    Absolutely the best!! Dont miss this place!! Beginning with the best bread and butter I've ever tasted. Bridget was the epitome of a waiter. Always smiling, attentive without overbearing. The ambience was moderate noise, easy to talk and a great view of the lake activity and the skyline of downtown Cleveland. The food was perfection. Oysters on the half shell were delicious, a bit small and pricey. The fried gren tomatoes were as good as we've ever had. The char-grilled swordfish with a potatoe puree, pearl onions and cooked cherry tomatoes was divine. The pan seared Hawaiian Tuna with bok choy, ginger, rice noodles, peppers and mushrooms and hazelnuts was to die for. A great bourbon selection, and tasty signature cocktails. Finished with a decaf with Baileys and pineapple upside down cake with coconut sorbet!

    My husband and I had the most amazing dining experience at Farenheit to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The ambiance, food and service were top notch. The extras such as the bourbon cart and the banana foster preparation tableside were so fun and really added to the already great experience. Our waitress was pleasant and very attentive. The bathrooms were clean, atmosphere was quiet and the short rib entree was so tender we didn't even need a knife. The cocktails were strong and my husband enjoyed the wine. We are talking about our next visit to Farenheit already! 12/10 would recommend!
