It's been quite a while since our first visit to Fahrenheit. We just could not bring ourselves to…read morerevisit the auditory punishment we experienced the first time. We arrived to be greeted by an exemplary young man serving as the valet. He was exceedingly pleasant and personable. I appreciated his marvelous attitude toward his job and our service. The young women who greeted us upon entry were very kind and efficient. We were seated immediately at a very comfortable table. Shortly thereafter, a pleasant gentleman by the name of Ihab introduced himself as our server for the evening. He immediately filled our water, identified the various menus at the table, and took our drink orders. A while later our beverages arrived, he answered several questions and explained the evenings specials. I ordered the Grilled Avocado followed by Broiled Oysters "Rocco". My wife ordered the Potato Gnocchi with crab & lobster. We followed our meal with excellent coffee and a good Pot de Creme. In conclusion... the noise problem that so plagued us the first visit seemed to have been addressed. It was now more reasonable. Our server was a pleasant enough young man but he appeared spread thin. He was continually distracted by his many other tables. It was a bit inconvenient. Finally, the menu was respectable but predictable. There was nothing extraordinary about it.

Way overpriced with a garish and busy ambience. The food was good, maybe a B/B+ depending on the…read moredish (potato nachos were an A, short rib was B/B+, cheesecake was C-; just some examples). But 20% too expensive for what it was. To add insult to injury, the valet outside was a racket - it's not clear, but it turns out anywhere you park on the street they will force you to valet even though it's not marked. The best part was our great server. She seemed an exception. But the price was so nuts I wouldn't go back, just not worth it.

I was able to visit in a recent trip to the city and would recommend it to those going for a visit as well. Located in the House of Blues, you'll have to enter through the 4th strewn door and head straight to the back. Most "speakeasies" I have visited in the US are pretty obvious (like someone sitting in a chair, directing you to a set of stairs behind them to enter the "speakeasy"), but with the entrance to this one tucked away behind a place with live music and food, it had more of an authentic feel. The friend with me that night even questioned if we were in the right place as I strolled to the back of the restaurant and walked up to the girl seated at a podium. "Excuse me, but is this the way to the foundation room?" I asked her. She affirmed, and we were soon on our way up an elevator. When we got to the second floor, we were promptly greeted by a host, Julius, who showed us around. The decor is sumptuous, a blend of Moroccan, Indian, and Jacobean flair. After checking out a room with relics from an Indian temple and looking at the rooftop (with an Instagram-worthy floral wall), we decided to grab a cozy spot near the bar and ordered a drink. As we sipped on our Old Fashioneds, Julius came by to check on us, and we watched the place fill up with an array of people in a festive mood. It was a lovely way to end a night in Cleveland, and a place I highly recommend that you check out when you're in the area!

What's going on in your gut is going to affect your mood -- anxiety, depression, and focus." DR. FRANK LIPMAN Dance competition food options are often limited. My daughter and I prefer to eat clean. I cannot tell you how happy we were with the options and quality of food. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious! My daughter had a custom BYOB option and the service was amazing! They nailed her order with zero mistakes. We will visit REBoL again in person. Highly recommended!!

The broth is self had an anxiousness and body that just warmed up your soul. I cannot recommend the bone broth enough. The cookies and brownies were absolutely fantastic, gluten-free, which I love. They did not disappoint, one of the best brownies I've had in a very long time and very much guilt free. I didn't love the customer service interaction, ordered on screen twice and face-to-face once. Maybe I caught them on a certain day, but service was very matter fact, and not overly friendly or welcoming. I definitely recommend this place, I absolutely would come back here if I was in downtown Cleveland. And what recommended as a must go to to anyone who's visiting the downtown area

After waiting about 10 minutes with no acknowledgment from anyone, I decided to at least check out the restroom while I waited... and that's when everything went downhill. The floors were extremely sticky--every step literally felt like my shoes were pulling off the ground. It didn't feel clean at all. As I got closer to the restroom area, there was a strong smell of what I can only describe as wet, moldy rags. The bathroom itself was dark, oddly designed, and just gave an overall uncomfortable vibe. What made it worse is that the place wasn't even busy--there was only one table and a couple people at the bar. So the lack of service and cleanliness really stood out. By the time I walked back to the bar, I had already made up my mind. No one had still acknowledged me, and based on the condition of the place, I wasn't willing to take a chance on the food. I grabbed my things and left. Later on, I mentioned it at another restaurant and was told this place is known for poor food quality and lack of authenticity--which honestly aligned with what I experienced just from being inside. I can't speak on the food since I didn't stay, but based on cleanliness, smell, and service alone, I would not recommend this spot. It gave the impression that basic upkeep isn't a priority, and that's not something I'm willing to overlook.
