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!!!

This original restaurant location always impresses me and any guests! It’s intimate and, even during restaurant week, their attention to service was intact. I’d recommend this spot for any celebration or to explore Brazilian cuisine.
