"I have dined here about a half dozen times. The food is great. The service is not. I was surprised to hear that anyone had good service here because I consistently have had slow, inattentive or down right rude service here. We go back because it's convenient and we work very close by, but our last experience we stood for more than 8 minutes waiting to be acknowledged, the server who finally came over was downright rude. We saw her drop things from someone's table and kick those things across the room. We finally got seated and waited another 15 minutes for someone to come to the table. Their patio had people out there but there was no one inside but it looked like they had only 2 servers working. Our sandwiches did not come with any pasta salad or anything on the side like they used to and our table was missing the two non-alcoholic beverages that were ordered until half way through the meal. My advice is to try Brelundi, perhaps you will have a different experience than we have had. If you like Italian food, the food is worth the wait. The bread is delicious, the pasta and sandwiches and salads are great. Just be aware that your service may be extremely slow, they will forget items and may be rude to you. Also, any time we have gone (at lunch time) I was berated and not seated for not having a reservation so I now make sure I call and make reservations before attempting to go there or we get take out."

"Osterio ist sicherlich ein gutes Restaurant, aber insgesamt waren wir aus mehreren Gründen enttäuscht. Bei jedem Kurs war einer von uns enttäuscht von dem, was serviert wurde. Ich begann mit dem Caprese-Salat, aber anstatt saftige Erbstücktomaten zu verwenden, verwendete das Gericht kleine Kirschtomaten, die in einem riesigen grünen Bett vergraben waren, und der angeblich hausgemachte Mozzarella sah aus und schmeckte eher wie rasierter Parmesan. Das Dressing war zu süß, schwer und ähnelte nicht Balsamico-Essig. Das Gericht ähnelte auch keiner Art von Caprese-Salat, den ich jemals serviert hatte. Es sollte meiner Meinung nach nicht als Caprese-Salat bezeichnet werden. Meine Frau genoss jedoch den Erntesalat. Das Brot schien nicht frisch zu sein und war abgestanden. Für Vorspeisen bekam meine Frau die Schellfisch mit gerösteten Pilzen und Kartoffelpüree Spezial, was ich sagen muss, war von den Charts köstlich. Aber ich war enttäuscht von dem toskanischen Meeresfrüchte-Eintopf. Es enthielt Garnelen, gut gemacht, aber der Rest des Gerichts bestand aus gummiartigen, winzigen Calamari, winzigen, winzigen Muscheln in der Schale und einem winzigen Stück Weißfisch, die alle in einer würzigen Sauce mit drei oder vier großen Ciabatta auf der Schale vergraben waren oben. Optisch war es appetitlicher als die tatsächliche Erfahrung, das Gericht zu essen. Der Service war einfach so. Wir mussten um Brot bitten, und es dauerte zu lange, bis wir unsere Bestellung aufgeben konnten. Es kam jedoch jemand vorbei, um unsere Getränkebestellung direkt nach dem Sitzen entgegenzunehmen, was sehr schön war. Positiv zu vermerken ist, dass das Getränk meiner Frau hervorragend war. Sie bekam den Hayride und er hatte geschickt eine dünne Apfelscheibe, die mit einer engen Nadel an der Lippe des Glases befestigt war. Ziemlich cool. Fazit für uns: Dieses Restaurant ist nicht billig und wir haben ein besseres Speiseerlebnis für den Preis erwartet. Wir könnten wegen des Schellfischgerichts zurückkehren, aber sonst nicht sicher"

"This review is based on my dining Experience on : 1)Wednesday June 02nd, 2021 , 7:30 PM 2) Friday July 16th 2021 8:00PM 3) Tuesday May 02, 2022 7:30PM Wednesday June 02nd, 2021. Like every Wednesday, I was visiting one of the many restaurants in my beautiful city of Waltham. Usually I always have a different guest. This time we decided to try The Federal, a modern steakhouse Restaurant with classic Italian Vibe, that has already set a high standard to the point that if I can add another star I will do it. I have to say that each staff member involved with my reservation performed an outstanding job. From Joe, the Hosts who answered the phone to accommodate my reservation, Sony, the most unique bussers, who speak several language, very accommodate and friendly, Aaron, a true classic waiter, who is very knowledgeable, able to recommend cocktails and food dishes, extraordinary demeanors, and genuine smile; I cannot leave behind my compliments for the bartender and chef, Excellent Job! And of course the Elegant gentlemen who authorized my entrance to the crystal cage where they store a jaw dropping selection of wines from Italy, France and of course USA. All of them convey a Winning attitude. Regarding the food and beverage quality, The Sangrias and other cocktails were tasteful and refreshing, our meal starting from the appetizers and salad such as: Beet Fried Goat Cheese, Classic Chopped Caesar, calamari Fritto, Panko Crusted Haddock, with Lemon Risotto, Asparagus Delightful! Prime Skirt Steak Frites, with Garlic Butter Parmesan Fried, and to finish off with a flourish a rich, smooth and marvelous Tiramisu. Overall The Federal reunites all the factors to make a restaurant experience great: Friendly, personalized service, Consistently great food, A memorable atmosphere, and Efficient customer service. I truly recommend this restaurant and I will come back! Cheers! Friday July 16th 2021 8:00PM This time we celebrate my husband's birthday, and as always everything was very exquisite. As Argentines they are, they loved the steaks, tried several of the cuts and sauce, and everything exceeded my expectations. Dining Experience May 3rd, 2022. A year later I visited The Federal in Waltham for my social gatherings and confirmed that their quality standards are undeniably real. My guests were impressed with the hygiene of the restaurant, the design, not to mention the impressive wine gallery, spectacularly displayed in an extravagant glass box... Make your wish! And the quality of the service, which by the way Sarah or Samantha, please forgive me for forgetting her name, but not her outstanding service, since she was a key piece so that Our dining experience was extraordinary. As always, complement to the chef... My Panko Crusted Haddock dish, always my favorite, was like losing the protocol and sucking your fingers!
