Federal American Grill

Did a 40th birthday here last Sunday. They moved us to a private room at no extra cost. Wonderful open space with plenty of room. Allowed us to bring in decorations, balloons,etc. Management and staff were very welcoming and attentive. One person ordered the fries green tomatoes with crab meat as an appetizer for the table and they were stupendous! Orders for brunch were varied but everyone was very pleased. We were not rushed - top quality all around. Thanks for a great birthday celebration!

One of my favorite spots now! Thanks HRW! My blackened ahi tuna was cooked to perfection of medium as requested! The best flavor and taste combo with the couscous. Old Fashions are my favorite and mine were made fantastic.

Delicious and eclectic. Excellent wait staff. Visited for Houston Restaurant Weeks Lunch. Had a wonderful lunch.

Went on Mothers Day and it was great! Parking is either across the street or you can do complimentary valet. The menu for Mothers Day was very good. Food excellent and the service was on point. There’s indoor or outdoor dining plus a nice bar. We will be back!

Service was very slow at first but then it picked up. It took 2 hours for a party of 2 to have a 2 course hrw lunch. I wouldn't call the service fine dining but the food was excellent and so were the old fashions!

Best Chicken Fried Steak ever. Wait staff was great, food was great. Management was active and supervising to assure best experience for the diners. Elegant atmosphere, large cocktail bar, restaurant was clean and organized. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Stopped in for a celebratory drink and appetizers after a small wedding. The staff took excellent care of us while we enjoyed the happy hour drinks and appetizers. Went out of their way to wish the bride and groom their best wishes and make the gathering special.

I’ve been to the Federal Grill many times. My wife and I brought another couple which was their first time there to get a nice meal and have a good conversation. The atmosphere and the service was good as expected, however our meal which was the 8 Ounce center cut filet mignon meal was terrible. The steak was thin, flat and looked like something one would get at a buffet type restaurant. Since we were with friends, we haven’t seen for many years and it was their first time there I didn’t want to embarrass the establishment and so we left, but we’re very unsatisfied. We didn’t take pictures of our dish either.

Valet parking is best option. We had reservations and were seated right away. The service from the hostess to wait staff was very pleasant; waitresses was super attentive and helpful with making selections. My family and I visited here for Father's Day (Saturday) and we all enjoyed our entrees, appetizers and desserts. The short rib was very tender and was nicely paired with spinach and risotto. The chicken fried streak was delicious and the meatloaf was savory. This was a great experience at a nice local restaurant. We will be back!!

Zero Quality Control !!!! This wasn't the first sloppy order from here, but it was my last !! No sauce on the Classic Philly Cheesesteak Most of the fries were 1" or less in length and in different stages of doneness... like scraps, some cooked multiple times. The Iceberg Wedge Salad had only 5 small pieces of pork belly. Two so crisp they were like leather and one piece almost raw. Stay

Highly recommend, tasty food, good service, and business casual vibe. Place also looks like it could be fun outside of work and the food does taste good. Carrot cake is massive

Came in on a Friday night and before we headed over to discovery green for a girls night. We made a reservation and when we arrived it was a pretty quiet night and not too busy. The restaurant itself was dimly lit, which made it feel nice and cozy, loved this for a girls night, but could be great for a date night. Rayna was our server and she was super sweet and very attentive throughout the evening. When I asked for a few recommendations on he handheld options, she was great with helping me decide. I knew that having seen truffle parm's fries on the menu, that it was a must have for anything I ordered. I opted for the Philly cheesesteak and subbed the parm fries. When the meal came the fries were cold, and Rayna was super quick to get some fresh hot ones out. I must say, I was still disappointed in the fries, as I didn't feel they were anything like truffle fries. There was parm on top but couldn't much taste the truffle. I wouldn't go back for those specifically. They Philly itself was good, and well seasoned and cheesy like I like it! I also ordered the espresso martini. I did learn something going forward for when I order these. They're pre-batched, meaning they're premade ahead of time. This could be a good thing or bad, but I love a freshly shaken martini. This one was a bit strong on the espresso taste, so it tooo me a little longer to drink, but definitely had the right amount of vodka! With it being all of our first time here, Rayna brought us out a dessert, the bourbon bread pudding, which was quite delicious!! All in all great night, would want to go back to try some other entrees.

