First Look: Chef Rocco Whalen’s Swanky Fahrenheit 2.0 Opens Friday

Twenty-one years ago, chef Rocco Whalen opened Fahrenheit, his flagship restaurant, on Tremont’s Professor Avenue. His constantly evolving, meat-focused hot spot proved visionary and helped put Cleveland’s culinary scene on the map.

Now, starting July 14, he launches the restaurant’s second act with a move to Downtown — and he’s doing in style with an expansive, posh new restaurant that features Public Square’s only rooftop and room for 700 diners.

“We’ve created a space that’s elegant, chic and, we think, will stand the time,” says Whalen. “We’ll also be making a tremendous amount of memories. After the first two decades in Tremont, there will still be room for many more.”

Whalen’s new Downtown spot is an open concept with elegant dining spaces and two patios, including a rooftop with gorgeous views of the city. Inside, an oversized chef’s table and elegant dining spaces transport visitors to an elevated dining experience.
