- NNicoleKansas City / Kansas •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoChristmas Eve dinner with our adult children. Our server was exceptional and the food was amazing. Subtracted for value because it’s not a budget restaurant. It was expensive but we knew that going into it. The food and drinks were well worth the price we paid. All the dishes met or exceeded expectations. Lovely restaurant.More infoHearsay on the GreenPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
- JJeremyLas Vegas •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis place is amazing, we go every time we are near the theater district. Most times I am more excited to eat there than go to a show. It is not only a great restaurant, but very historical building. They have pictures of timeline on the wall. Great menu for anyone’s taste in my opinion.More infoHearsay Market SquarePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.5

All were well prepared and flavorful. We had not been to this Federal Grill location before, but will return.
