on what I wanted to order before we got there. (I'm always checking out menus online.) However, he told us of the venison special which sounded intriguing! We ordered appetizers and mulled over what to choose for our main course. My husband started with the chorizo stuffed sweet dates, which were wrapped in bacon over a roasted tomato aioli and petite greens. They had a perfect balance of sweet, spicy., and smokey. I opted for the Rare Roasted Beef Carpaccio: Sliced Strip Steak, Greens, Miso Vinaigrette, Mango, Apple Syrup & Horseradish. (I just copied and pasted that one right off the menu!) All I can say is WOW! The beef was rare and tender and came wrapped around the greens. The mango and the apple syrup offered a hint of sweetness and the horseradish wasn't overpowering. Four of these rolled packages of deliciousness come in the order. Next time I think we'll just split an order of these and forgo the dates as our appetizer. (Don't get me wrong. The dates were awesome! It's just that the beef carpaccio was a more filling choice!) Time for the main course! We both chose the venison special at Henry's suggestion. I'm SO glad we listened to him! We enjoyed a hearty serving of thick-sliced venison in a reduction (Red wine? Cognac?) over a chestnut puree and topped with root vegetables. I have never before enjoyed such flavorful, moist, and tender venison! It was a perfect Autumn "Stick-To-Your-Ribs" dinner! The portions for both the appetizer and the main course were generous. I was stuffed! Henry offered dessert and I opted for a glass of port. (My standard "dessert"!) He offered to choose one for me. Since he didn't steer me wrong on the main course I accepted! My only stipulation was that it was tawny and "Not too old, if you know what I mean"! (I'm not a Rockefeller!) He asked if a 10-year old would be OK. Perfect! Our glasses of Port came with a small plate full of fresh plump blueberries, blue cheese, and macadamia nuts! Delicious and delightful!
I cannot come up with a single negative comment about our dining experience at Fahrenheit. The decor and the atmosphere were warm and inviting. The noise level was slightly loud but not so much that we couldn't hear each other from across the table. (The furnishings offered a lot of soft textiles to help dampen the noise....couches, curtains, etc....) The service was incredibly quick and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
I can't WAIT to return! I've got my eye on the butter poached Maine lobster Mac & Cheese!
