I am having a very difficult time deciding on an appropriate rating for our experience at Fahrenheit. Some of it was incredible, others regrettable. I guess 3 will have to do.
Our server, Marliena, earns 5 stars. She was attentive, cheerful, and a perfect example of what a server should be. Kudos!
Drinks: After reviewing the wine list, we decided that nothing on the menu was worth $45+ per bottle, so we opted for standard cocktails. We were served an incredibly average Maker's Manhattan, and a very poor Maker's Old Fashioned. Something about it was off that I just couldn't place. Marliena insisted on having it remade, and while it came back better than the first time, it was still not good.
Our appetizers, the crab cakes and dates, were good, although the sauces seemed off. I almost felt like the chef put them on the wrong plates, because the sauce with the dates probably would have gone better with the crab cakes. That said, the flavors were very tasty. One negative here: the crab cakes were certainly not jumbo lump crab, they were more like small, shredded crab bits.
For entrees, we opted for the Kobe Beef Short Ribs and the Lobster Mac & Cheese. A solid 4 stars here. These meals were full of flavor, texture, and style.
Overall, our experience was good....like the description, "A-OK". For a $104 tab with only 2 drinks, I expect the experience to be very good, and while the food itself was good, it didn't blow me away.
Other tidbits. If you can, ask for a table out of the direct light of the overhead track lights. Our table was almost blinding, which detracted from the atmosphere.
