    Fahrenheit provided an immersive dining experience for those who appreciate a fine dining experience. Everything from lighting, seating, service and food was well planned out. Our server, Mark was excellent and just what you would expect if dining somewhere that highlights service. There was a huge problem with finding the location in GPS, they acknowledged this and compensated us with free champagne and dessert. I will most definitely revisit Fahrenheit again when I visit Cleveland.

    Morton’s Steakhouse made for a very enjoyable and relaxing evening in the company of very attentive and pleasant servers. The food was delicious and worth the wait of the day. The salad was excellent and the steak was cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes were not truly mashed but the French Fries was to our instant liking so we forgot all about the mashed potatoes.

    Food and service was excellent. The acoustics carry loudly with everyone talk in a cozy place so so wouldn’t recommend for a “quiet getting to know” first date but definitely bring them there on a one month anniversary haha

    We’ve dined at Blue Point before over the years, but tonight was by far our favorite time. We took my daughter for our annual Christmas dinner and it could not have been more perfect. Our server, Hailie was so kind and attentive. She made the experience truly special for my daughter. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were perfect. The Christmas decorations at Blue Point are second to none and elicit the ambiance of a Manhattan restaurant during and holidays. We cannot recommend Blue Point or our server Hailie highly enough.