We celebrated a birthday dinner here with friends and had a great time. Decorated with lots of dark wood, the place has a nice vibe. The menu has a good variety of food and drinks, something for everyone. I had the Meatloaf which was delicious, especially the gravy. The Truffle Mac & Cheese was a favorite. The Carrot Cake was amazing. They brought over a birthday dessert. If I lived in the area this would be a regular spot for me.

Old school vibe with the decor could use some refreshing Upscale casual dress Good service there was a wait for our food nothing out of the ordinary. 4/5 Food: Wedge salad- was wedging 5/5 Steak was very tender 4/5 Service up to par and food as expected for Federal Grill.

I love it here! Great music and EXCELLENT service. They have indoor/outdoor options. I love the private room option too. I've come for brunch, lunch, dinner, and hosted a business event here. I have yet to be disappointed. The food quality is fresh and tasty and they have some pretty cool drink options too. Can't complain about the funny bathroom signs either. Although the parking lot is really small, they do have a complimentary valet parking. Recommended dishes: *bang bang shrimp *meat loaf *kung pao calamari *meatballs *crab cake *diver scallops *Mac and cheese *mashed potatoes *broccolini *bourbon honey basil Rickey *bourbon peach smash

Have you ever been to a restaurant who doesn't skip a beat? Well, Federal American Grill is the place. You're greeted at the door either by the bartender or host. Once seated the wait staff, who was professional and educated about the restaurant and menu, served us some hot biscuits with jalapeño jam and whipped butter. They went so quick we didn't even get a picture. We order appetizers: sticky ribs, chicken wings, braised short rib sliders(the best) and crab Crockett. Yes we're greedy!!! lol I ordered the Janice's Meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes, crispy onion strings and bordelaise sauce.. you talking something good. Nope, I didn't eat it all full from appetizers. It's a family friendly restaurant. In the evening they dim the lights which makes the ambiance more romantic. It would be a great date night, family affair, weekend brunch and they even have a private room for parties.

The food was great but I will be honest my scallops dish was a tad bit salty. I really don't eat much salt so it could just be me. The butter cake was delicious and I can rave all day on my strawberry lemon drop it was so good. The waiters and service were great I do recommend to try if you're in the area.

Gonna give it a 3 because our server Danielo (hope i spelled that right!) was great and on his game. The ambiance is casual to nice, low lights, however it's not really a romantic place imho. I got the petite felit mignon with sautéed spinach and mac-n-cheese. My company had the rib-eye. All was going well until my filet arrived. You know how people pound a chicken with a meat mallot to flatten it? Well, they did this to the filet (after cutting it half width wise) which was a surprise and a disappointment--never in my life have I seen a filet this thin and long. Not to mention it was not cooked as I had requested. I should have returned it right away, but I was trying to be on my best behavior. Brussel sprouts were dry af and undercooked too....just. no. I will not be returning. Pros--stellar service, fantastic buttery biscuits that come with an amazing jalapeño jelly. Good mac and sautéed spinach, cool decor, casual, good service, and valet (bc parking sux/residential).

Within the past 2 years I've seen maybe half a dozen of these new restaurants pop up around the Houston area. The look is vintage 60's Luxury American. Wood paneled walls, lots of pictures of people having fun and drinking. Good to finally check one out. Service was a bit odd, walked in as they opened for lunch on a Tuesday and they seemed a bit unready. We were sat by the busboy I think, kinda funny. Our server was nice, but just seemed a little green. Did nothing wrong, just didn't have the rhythm down quite yet. He suggested 2 apps that were really not that good. The Smoked Pork Belly which comes out with a little show. They need to be crispy, I want more char on the fatty cuts of pork. Also went with the Meatballs, not a great choice, flavor was interesting enough, but the texture had them falling apart once you stuck them with a fork. We didn't finish them. I really enjoyed my Chicken Federale, excellently prepared and nice bright flavors. The burger my buddy got was also looking real nice, he's not a big guy and he deleted the whole thing. Overall I think the main courses and drinks seem to anchor the menu here, as well as good location.

