    My food was really good, I ordered the stuffed mushrooms, iceberg wedge salad, and the salmon entree everything was delicious! The service could have been better, it took a while for the bartender to take for my order, she never took the empty plates. (I sat at the bar so it wasn’t much space) I did have a bunch of flies flying around my food. Also I don’t drink there wasn’t a mocktail option on the menu.

    Our server, Ben, was absolutely wonderful! He was polite, kind, and responsive. It was a bit chilly in the restaurant when we got there though. Every staff person we encountered was super-kind. My meal was terrific; for the most part, my mom's meal was great, but she felt a portion of her duck meal could have been cooked longer. Other than that, this was our first time at Fahrenheit and we were very impressed!

    I’m a returning customer so that is a big deal for me. The service,food and atmosphere were all very positive again . The only issue was when the patio heater nearest my table was turned off . My table was not against the restaurant brink exterior but up against the tented wall in the patio section. We were not asked about our temperature comfort level when the patio heater near our table was turned off; It was a very cold night and our feet ended up being cold. Other than that it was pretty great! The fresh “free bread “ all the appetizers and all three meals were delicious! So go!
