    Ham and turkey were dry. Gravy was salty. Everything else was bland. We won’t be going back next Thanksgiving

    Place was ready for us on arrival. We were seated at a high rise, though we had reserved standard seating. Server was excellent and manager came by several times to check on us and chat. Good selections were outstanding and well prepared and presented. Overall atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable.

    We went there for the Thanksgiving meal. Meat was dry; it was expensive for a so-so meal. Waiter and staff very friendly. Food not worth the price.

    Genuinely a great spot to dine and have a good time while doing it. The food is always great & the quality always on point. The service here makes you feel like family no matter if it’s your first time or your 100th time. We love the high tops and the bartender staff is always on point! But from the host to the busser, everyone makes you feel welcomed & taken care of. We always enjoy our visit!

    Tried Federal American Grill for the first time for brunch. Service, decor, coffee and ambience were outstanding. The food was average. I think I want to try this restaurant for lunch or dinner and believe the food will be better.

    Food was good, service not so much. Not really bad, just didn’t have a great waiter I think. Portion was small for the price.

    Hi Bryan, thank you for your honest review. We’re pleased to know you enjoyed the food, but we’re disappointed to hear that the service wasn’t as attentive as it should have been.

We also appreciate your input on the portion sizes and will certainly take it into consideration.