My favorite! Lunch, dinner, or drinks they hit it out of the ballpark! I go to Shepard a lot because I love having 'lunch with Logan'! She's incredible! Although, the Katy and the Woodlands store are also fantastic! I've yet to go downtown or Katy, but I hear that they are perfect for business lunch!!! I'm going to try soon! Everything they do is 1st class service and the atmosphere is pure!!! I can't say enough good things! I love it when my people come from all over the world so I can show them Houston hospitality!!! That's Federal!

Yessss! Best waiter ever! Food was excellent! Cocktails were amazing! Smoked old fashioned was an experience! Great location for a date night or business dinner. Even had some prom goers while we visited.

An easy choice for any night! The Rice Military location always has such a welcoming staff, the outdoor area is a vibe with the lights and the restaurant inside has a great restaurant-bar vibe with its low lighting. As far as appetizers, I highly recommend starting with the Fried Cheeseburger Roll. The mixture of the spicy ranch, sweet and spicy sauce is surprisingly something we've decided to come back for. Sounds simple but your mouth will have a party. The Sticky Ribs were good but not our favorite. It does come off more on the Asian inspiration side but since we are big carnivores and grill often, it wasn't that impressive for us. Worth a try, absolutely! The Chicken Fried Steak was a great choice! It's a good serving but not the biggest we've ever had in Texas. Beyond that, the pepper country gravy paired well with the breading. Tastes like home and I just simply wished there was more of it on my plate. I'm a salty person, so I could have added a bit on the plate but don't let that deter you from giving it a shot. If calories didn't count, I'd put this place as a once a week go-to in the local area!

Every time I come to this location I have the best time, best service and best food!! My favorite drink is the Flaming Oldie and ask for table side service to see how it's made. I'll try to attach a video of it

We enjoyed our visit on Saturday! Plenty of parking in the back and the staff were all so welcoming and wonderful. We loved the vibe as well. We tried the ribs, spinach dip, and a burger. The food was fine, not amazing but not bad. Our favorite dish was probably the spinach dip.

Sad I do not have the picture to remunerate my great experience. Came in for a quick cocktail and to run over some business details in my planner, and I ordered the Sinatra. The Sinatra, for me is a good blend of the Moscow Mule and the Old Fashioned, kind of like a Bourbon Mule if you will. Crisp, refreshing yet with just enough kick to cool down your anxious jitters. Continues to be a good favorite of mine, Paul the bartender was extremely attentive, as well as the hostess. Federal American Grill continues to be one of my favorite spots for quick, formidable, and strong cocktails. I always get my best work/business meetings done here! The attention to the clientele, from the valet to the bartending staff continues to remind me why it's one of my top picks!!

Great experience here after flying in rather late to Houston. Bartender was awesome, food was solidly solid. Enjoyed the locals and vibe.

The staff was amazing! We were there for my birthday and had about a dozen people but the staff made it happen! The food, atmosphere and drinks were fantastic! Shout out to Peter, Justin, Paul, Eric and the beautiful hostess for making my 55th birthday a 5 star experience!

We felt that the service and food was just okay. First of all, it took forever for anything come out. By the time they brought me my wine, I didn't feel the desire to order an appetizer. When our burger and chicken n waffle order finally arrived, it was mediocre. The burger meat could have been a tad more thicker. If you're a decent size man, you will definitely be starving after that burger. My husband's chicken and waffle was terrible - like the waffle was hard and potatoes were cold. It was a very long wait only to be disappointed by the quality of the food.

If I could give a 0 stars I would. Stunningly bad meal and experience. The food and service were both terrible and it was so expensive. Took too long to get initial drink order. took too long to get the drinks. took too long to take our order. Appetizers came out but then it took too long for the entrées to arrive and they were all cold. The food was low quality and poorly prepared. One in our party did not get what he ordered. They failed to bring the desserts that came with the prix fix. They did finally bring them to go after they got them out of the freezer and heated them up in the microwave. I could go on. But that is enough. Terrible. It was like your worst experience at Applebee's, but expensive.

