    The ambiance is formal and relaxed (oxymoron noted). I thought a few attention to details would have elevated the experience, medium rare should be medium rare not well done, attention to details when setting up the table like ensuring all the cutlery and serviettes are at the table needs to be sharpened. Having said which the food was good and portions were large and presentation was great especially the deserts. I would go back despite the minor errors. Lastly it's great if you have children.

    One of my favourite family restaurants in Benoni. My family and I are always given the first class treatment here and my two boys love the spacious playing area. The two waiters (Godfrey and Philani) go out of their way to make us feel welcomed and that is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend it 👌🏾

    Had Christmas lunch here with the family and the food was absolutely amazing!! Restaurant was pretty full but even so the food was to die for. Service was a bit slow on the drinks but friendly. Would definitely visit again

    I went there for dinner with a friend in a Friday evening. Our waitress was really friendly and the restaurant was beautiful. The food was sadly not on par with our expectations. The calamari starters were served with a deliciously addictive spicy creamy sauce but the dish itself was served in a steel bowl. If you're a dog owner you might see why that is a problem 😅. The snails were cooked well but tasted bland and there were very little sauce to dip the bread with. For the mains we got a chicken schnitzel burger and their 300g fillet. The schnitzels were great, tender and flavourful and the chips and onion rings were on point. The burger itself needed more sauce though as it was quite dry. The most disappointing was (surprisingly) the fillet. While it was nicely cooked to medium rare, the meat itself was dry and lacked any juice. It is soft and tender at first but as you chew it you realise how dry the cut is. We wanted to mention something but our waitress was nowhere to be seen and only checked up on us when we were pretty much done. We got a mango lemonade jug and there was some black substance that looked like a seed in the jug... it was not a seed when we picked it out 😅 I really wanted to like this place but wow that was not it.

    I was treated so beautifully here. The service was superb, and the food was amazing. I didn't expect the portions to be as large as they were, and a couple times as I leisurely consumed my meal I thought it would have been a perfect one to share. I definitely recommend making a stop at Fahrenheit if you're hungry and want a quality meal. Thank you so much to the staff! Thank you for making me feel welcome and for taking such great care of me!

    Ample parking. Clean ablution facilities. Good service. Good food. Pleasant atmosphere. Pricing, slightly above average but the good food makes up for that. Portions (veggies, chips) could be a bit bigger. Side plate was not properly clean. For the rest I will definitely recommend this restaurant.

    For a place with such a good reputation, I was disappointed in the food. I had the Delux Carpaccio as a starter. It was an incohesive dish from start to finish. The springbok was nice, but the massive raw onion pieces sprinkled on top had no place there. I picked it off immediately. The olives weren't pitted, the sunflower and pumpkin seeds added texture but didn't do much for the taste of the springbok. There was a random half avo sliced up on the side of the dish. The provolone cheese was dry as if it had stood out for some time. I never received a berry vinaigrette, which could have brought this dish together. Ultimately, it's a disappointing dish. For mains, I had the fillet lobster. My fillet was ordered medium rare, i received it well done. It was so dry and begging for a sauce. The lobster tails are the size of a small prawn. They, too, were overcooked. When i tried getting them out of the shell, the meat flaked apart. The chips were good and the veggies were so bland I didn't bother eating them. If anyone is reading this for advice, I'd say trade the veg for more chips! My colleagues seemed to have picked the better dishes by far. They had the sirloin on the bone, which looked far more appetizing than my meal. The atmosphere was great, the waiter was excellent and the beers/tequila was nice and cold. Well done on that. Update: How am i supposed to DM you, i need contact information please.

    The food wasn't that tasty. It was not the same experience as at Edenvale, but the kids' play area was great 👍

  • 5/5 Delon T. 1 year ago on Google • 74 reviews
    I personally haven’t been to this restaurant in a few years. Didn’t expect such a good experience, food was extremely delicious and interior was well decorated. Would like the dishes to be slightly more well decorated for the prices though.

  • 1/5 Mari-Lize Van Der S. 2 years ago on Google
    I can't say that the service was horrible, because the service was non existing! Was waiting a half an hour for a waiter to serve us. While waiting children was running around sneezing without any masks, no Covid protocol were followed. The staff was incredibly unfriendly and it almost seemed that they were glad we just left after ordering nothing at all. I would definitely not recommend Fahrenheit Seafood & Grill Benoni.

    I really enjoy the food at this restaurant, the service is good and so are their cocktails. I think it is a bit pricy though. My one issue is that I feel maybe they focus more on the main course than the extras that come with it (I.e your veg or chips etc) because the main course is delicious but I haven't enjoyed my veg or chips once and i had to pay extra for the sauce on my schnitzel. Otherwise, a lovely restaurant. I highly recommend their chicken.

