Excellent restaurant for special occasions. Expensive, but the quality of dishes and the service make it worth it. The Wellfleet oysters were outstanding, and we loved their caesar salad. And the steak frites and filet mignon were all cooked perfectly. Service by Stacey was friendly and never rushed.

We were seated with two couples with two very young children. They were jumping in the seats. . Ran up and down the whole restaurant. We told the waitress it was noisy she nodded. I went to the manager who asked do you want to move. We were half way through dinner. Very disappointed with the ambiance and non response from the waitress. She told me on the way out you should have spoken up. Not acceptable

Everything was top notch here. The only small detail I would tweak is the temperature of the dining room. It was cold. I saw others keeping their coats on. Not sure why they want it that cool.

I have been to the Federal several times. I am always completely happy with the service, drink and food. They make great bar drinks, esp. gin martinis. We all loved our hors d'oevres. I had a great salad, as per usual. I had Beef Wellington, one of their specialties (and hard to find elsewhere), as well as one of my guests. Great wine list! Wonderful desserts. It's just a great place, very reliably so!
