The Federal

Sat down at about 6:30 and it was so loud I could not hear my dad talking across the table, appetizers were okay onion soup was amazing, it went down hill when we ordered air entrees, my dad ordered chicken on a brick and I ordered the grilled salmon The only thing good about the food. It was the presentation. my salmon came with Pinot Noir sauce that was cold, and my salmon was completely raw. However, my dad‘s chicken was cooked to death. I had a bite and I couldn’t see what it was so tough. Then we ordered dessert trying to end the meal on a good note. My dad ordered the sticky toffee pudding and it was cold and tasted like Chicken. I ordered the apple crème brûlée. The only apple tasting thing was a single apple slice they put on the top. Everything was so expensive, but they did take

We had our Valentine's Dinner at The Federal. We arrived early for our reservation, but they were able to get us a table right away! Our waitress was wondering wonderful. Very friendly, attentive, informative and available for our multitude of questions regarding the menu and specials. The clam chowder was very tasty, full of flavor and had a consistency of a soup rather than a thick chowder. Loved it. The Caesar Salad with anchovies on the side was tasty, but the lettuce was not as crispy as it should be. A bit disappointing. The escargo was delicious and the biscuit was very light and crispy. Excellent. Now for the entrees, the Valentine's Surf and Turf special was a Filet mignon cooked medium rare (great) and baked stuffed shrimp (crab meat) were very tasty. Asparagus was sof

The meal here was truly disappointing and fell flat. I ordered the salmon, while my partner chose the short rib pasta. Both dishes seemed simple but arrived bland and lacking in flavor. The mashed potatoes tasted artificial, likely made from potato powder or flour, with no real taste or texture. Even the escargot was underwhelming. Overall, I’d rate the food a 2 out of 10. The only bright spot was our server—friendly and sweet, but that wasn’t enough to save the experience.

Incredibly great food. Superb drinks. We came here for the first time about six weeks ago. Have been back every week! Very varied menu. Everything we have tried has been top notch. Appetizers are excellent tuna tartare is the best I’ve ever had served with an avocado wasabi cream! . First rate steaks and crispy fries!!! Nightly specials are fun. Tonight we had the pork Milanese, it was out of this world. Even the atmosphere, we prefer the bar side the lighting is perfect and the staff (Amina) are now friends! Do yourself a favor and get here!!!

First time here last night. We had friends suggest this restaurant and glad they did. Everything was delicious. Four of us shared the clams casino which were great. Each salad was fresh and beautifully plated. The Wellington was exceptional as was the duck. Steak was terrific. Our server Amina was a joy! So efficient and welcoming. So glad we tried it, we’ll definitely be back!