Food was great! The restaurant menu has s lot of choices. We had the salmon which was moist and no fish taste. Meatloaf had a very nice sauce. Short ribs were very good too. My margarita had so much alcohol I had to ask for less. Never had to do that before! Dessert was nice sized so we didn't feel like we overdid it later. It was my bday and I don't know why they asked when reserving a table because it was not noted at dinner. The manager was very attentive though.

I'm the kind of person who ultimately values the food above service and ambiance, but the service aspect was such a turnoff that I doubt we'll return (and we live a solid 3 min walk away). For the prices they charge, you should get an elevated experience. I do have to say, the food was fairly solid. The oysters were fantastic, our Cajun sandwich was surprisingly good, and the French dip was good not great- the meat was tender but it was well done and the texture of the French dip bread was odd and springy. It would have been substantially better with a crusty loaf. Our friends got the Truffle Stuffed Chicken, which I tried and really enjoyed, and the Asian tuna steak salad, which he really liked but I wasn't impressed with. The texture didn't seem fresh to me and the bright hue leads me to believe it's been gassed with carbon monoxide (a common but meh practice that alters the fish). Even if I'm wrong about that, the texture was too soft and offputting. As for the service. When getting seated, we asked for one of the several booths that were open but was told they're all reserved. We then watched them all stay empty for 20-30 minutes, so we couldn't help but feel snubbed. We weren't overly concerned about it, but it was in the back of our brain. We left an hour and a half to eat to get to our show on time. It took quite a long time before we were even able to order (we knew within 5 minutes what we wanted). When over an hour had gone by and we still hadn't received our food yet, we were really concerned about missing the start of our show (spoiler alert, we did). We politely asked our server (who was really nice) about the eta, and a manager came by, which we didn't ask for but appreciated. He explained how behind they were and asked us if he could get us a drink. We wouldn't have otherwise gotten another since we were on a hurry, but what a nice gesture, right? We ate quickly and since we were leaving 7 minutes before our show actually started, I payed our bill for the four of us quickly and we all rushed out. When we looked at the bill to split the next day, we noticed that they charged us (an exorbitant amount btw) for the drinks they offered! Lame.

We just had our 20th anniversary dinner with family here and everything was fantastic. The private room was wonderful and the perfect size. Our waiter Cody was beyond fantastic. He went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable with everything. Would recommend this place 100% for a private event or dinner.

I ate lunch here for my birthday and i did not regret it! Amazing service from the bartender. He made my tea as sweet as i like it with simple syrup! The inside of the restaurant is cozy , very nice. Complimentary Biscuits jam and butter was good! Their tortilla soup was some of the best i've had. Man oh man , that wagyu meatloaf was delicious! Amazing food, reasonably priced. I will definitely be returning here in the future with some friends/family and have them try the meatloaf. I'll be ordering something else ;) Thank you Federal American Grill! -Santangelo Balli Gonzales

I'm leaving this review because my first dining experience was GREEEEAT!! I met up for our Best Friend Catch Up dinner last night. I wasn't sure about this location, but I'm so glad we chose it. I arrived and the valet driver wasn't readily available so I just kind of pulled in and sat there for a few minutes...I figured he was probably just one person parking all the cars since the restaurant didn't seem to be very busy. The night was beautiful and breezy. In fact, I was shocked not to see anyone sitting outside on their beautiful patio... It's a very serene and classy set up. Someone from inside opened the door for me as I walked up and directed me to the host stand where I was quickly seated in the cocktail area. I loved it over there! All the tables have white tablecloths and it's just a very pleasant and mature atmosphere. Not too dark but lit beautifully with soft white string lights added for calming ambiance. Our server suggested the meatballs as an appetizer and they did not disappoint. This appetizer could literally be a meal. It's probably six meatballs on a hot Skillet plate with mashed potatoes and fried onion straws on top. The swedish meatball gravy that it comes with was not too thick and was deliciously seasoned to perfection... A yummy sharable. The bar is close by so we had to have a couple of adult beverages to toast our best friend's dinner. I had prosecco and he had a glass of wine. After that filling appetizer we ordered our entrees. He had the scallops and I had the braised short rib (half order).... I didn't think we could add anything else, but our server insisted on allowing us to taste their signature dessert, bread pudding. He gave us a small sampler serving and I have to say it was perfect & Delicious...Whoever made it really put their heart into it! See you soon Federal Grill!

