   Went a couple of days before Christmas 2024, 8pm. Place had a handful of other tables filled, so noise was present but not bad. Food choices are varied enough for discerning palettes. But the web menu for this place is what impressed me-descriptions and pictures for most if not all items. Our server was polite, made suggestions, and knew enough about menu to answer questions about it. We are planning a return to this restaurant.

   Would prefer the lights to be dimmed a bit. Very bright inside.

   After we were seated we waited ten minutes and had to ask someone who our waiter was. Even after we finally got a waiter we had to ask every time we needed a refill. He did not take the initiative to do anything without being asked. The food was okay but nothing special. Overall I will not be going back.

   Thank you for your feedback, Weston. We sincerely apologize for the service issues you experienced during your visit. This is certainly not the standard we strive for, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for attention. We also appreciate your honesty about the food and will review the menu offerings to ensure they meet the high expectations our guests have come to expect. Please let us know the best way to contact you directly — and we will have a GM reach out to make it up to you.

   We held our office Christmas party here for the 4th consecutive year and we will keep coming back for years to come. Service was outstanding. Everyone went above and beyond to make our experience top notch. The food was great. The appetizers were scrumptious!! We absolutely love this place. Thank you!!!

   We had heard great things about the Federal American grill and walked away disappointed. The meal was to celebrate our sons birthday which they forgot and after having a disappointing meal we decided just to get the check and go home without reminding them on the celebration. The salmon was farm raised - which I thought a restaurant of this level would have had wild or "sustainability farm raised". Towards the end of our meal a couple of staff were making noise beside our table assembling all of the silverware - they could have chose a place further away so that the noise wouldn't have been an issue.

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner. They had a pre-fix menu that had a choice for a traditional Thanksgiving plate. It included everything that we would have had at home in the past. Food was good and served promptly. The wait staff was friendly and professional. They are known for their excellent old fashioned cocktails so we had one before dinner and it was delicious. We’ll be back.
