The ambulance, filet and service were fantastic but the salmon was over cooked and no flavor. I would not order again it was very disappointing.

The food was incredible and the personnel were so attentive. Great cocktails too and the price was reasonable. The only thing I would change: food portions… otherwise, no complaints. Will be back for another excellent experience!

I wish it was informed by the restaurant staff ahead that preferred quite time schedules are post 9:00pm. We came in at 7:00 pm on Wednesday and the all the tables were full with clients which is great for the business but it was pretty noisy. It was so noisy that Chinese Buffet noise level was much elegantly elevated compared to what I experienced at Fahrenheit that night. People come here to have a romantic date/anniversary and high level meetings. Unfortunately I couldn’t feel such elegancy vibe during our visit due to the high noise level by the other tables around. Maybe having a classical music in background can help to let people know to calm it down bit
