We decided to go to Fahrenheit during restaurant week and perhaps that impacted our experience. We arrived promptly and decided to grab a drink at the bar while our friends arrived - lively bar scene and good cocktail menu. The atmosphere is very "high end hotel restaurant" somewhat bland, lots of glass to take advantage of the view and a ton of fireplaces. Not bad but also not really unique.
Once we were seated we were shown the menu - our waiter was solid but obviously was looking to upsell the regular menu. Two members of our group have allergies so they ordered off the regular menu and the kitchen was VERY flexible and helpful in identifying ingredients and tailoring their meals. For the rest of us it was straight-forward.
My biggest issue is with the food itself - while the menu highlights the complexity of ingredients (ie local beets and pickled ginger) the actual product does not reflect that complexity in taste. The calamari was average at best, the hanger steak nothing exceptional (and the portion size was VERY small). Deserts were good but again lack imagination.
Perhaps this is because they are trying to contain costs during Restaurant Week. However, if the intention is to bring diners to the restaurant so that they come back, why scale back the tastes and portion sizes? Finally, we were annoyed that they tacked on a 22% tip for our party of six - while our server did point it out to us, it seems odd to do this for a small group.
Overall there are much better options in Charlotte - we went to Carpe Diem last week during restaurant week and had a stellar experience, much better than this. Other than the view, this is not a place to go out of your way for.
