Fahrenheit was not an overall bad experience. Maybe I had just heard too much built up about the place but by the end of the night I felt the place to be pretty overrated.
The hotel parking is easy to get to which was a plus. From then on the night went downhill. The hostess could not find our reservation which we made weeks in advance. Maybe a simple mix up.
Our waiter, while knowledgable about the menu items, seemed awkward and uncomfortable around our group. He spilled water twice while refilling glasses and accidentally dumped some leftovers of a plate onto my chair and leg. Not a big deal. Maybe he just had a bad night.
The music in the place was rather loud and made it difficult to talk. Even away from the noise of the bar in the center of the restaurant.
All in all the food turned out to be a weird mishmash of genres and styles of cuisine that didn't always successfully mesh. It seemed like the chef just threw together a lot of things that sound cool and appealing but just didn't work realistically together.
I ordered Pad Thai and it was your run of the mill Americanized Asian dish. Also tried the mushroom ravioli that was overbearingly earthy. Almost to the point of bitterness. The steamed buns with Kobe beef were good but the sweetness overpowered the beef. Again, just odd combinations of food with eye catching ingredients to make you think you're getting something special.
Here's the take-away:
You're paying for the view. The food is overrated. Service a little spotty. I would go again if invited, but would not choose to go as my own idea.
