Fahrenheit Restaurant & Lounge Reviews List
Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"The food was satisfactory, the service efficient and impersonal. The restaurant caters more to the nighttime scene for individuals rather than focus on its culinary merits. At first, we were seated by the DJ and had to be moved to the opposite end of the restaurant so we could hear ourselves."

Review 2 for Fahrenheit Restaurant & Lounge

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Well what an odd but fun place this is. The food was imaginative and mostly perfect. There were a few losing items but for the most part - it was great. The ambience is alive, trendy (almost trying too hard), and had good music played by a great DJ - it was just tooooo loud to dine by. The best part was our waitress who was the Food & Bev manager who has worked there for many years. SHe was personable, funny, knowledgable, efficient and helped us make some GREAT GREAT food decisions. She's worth the visit alone and frankly made the visit nearly perfect. Now if they could just train the little princess hostess who was too busy on her cell having a personal call or chatting up some boy who she was flirting with. Not a good 1st impression."

Review 5 for Fahrenheit Restaurant & Lounge

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"I was a bit skeptical when I entered and it was empty. The restaurant/lounge has a nice atmosphere and was playing music, since I went on Fat Tuesday. I was rather impressed with the food. It was a lot better than I had anticipated.

Appetizers:
1) Tuna tartare - was good with the chips, by itself, it was a bit fishy
2) Crab Cake - Really good

Dinner
1) Lamb Chops - a bit overcooked. over seasoned in my opinion, but they were good
2) Skirt Steak - tasty and juicy, can't really go wrong with this
3) Duck - This was the best of the dishes. It was surprisingly really good.

Dessert - Get the Banana Foster!"

Review 6 for Fahrenheit Restaurant & Lounge

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"Early reservation as to make it to a show at 7:30 pm. Upon entering the dining room we were sat in the middle of an empty restaurant and never asked if we would prefer another table. and as for the table - Broken and wobbley. Food was mediocer at best, nothing to write home about. Server was OK nothing to get excited about. the only saving grace was Guiness on tap. Would not reccomend for the foodie in you. It may be a great late night lounge - that was how I percieved their intentions - Not a Restuarant."

"The service was awesome! They always check on you and always fill your empty glass of water. The food was great and they played some music which was cool because most restaurants you just hear loud noise and conversation. Their drinks are delicious! I would definitely go here again."

Review 10 for Fahrenheit Restaurant & Lounge

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"The food was very good. We went at 6pm so there was only about 6 other people in the place. We were going to the theatre after dinner so I told our waiter. He said he will make sure to have us out in an hour. He did just that. Food came out quickly. We did 4 appetizer and for the price we thought the portion were a little small. The tuna was awesome. The french Fries were to die for. So over all we would go back again."

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"I had been here for drinks with friends and found the place unbearably "sceney," but wanted to try it for dinner before the crowd took over. I was pleasantly surprised and so was my companion. The food was good, the service was friendly and solid, and we had a lovely time. They excel at appetizers and I could make an entire meal out of them. One vegetable dish was incredibly spicy, but they fully warned me about it."

"We've passed by Fahrenheit many times while living in San Jose, but never ventured in... what a great place for a delicious dinner. The dining room is set so that you won't feel crowded with a mixture of tables for diners and "living room" settings for those looking to share their many "small plate" options. The service was very attentive."
