    The food here is very good…pub food but great quality…my only complaint was the table we had was very small in a corner in the back of the restaurant…our waitress and all the other staff here were very friendly and attentive.

    Great food and service as always. The music and games were on which was great but when you have younger kids with you for brunch I think it is VERY uncalled for to have people yelling and screaming the songs especially when they see younger sings and they are singing profanities. Just would not come again around 1130 for brunch

    We had a reservation for a party of 4 at 5:45. The written policy on Open Table said that we had the table for 2 hours. At 7:25 the waitress was told to inform us that we had to leave because the next party was waiting. She was very uncomfortable doing this, but she was following instructions from a boss that clearly didn't have the guts to do it themselves. We were spending time with friends that had come in from out of town. We didn't want to finish the evening making a scene or arguing with the manager about getting booted with twenty minutes left of our allotted time. I've chosen instead to write this review (which I rarely do). I will not be going back nor will I recommend the Federal Taphouse to anyone.

    The hostess was very welcoming. Our server seemed to be the bartender and it was busy at the bar. Me and my friend were visiting from NYC and did the bottomless. We left after an hour because we figured it was going to take awhile to get another round of mimosas. I think the bartender shouldn’t have to waiter tables, or at least provide help from the staff to refill glasses.

    Best nachos ever. The blueberry and cranberry cocktails were delish, if a little on the small side. But the mai tai and spicey martini were 10/10. Amazing burger. Very generous burrito bowl. We will definitely be back.

    Service was absolutely terrible, our waitress never offered another drink and spent most of the time sitting near the kitchen talking to coworkers. Different waitress brought out our food, which was warm at best. We both ordered steak tips and fries, fries were definitely sitting in a warmer the whole night and the steak was not seasoned. Side salad was good though. Our first time here and would not bother coming back, better off at any other restaurant on the hill.

    The food wasn’t very good. Probably wouldn’t want to order wine at a place like this as it tasted as if it had been open a while. The tortillas for the fish tacos tasted burnt and they were pretty bland. My friend enjoyed her truffle mushroom Mac and cheese but was sick in the middle of the night so we aren’t sure if it was something she ate or if it was just a coincidence. The buffalo chicken dip was decent. The chips for the dip were delicious! The music was great- 2000s-2010 hip hop. I’d go back for a more wisely chosen drink and the music!

    The place was packed. I they put us in a corner window in the sun. For the first 35 to 40 min it was almost unbearable. They had nothing to block the very bright sun coming in and we ask. No curtain or anything and they didn't try to move us either. We went for the bottomless mimosas but I am allergic to orange juice and wanted to have it with cranberry and was told no. Didn't understand why it couldn't be done. It's prosecco and juice. Then 3 of my party had the steak and eggs with potatoes. All of the steak was cold for all 3 of them and one the entire plate the food was not hot. A manager did come over and apologize for the beef being Cole and offered to bring new ones but by the time it came back they had eaten the other food or it would have been cold as well. Also the new beef didn't have the same flavor. We thought for sure they would have offered a discount or a free dessert or something. But no nothing. Service was friendly but slow and forgetful. Had to keep asking for things. We felt like they kept forgetting us up in the sun corner. The BYO burger saw very tasty although not cooked to temp that I asked. I asked for med rare and was send med well. I hate my meat brown all the way through. But I had taken pills and need food to not get sick. It was ok. Just not what I wanted. Everything was already slow and taking a long time to come out my food was at least hot and I didn't want to wait to send it back We also had the garlic parmesan wings and the barbecue/buffalo wings both of those were very tasty my guess who had the mimosas and the bloody Marys all said that they were good. To me as a person in the hospitality business and a chef and a general manager of restaurants I just think the manager could have done a lot more to make sure we didn't leave with a bad taste in our mouth about this place. For us it was just so-so can't say we would revisit for brunch again.