The manager, Justin, as well as the wait staff treated me so well on my recent visit. I called in advance & Justin was able to make sure I could watch my godson play in his 1st MLB game. Had a table reserved for my group. We had the most amazing meals too. The Ahi Tuna was seared perfectly and I loved the polenta. Great flavor!! My friend said her Salmon entree was cooked perfectly. As well as my other friend had the cheeseburger bowl. Hats off to the Federal Grill for taking such great care of my table. I'll definitely be returning soon.

Top notch drinks, service, and management. Exactly what you'd expect, the food is spot on cooked to specification. Drinks are hearty and well crafted. The ambiance allows you focus on your table, while the mirrored walls don't close anyone in from good people watching. The dining area is much nicer than the bar or large outside seating; where cigar smoking is not only permitted but encouraged. I recommend the flaming old fashion for a showy & tasty treat.

Stop by for a Saturday Brunch for a Birthday! Everything was great for the occasion. I had the meatball and mash potato appetizer with a side of seasoned veggies. Nice portion size for an appetizer and really great flavor. It seemed as though we had the entire restaurant to ourselves, so that was an added bonus. Eric our waiter was so attentive and helpful with menu and drink selections. Thank you Eric for making our experience a joy!!! And the owner even stepped in and helped out as well. This wasn't my first time here but it surely felt that way. Thanks

Amazing as always! Food is consistent and always great. Service is attentive and quick, I would ask for Krystal. Recommend the old fashion and if you come in the fall ask for AJ to make the Ape Escape made with Monkey Shoulder.

It's Saturday night, I just got back into town and I'm feeling lazy but craving a steak. Federal American Grill and Uber Eats for the win! I ordered the filet mignon, medium rare. It comes with a side of mac n cheese and sautéed spinach. The steak was chef's kiss! And while I didn't not ate a bite of the Mac and let the hubs eat the rest, it was so good! The spinach was tasty, too. Hubby got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and he enjoyed it. Looking forward to eating there in person, maybe on a day that I'm not feeling lazy!

The chicken fried chicken dish was delicious, and I love that they offer half sized portions now! Service was great, and it wasn't too loud in the restaurant during the busy dinner hour. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food and service! Would recommend to my friends and family. Great valet service

We've dined here before and have always had a good experience. It's been about 7 months since our last visit and a lot has changed. The valet was no where to be found, we waited for 10 minutes at the valet stand and finally left and found street parking. Portions were minuscule compared to cost. Service was subpar at best. I asked for gluten free options and was never given any until I asked again. The half portions on the entrees I'd say are more like quarter size at best. The salmon bowl was laughable, I asked for double veggies instead of rice and the amount of veggies was shocking, it didn't even seem like enough for one full serving. The entire evening just didn't go as we would've liked which is unfortunate as we were celebrating a special occasion.

My first time trying this place today and it was great . I made reservations a few minutes before arriving in case it was busy. The restaurant was not busy at all so we were seated right away. Our food came out fresh and hot . My favorite was the fried chicken breast. It was seasoned perfectly! The mimosas were good as well. Great guest service. If you are looking for a place to brunch without the wait , this is the place .

