   If you want a really crazy big good juicy awesome fillet, then this is your place! We did ask if they had a smaller than 12 ounce but my wife and I split it and it was more than enough. Spinach was a little bit too garlicky but the brussels sprouts were amazing.

   Excellent service! Best wedge salad we’ve ever eaten and pork schnitzel was beyond delicious!

   As always great food. Great service as well. Still think the price point is marginally high for brunch, but hey I keep coming back so....

   The service is very casual, yet attentive. The food and drinks are ridiculously expensive, BUT the food is phenomenal!

   It's a relatively small place with a small menu focused on steak and a bar scene. The essential problem is that it's just overpriced. Even the Prix Fixe special, only available early on certain days, is $40. And the a la carte menu is a good bit pricier - easy to spend more than $100 - $120 per person for a complete meal with a couple of glasses of wine. The least expensive wine is $10, but most of the wines are priced at $15 up. The atmosphere is dark and homey but a bit dated. Service is very informal. The food, while simple, is excellent.

   My partner and I chose the Federal after spending the early evening at the High Museum. We chose to sit outside since the weather was pleasant. Service was great with an attentive but not intrusive waiter. The drinks came quickly and were very good. They have a extensive wine list and a variety of cocktails. We ordered the porterhouse for 2 which was outstanding with garlic spinach & fries as sides. Definitely enjoyed the entire experience and will return

    We had a lovely time at the restaurant . Food was really good just a little pricier than we thought it should be for what they offer. One of our guests did have a incident though. She bent over in her chair to pick up her glasses and her chair slide out from underneath her causing her to fall on the floor. She was ok but the chairs do slide very easy on the type of flooring that was used in the restaurant. The staff was very nice and did come right over to ask if she was ok. We will definitely be back even if it’s for some drinks and hang at the bar.
