The restaurant was decorated for the holiday and the food was outstanding. The place is small and the locals know the food is good so be sure to get a reservation. The food was a bit pricey, but the quality was great and servings were huge so you could probably get 2+ meals per serving. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall it was a great time.

The new appetizer sampler is phenomenal and a wonderful way for new guests to sample the most delicious appetizers on the menu. The new cocktail and mules, as well as several new entrees, were added to the menu 2 days before our arrival, and all of them were incredible. Their bourbon cart is a must try! None of us had room for dessert, but that just means that we will have to go back very soon to try them! Fahrenheit is THE BEST!!!
