Can't wait to go back!
Superb food, great mixture of tastes and really, it's not that highly priced as some may think. My dish was very good (The Asparagus Mascarpone ravioli), although I had wished there were more mushrooms throughout the plate, as there were only 2 1/2. That was the only dissapointment about my dish...I love mushrooms and I thought there would have been at least 4. Our server was very nice and we had a big party. He had forgotten to bring one of our guests a glass of wine, but took it off her check so it wasn't a problem. Rocco was nice enough to step aside from his busy work (on a Saturday night) to take a picture with our Bride-to-be.

Fabulous Food, Exceptional Experience
This is truly Cleveland's finest - Chef Rocco is gifted and a treasure for Cleveland. The sea scallops were perfectly prepared, the lobster nachos an unexpected surprise and the short ribs were insanely off the chart incredible. The service was perfect and our waiter answered all our questions about the wine - he suggested the perfect glass to accompany the scallops. Delightful atmosphere that wraps you like a warm blanket on a cold winter night.

Great Food Poor Service!
We've eaten here at least a dozen times. The food is always fantastic. I can tell you on at least 3 of the occasions we have received similar service as others have noted here. We had to ask for drinks at dinner, dinners came out all at different times and when we sat at the bar we were ignored for 10 mins and people that came in after us were served. We dearly love Rocco but some of the bartenders that show off their assets rather than their skills leave much to be desired. Can't blame you for wanting a good tip just keep an eye on your customer!

Heavenly & Memorable!
I cannot imagine stepping out of Fahrenheit with anything other than a feeling of complete satisfaction as well as anticipation of returning! From the Tiger Prawns to the creme brulee that simply melts in your mouth ... I would say that the ambiance, food, and owner himself all rated high in my books! The service was excellent, despite the fact that the restaurant was packed. Although the company I was with was pleasing in itself, I do not think that swayed my sense that the wait for a table was not long at all. The pricing was as expected for such a fine establishment: I have paid much more for far less service, food, and excellence.

I Feel My Temperature Rising
Last night I was at Fahrenheit for the 1st time with a party of 8. We had a reservation for 7:30 and were seated promptly upon arrival which was nice. The food was very good, I had the sea bass with lentils...excellent. Unfortunately the service was not the same. It seemed to take forever to get our 1st round of drinks brought to the table. Our server did not take notice when our glasses were empty...we sat there for around 25 minutes before I mentioned to her that we would like another round. Our entres were brought to the table while some of us were still eating our appetizer and salads. The waitress was annoyed that they had to be brought back until we were finished with apps. Then when we were sitting after dessert finishing our coffee when our waitress informed us that we need to leave the table because the next party was there (10:30p.m). We couldn't believe it! One of our party spoke to the owner/chef...he bought us a round of drinks. Our bill was $800...I don't think we deserved that kind of treatment.

Don't sit at the bar!!
I will tell you this, I am a glutton for punishment. I have been to Farenheit around 15 times. I love the food. The problem is each time we go there we sit at the bar or at the bar tables. Big mistake. The bar service could possibly be the worst in town. Apps without silverware, no bread, empty drinks... the list goes on and on. The last time we were there our wine (that we had order with the apps) showed up halfway through the main course! We couldn't bring it to the bartenders attention because she never looked in our direction let alone checked in us. I will go back (I must like pain) but I will sit as far away from the bar as possible!

Eat, Drink, Be Romantic
I've rediscovered Chef Rocco recently and I'm thrilled to find if I want to stop for a late evening cocktail or an early evening wine and pizza it's the place to go. If I want a fabulous dinner with so many choices of excellent food from every category Fahrenheit is the place. It's not inexpensive, no really good food in NEO is, but you can enjoy the place a little [drinks and appetizers] or a lot [dinner] and that's what's turning me into a regular. I don't like the bar area when it gets smoky, that's my one negative comment.

Too Dark and Too Pricey!
Attended this restaurant with friends almost 2 years ago for a few Appetizers and Drinks. The bill was pretty high. We sat at the bar, and it is very dark on one side, and is almost depressing. Does not lend to a light and airy atmosphere. Probably a bit over-rated for what you are paying for.

Great Food but Too Dark
The food is creative, tasty and artfully presented. The service is adequate.
The place is too dark to read the menu.
Ask for a few extra candles when you get there.
Nice atmosphere.
A little pricey for what you get but, overall a good choice, especially if you're looking for something differnt.

Hot & Cold
We had a small group on a weekday December night. I would rate my lamb as very good. No one raved about thier order. We had a number of wines, all excellent. The restauraunt was so dark I could not see the menu. We were next to the window and the person sitting next to me needed to wear a heavy winter coat due to the cold. The waitress was very personable and friendly. However the orders were switched among our party but it was so dark we could not see it until we started. The servers should have asked or confirmed if they were unsure of who got what. I would readily go again if someone else was treating but not spend my own money. I say give it a try.

Don't be surprised to see Fahrenheit's chef/owner Rocco Whalen behind the bar, sitting at a table or engaging patrons at the door - Whalen, who cooked under Wolfgang Puck at three of the superstar chef's restaurants, has learned a thing or two about working the crowd. That he spends so much time on the floor underscores the confidence he has in his kitchen, which turns out dishes as sexy as the darkly decorated restaurant itself: crispy-fried sesame oysters with sweet saikyo miso and spicy coleslaw, house-smoked duck breast pizza topped with caramelized pears and Carr Valley cheddar, and coffee-and-mustard-crusted pork tenderloin. For dessert, do the grown-up thing and order a peanut-butter cup martini, a fabulously sweet - and strong - combination of vodka, buttershots, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, Godiva Dark and cream, all garnished with a Reese's peanut-butter cup.

Get Over It
Admittedly, the food and drinks are very tasty. Fabulous chef and the bartenders are truly gifted.
The service however is absolutely repugnant. The same goes for most of the clientele - unless you enjoy the ultimate in drunken Suburbanite slumming.
There are far better places to go in Tremont/Ohio City without all the hoopla and high dollar menu.
