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.
