Visited for the first time with a group of coworkers. Amazing variety of appetizers and the food was delicious. Beautifully decorated restaurant and bar area. Friendly staff and great service. I went back the next day and had the grilled salmon for lunch, it was delicious with the mushroom risotto and broccoli. I look forward to visiting often for lunch!

First time here, my server was Jorge.
My wife and I ordered the cheeseburger egg rolls, and also the chicken sliders, for our main course we ordered the blackened chicken alfredo, and also the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. We also ordered a couple of drinks. The service was good, and the atmosphere was nice. The food was do you think, just a little bland. Had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper

Recommended by a friend during a business trip and the restaurant was marketed as business casual. I thought it may provide timely and high-quality service, but it turned out a little bit disappointing.
Very busy at lunch time. Arrived at 12:00pm, told me to wait until 12:30pm, eventually got a table at 12:39pm, ordered food at 12:45pm, food on the table at 1:10pm, check at 1:28pm.
The problem to me was I have limited time scheduled for lunch and I’d appreciate the service were at a timely manner, or at least delivered within the promised time frame.
I spent 1.5 hours at the restaurant but had to rush the meal in 18 minutes to get back work on time. This is not what I expected.
As for the food, the biscuit was good! Tasty burger with juicy paddy! Dried fries though. The waiter was nice once sat down, but it didn’t deserve such a long waiting time in my opinion.
If you have to dine in here, I’d suggest you make a reservation to get a table, and plan longer time for ordering and preparing the food. The restaurant environment looked sleek, but was very chaotic and noisy at busy time. You even couldn’t hear the waiter sometimes.

We ate dinner in the private room for groups. Very nice atmosphere a little tight in the private room but it as quite and intimate. The drinks were ok for $7 ranch water, we order from the happy hour menu. I did not like the seasoning on the rim it tasted like fish batter. The food was great. I had the shrimp and grits, full flavor good portion. Everyone in our party was happy with the food.

Came here to celebrate my 90 day sobriety and the appetizers stole the show for us.
They start you off with yummy bread and these jelly and butter that were sure were made in house, so good. Made you want more but you know you’ll get full so gotta chill.
We had miscommunication on appetizers so we got one free which was nice (the free one was the calamari) Both were amazing and full of different flavors – the other app was the bang bang shrimp which was my favorite.
I wasn’t a fan of my half chicken federal because it was too spicy for my pathetic pallet, the waiter had said it was a little spicy but of coarse my disappointing tongue said otherwise. Overall the combination of the pico, sauce and chicken with whatever the bottom portion was excellent. (The only other thing was I had said I wanted pasta but I guess they only have chicken Alfredo as an option which is basic so I said nah)
My boyfriend’s surf and turf was kind of mid wouldn’t recommend or get again. For the price you’d think you’d get more shrimp or a bigger steak but no – it was disappointing to say the least because the sides were bland as well and took up most of the plate.
Experience was good with the staff and music playing. But would deff change up our main course plate next time – if there is a next time. Felt like a one and done type vibe.

The staff here made our experience really special. April was a tentative waitress and took great care of our large party. The manager was also very sweet to our birthday guest. Food was good, desserts were my favorite!

Bang bang shrimp app was amazing , a
Nice portion of shrimp and the sauce tasted perfectly balanced. Short rib half dinner was mediocre, wouldn’t order again . Flavor lacked but was tender. The truffle fries weren’t hot and neither was the loaded baked potato . The Steak was amazing and definitely the shining star ! Would order again. The service was exceptional! Top tier service

Amazing place- food, drinks, service everything is great! Pretty cool happy hour that they call social hour. My boyfriend and I got an appetizer and then split a steak & sides, they actually split it for us and put it on separate plates which was not necessary but made things easier! Can’t go there without getting bread pudding for dessert- best I’ve had!

Went to Federal American Grill last night for a date night, and it was such a lovely experience. The service was excellent — we were seated at a cozy table for two, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The place has a comfortable vibe, with lots of TVs, a lively bar, and private event areas.
The menu is broad and diverse. We had the beef carpaccio, which was delicious, and the oysters — I loved that you could order just one or two instead of being required to get six or twelve like in most places. The Thai shrimp were also amazing, with a perfect spicy kick.
To top it all off, our server surprised us with a complimentary bourbon bread pudding that was spectacular. It had this subtle coffee-like flavor, which she explained comes from the mix of bourbon and caramel. Overall, it was a unique and memorable dining experience.
