| - Did dinner for two on a hot Saturday night. Reservations made on Monday were necessary to secure a seat.
Upon arrival we opted for valet service to avoid the parking battle. I'm going to guess that was a wise idea based on how busy Tremont was. Once inside, we were met by the hostess who was all business and got us seated almost immediately. We were happy with the seating but immediately notice how loud the place was. Despite the small two seater, we found ourselves nearly yelling at each other for the remainder of the evening to compensate for the volume.
Our server was great and left us with nothing but good things to say about Fahrenheit's service.
Drinks were good. A spritzer of sorts for the wife and a traditional Mule for me. Mule was a bit heavy on the ginger, but not enough to prevent me from finishing it off.
On to the Cleveland Nachos for an app. These are wonderful but quite heavy and are a massive portion. Easily takes care of four.
For the main course, wife did the scallops and I opted for their legendary beef short ribs. Both were good, but nothing that knocked our socks off. The scallops were a bit overdone leaving them rubber like and chewy. Not bad enough to send back, but close. The short ribs were good, but nothing that has me running back for more.
Dessert was the Mason Jar filled with angel food cake, strawberries, milk curd... I would go on, but the result doesn't justify the effort. Boring, difficult to eat, and kind of disappointing.
In the end it was about a $200 night that was worth about half of that. Would we return? Maybe (that leans more to the side of no).
A side note. About an hour after getting home we both felt quite ill. I can't draw any direct correlation to our meal, but it's certainly suspect.