    Steak House + Good Seafood Options. Norwegian Salmon was huge. Prices ranging from R100 to R200 for most mains. Friendly staff. Atmosphere was calm. Unique decor to behold. Went with the In-laws, so great company was already sorted. :) Leka coffee.

    From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The menu offered a tantalizing array of options, making it hard to choose, but every dish we tried was simply exquisite. Overall, dining at Fahrenheit was a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and a memorable dining experience.

  • 5/5 Mich-Juan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, excellent food and the waiters know their menu's well and if you don't know what you want you can ask them what they recommend and they'll have a great suggestion. Its definitely a night out and/or family dinner perfect!!! A nice and warm welcome atmosphere and a huge playground for the kiddos.

  • 5/5 Bernadette S. 3 years ago on Google
    Had an AMAZING time. Our waiter Phylani was one of the best waiters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His service is excellent and we had a lovely conversation with him. Speaking as one that works in the restaurant industry as a waiter and manager, I know when I see excellent service and mountains load of potential. Will definately be back for the food, but mainly just for this waiter.

  • 3/5 Allen H. 2 years ago on Google
    I wasn't overly impressed. The Calamari dish that I ordered was tasteless. Other dishes ordered like the rump and nachos were apparently good.

  • 5/5 Ayah S. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious wow wow we first ordered takeaway dinner and when we arrive at the hotel and opened our takeaway wow the portion size the smell the freshness I really enjoyed my grilled hake and malva pudding desert. The following day we went for a sit-in for lunch & ordered a sharing 1.1kg plate of lamb chops to say delicious is an understatement and the vibe inside the restaurant with nice music and the kiddies play area very family friendly. Overall we were impressed

  • 2/5 Lawrence O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great restaurant, waiters are friendly and the environment is nice and warmly but the food however is where everything go south, in a space of 2 weeks i went there and the menu left a sour taste in my mouth. The steak that I ordered was too thin and last week i tried lamb shank and tasted like it was frozen for a month they just warmed it up from a freezer.

  • 5/5 Mickel S. 2 years ago on Google

    We had the seafood platter. The sauces were cold. The bigger prawns didn't peel. The fish were full of bones. The service was good. The food wasn't.

  • 5/5 Elise H. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommended. Make a reservation, as they are popular. Great food, nice restaurant. Staff is friendly and very professional. Our waitress, Dorcas is a star and super efficient. This will become a regular place to visit.

  • 5/5 Cindy M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were a big group that went here. The service was good, our waiter very friendly. I ordered the 400g steak with chips and cream spinach and it was devine. Everyone else around the table was happy too. My friend had the platter for one looks yummy too.Will be back for sure. Just one suggestion please play better music, it was actually irritating after a while to listen to your choice of music!

  • 4/5 Linda N. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Impecable service, ambiance, and cuisine made for an excellent even of dining! I highly recommend this restaurant for their seafood, considering we are inland, the some of the best seafood I have had in Guateng. Be aware that pre bookings are compulsory . Try booking one day ahead or early the same day to avoid a full house. Ample parking and easy to find the restaurant.

    Thank you Fahrenheit for making my parents 50th wedding anniversary a memorable one. The food was amazing and our waiter Lydia was excellent!

  • 5/5 CK Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Food excellent tho dry aging was probably not for as long as should have been so flavourful didn't quite shine, but tenderness, presentation and their attention to detail definitely shows. Wait staff knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful, kids play area full of fun for the kids, staff in the area to assist when needed and very visible. Are was closed in and had o e entrance which ensures safety for children. Restaurant is able to cater for all as they have cleverly segregated the kiddie area, the main dining room has a rather upmarket ambience, while the outdoor section is relaxed and surrounds the playground which is a plus for families with children that are young.

    Fahrenheit Seafood and Grill was great, we visited on a Monday when they had the steak special, it was great and cooked exactly as requested, I do recommend a visit on a Monday to give it a try. We also had starters which was very good. The Restaurant also had a good vibe and the service very efficient. I will be back again for the steak special on a a Monday.

  • 4/5 Sheila B. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered takeout on New Years Eve. Seafood pasta was amazing. Squid head starter - tasty but accompanying sauce was not good - like sandwich spread. Their Ribs which are a signature dish where not fantastic - tasted like steak. Husband expecting tangy, sticky sauce over ribs. While were moist and tender, had no sauce and little rib taste.

  • 4/5 Pertunia “Pazia” M. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to dine at. The place is clean and neat, with Covid-19 protocols being adhered to. The distance between the tables is more than adequate and the waiters keep a respectable distance when assisting you. Very satisfied with the service 😀
