Fahrenheit is all about the city view. If there is a tourist trap bar in Charlotte, I think this would be it.\n\nAtmosphere - Hot (on this evening, literally), fire...fire...intense evening sun, noisy, nicely set up (except why are there bright lights on outside in the balcony area during the night that take away from the beautiful view of the city?), crowded, fancy/ trendy wanna-be peps, and Thursday evening business travelers laying waste to their expense accounts.\n\nService - Accommodating, helpful, pretentious air...but expected to make the place feel special.\n\nFood - To me, it is fancy-sounding appetizers and pricey drinks that mainly makes up Fahrenheit. The place does offer a full dinner menu, but I was here for apps and drinks on this night. My table ordered a few items: Spring Rolls, Mr. Fungi Roasted Mushroom Pizza, and Chorizo Stuffed & Bacon Wrapped Dates. While the wrapped dates sounded delicious, I did not have an opportunity to try them, as they went quickly. I did get to sample the pizza and spring rolls, which were ok but nothing that made me go \"wow.\" The apps were standard fancy bar fare of super thin pizza and indistinguishable spring rolls. I should have grabbed a date when I had the chance.\n\nOverall - Fahrenheit does have a very nice view of the city. I am not sure where else in the CLT you could get such a nice view. For that you should come here for at least one drink. While the \"look at me\" crowd, pricey drinks, and so-so apps were what I expected as soon as I heard we were going here; the blazing evening sun overtaking the cool a/c was something I didn't expect. Though by its name, I should have at least anticipated it.