First time at Federal American Grill. I was looking for a place to have my Birthday Brunch and this place kept coming up, I also had a friend recommend it. I decided to make the reservation. The service was great, the food was good, and the ambience was nice. We ordered pineapple mimosa carafes and they were not stingy with the champagne. (good vibes!) They bring out complimentary biscuits with this orange jelly and butter and they are perfect. Warm, fresh, and very tasty. (Or were we just hungry? Lol! Or do I just love bread? Yes to both questions) The bread was divine though, seriously. I ordered from the HRW menu and started with the iceberg wedge w/no bacon for the appetizer and the Thai shrimp & grits as my entree. A very unique taste. I would recommend trying it if you're open to new dishes. Yes, as the birthday woman I received a free dessert! A very, very thick and rich chocolate brownie topped with ice cream. Yummy! Pics below :) *Cool quotes and a nice full body mirror in the women's restroom, you're welcome*

We visited the Katy location in December. Our servers reached over others at our table to serve food. They were not aware of who still was eating. There was no consideration if we were finished eating. Will not be back. It's sad because we thought we found a place with good food food and good service. No such luck. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I'll give this restaurant 5 stars just for the service. Our server was attentive, helpful, and friendly but not overbearing. I had the Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad and my son had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. Both were delicious. The chicken was moist and tender. The crust on mine was crisp. The bread they bring to your table is yummy. It comes with both butter and a pepper jelly. I am looking forward to returning.

Note this is 3.5. Star review. I came here to eat for my birthday after find the spot off of Yelp. I had a party of 5 in total including one kid. The ambiance is cool and accomodating and there's a choice of valet parking or self parking. We were greeted immediately and and seated. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer which was very good. I highly recommend this appetizer. Once my gueist arrived a few minutes later due to traffic we alm ordered food and drinks. I got the half rack of ribs. These were average in my opinion and I'm a rib aficionado. They could have been more flavorful and tender. My lady got the meatloaf which she said was also average. For the drinks I tried the Fizzy Lifting Drink and my lady got the Uno Mas. The drinks were decent nothing memorable. Service was good until the end when the waitress charges for an item that was exchanged after we didn't like her recommendation. I won't be back here, but only because of the food, there's too many great restaurants in Houston and at this price point I expect above average flavor and service.

Delicious Thai shrimp and grits, best crab cake ever, wonderful server. Really enjoyed our dinner. Try the peach cocktail.

Although brunch is their best meal, I still enjoyed the dinner I had. I love a good chicken fried steak, and their dish was stellar. The bang bang shrimp was fine, but it lacked the intense flavor I was expecting. I'd also ordered sweet tea, and half the time they filled my glass it was unsweetened which was very annoying.

We went for a friends birthday so we didn't spare and expense. I ordered: spinach artichoke dip - so tasty. Thai Shrimp and Grits were so unique. I really enjoyed them. If you don't care for a sweet kick it isn't for you. Mac and cheese - were not every cheesy. At the end our waiter asked how we would Iike to split the bill and we asked to divide it by three. Instead he charged on our cards for the full amount, then attempted to correct it. It was every difficult to hear him. He basically whispered to us the entire two hours we were there. The ambiance was lovely. I like the lighting and the seating.

Greeted and seated by a friendly gentleman named Kenny. Nice ambience. It was definitely "fancier" than I thought it'd be. Kenny came back and offered to take drink orders because our waitress was busy with a 12 top. (Mind you it was them and us in the restaurant an hour and half before closing.) Extensive menu!!! Sooo much to choose from. Kenny asked what we felt like eating protein wise and said he'd give recommendations that way. I was between meatloaf and Thai shrimp and grits. He recommended both. Ha! Asked for a couple more minutes for everyone to decide. About ten minutes later, our waitress made her way over. Ordered an appetizer of kung pow calamari. Two of the people at our table ordered beer. The calamari came out & was swimming in kung pao sauce and pepperoncini, which unfortunately made the calamari soggy. Blah! One of the people at our table had received their beer. The other had not. He reminded the waitress he was also waiting for his. She seemed confused and, it seemed as if she forgot to put it in. She came back about ten minutes later and told him they didn't have the beer he ordered. 15/20 min after he ordered it y'all! Wth!? For the main course, I ordered the Thai shrimp & grits. About 40 min later, we were still waiting for our food. At this point, it was ten minutes until 10pm. The table already agreed if the food wasn't out by ten, we were calling it a day here. It came out two minutes later. Shrimp and grits were good, but nothing over the top to rave about. I wish it would've had more spice, but it honestly just tasted like the kung pao sauce again. Everyone else said their food was good, but not for the amount of time it took here. Waited another 10 minutes for our checks. Beers had to be charged separately because our business cards. Waitress charged the cards wrong. More waiting. The manager on duty didn't ever help this poor struggling waitress that clearly needed help since we got there. I finally had to ask him if he could help her figure it out. By this time it was 10:40 pm y'all!!! I cannot believe the amount of time it took for service here. Bananas!!! Food alone I'd give 3 stars. One star only because of service & the amount of time wasted here. Unfortunately, it's a no go for me when I'm visiting the H next time!

