"We had such a terrible experience here -- orders mixed up, one very expensive item so poor in quality that it had to be sent back, and then we were essentially abandoned by the waiter and manager. Such a disappointment."

"Didn't realize the restaurant had closed about a year ago. This place is now basically eating at their bar. VERY disappointing. The food was fine and while the service was good, the whole atmosphere was just sad. Would never recommend this as a place to have dinner."

"First of all, I was expecting a restaurant like Fahrenheit, the one they've had upstairs for years. I knew it was expensive, but the ambiance was great. When I arrived, I found out that the restaurant no longer exists, just the bar and lounge. Okay so far. BUT the prices for dinner in the bar were exorbitant, like what you'd expect in the finest restaurant. Service was scant. It was noisy, as a bar should be, not what we wanted. AND THEN they double charged me for the dinner. When I called billing today, they said they only showed one charge and couldn't do anything about it now. However, my pending credit card statement shows two charges. One should also be aware that valet parking is $15 + tip. The bar does not validate."

"A wonderful spot to relax after a long week at work. The wood burning fire place sets the mood. The food was tasty and creative. A bit pricey -- but it is a Ritz -- and it is worth it."

"Very disappointing! Farenheit's used to be a great restaurant and I'm very surprised that the Ritz would allow their brand to be associated with a restaurant that is now nothing more than a quasi upscale bar and grill. The menu was limited. The wait staff new nothing about proper wine service. Overall it was just not what we expected and we would not have chosen to dine there if we had known what the dining experience had been reduced to."

"The food was very good and well prepared. Our waitress was also very kind and observant. In the end though, the price tag was a bit too much for what we received."
