The Federal

Made a reservation online and added my gluten, egg, and dairy allergies to the note. When we arrived, the waiter knew my restrictions, had already spoke with the chef, and was ready to explain my options. I ordered the short ribs with broccolini and asked if they could make me a starch since I couldn’t eat either a la carte potato options. They were able to make me oil roasted potatoes which were great. I had the sorbet with fresh fruit for dessert. Overall I went in to dinner with a little anxiety but was very impressed with how they handled everything. I felt very safe and taken care of.

I called ahead to ask if they could accommodate GF and they said they could. Waiter had very limited knowledge of GF but did check in items. Limited options for GF. Had the beef short ribs and they were pretty dry. Brussel sprouts came with a crispy fried onion in them which was obviously not GF