Overall the food was good. Service was great minus one small hiccup BUT I was satisfied and appreciated them accommodating our large party.

Nice restaurant but seems a bit overpriced for the food quality. I had the cheeseburger egg rolls which were pretty good (and rather unique). Priced pretty high for an appetizer though. For my main course, I had the Thai shrimp and grits. They were okay. The shrimp was a bit overcooked. It did not feel like it lived up to the $25+ price tag. The best part of the meal? Our server, George. He was so energetic, engaging, funny, and friendly. It's rare to have such an awesome server. PARKING: Valet. The lot was a bit backed up / messy. We ended up parking on a side street instead. It seemed much calmer when we left. Play it by ear.

Made a reservation for my family and I while they were in town. I definitely recommend making a reservation, this place was very packed for Sunday brunch! I was happy they were able to hold the table although my family was very late. I was happy to sit at the bar and enjoy the live music and a drink while I waited for them. Service was very quick and efficient. We were all drinking mimosas and ordered a few carafes. They never let us see an empty mimosa or water glass. To start we ordered a dozen oysters that tasted very good and fresh. My sister and I split the chicken and waffles since we thought we wouldn't finish one each. So glad we did this because the plate is huge! Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their plates! Although service and food were good, they don't seem to be taking any covid precautions at all. Only about 2-3 members of the staff were wearing masks and social distancing is not enforced at all. It seems like that's becoming the norm around here again but it was definitely a shock for my family from out of state.

Omg I cannot even begin to express how much I loved this place! A couple weeks ago a friend and I wanted to have a lunch date and decided we'd hop in here just for a cocktail or two. However, when we showed up we decided to get food as well. Myself being vegan already knew that I'd have a hard time eating at just any random place but still I asked the server for recommendations on the menu. She was gracious and helped me try to create a vegan meal a la carte as there weren't any strict vegan options available. I decided to get some cooked Vegetables and French fries. At this point the OWNER of the restaurant (not the manager, THE OWNER) walks up and offered his apology for not having anything strictly vegan on the menu. I told him it was ok and that I was enjoying the atmosphere and the cocktails. After about no more than 15 minutes my meal came out. A second later I saw the OWNER walk up to me with another plate with a vegan burger, fries, and veggies that he drove down the street to buy for me. WTF!! my mind was blown. That kind of customer service is unheard of. My friend and I were speechless! The entire staff kept checking up on us the whole time we were there. It was a wonderful lunch date thanks to the amazing staff and owner. I definitely will be going back not just for the delicious food but definitely the hospitality that was shown that day. Thank you all so much for an amazing afternoon.

Was less than impressed. Sat on the patio and didn't get waited on until my husband had to grab the first person he say to make sure we had a waiter. After 20 minutes the Manager took our order and server had every excuse in the book as to why he had not come to check on us. Got our appetizers and drinks then 45 minutes later got our 1 SHARED entree. Got the check and boxes upon arrival of our food so we could just leave. Food was subpar for the cost. Recommend Federal grill on i10 over shepherd location!

Alex was a phenomenal server! The truffle stuffed chicken breast and alllll the cocktails are crafty and top notch! The fine dining and service with a smile (while hubs was even able to watch the game) is why we'll be back! Cheers!
