The Federal in Midtown, Atlanta, Closes Permanently After Four Years on Crescent Avenue - Eater Atlanta
"The Federal, owned by chefs Shaun Doty and Lance Gummere, closes after four years on Crescent Avenue in Midtown, a representative confirms to Eater Atlanta. The restaurant served a mix of American steakhouse staples and European bistro fare." - Beth McKibben
So delicious! The burger is a 5-star staple. If the Brussels sprouts are on the menu, order them! And tonight we had a divine French-inspired fish dish, lightly fried and served with a white wine sauce with tomatoes and capers. Great wine list including a super Tuscan and a couple of Orin Swift selections available by the glass. Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Secret gem in Atlanta! This place is exceptional. The food is amazing, very seasonal and comfort classics dishes, wine and whiskey list is extensive yet approachable, service spot on and the perfect place for a date, dinner with friends or a client/ business dinner.
Brunch is awesome too!

We had a pleasant time and the staff was all really great. However, none of our food was remarkable. My cocktail was not really to my liking, which comes down to preference but still weighs on my opinion here. We had a flatbread that was not really a doughy bread so much as a cracker. Our sides and honestly I've made better brussel sprouts myself with about 5 minutes of prep and an oven. Our steaks were cooked exceptionally and were nearly tender enough to cut with a fork, but I've had better tasting pieces of meat for a fourth of the price.

Top-notch. Steakhouse at its core but plenty of good options. Meat-forward. Steak tartare excellent. Rib-eye (carpetbagger) was my choice. Good wine and classic cocktails.

The crabcake appetizer was great, very little breading. Skate wing was cooked perfectly. The thick cut Bentons bacon app was too much for one person, better to share. KC strip steak was great too.

Excellent brunch spot. Very relaxed , easy going atmosphere. Joey provided some of the best customer service I’ve experienced at any restaurant.

Great service and good portions. It is a little tight and the tables are a bit small. The steak frites I had were cooked perfectly and the fries were very good.

It's a small cozy place, with a pretty cool bar. The service was great and very friendly. Menu is small, but changes pretty frequently. Steaks seem to be their thing. The crab cake appetizer was awesome. Had the steak and it was cooked well, but I've honestly had better. The brussel sprouts were down right amazing. Good place. Will go back again but probably won't get the steak.
