    I think the food is very good. Service is seriously lacking esp at a high end hotel. You order something and it is not correct. Staff is so MIA you have to hunt them down for help. However, the food is good and it is always quiet so it is a tough decision to go or not.

    The menu was lacking and overpriced. The crab cake was dry and tasted frozen with no seasoning. There was no one there and the service was pretty slow. Wish we’d just gone somewhere else but we stayed at the hotel and decided to try it. The popcorn macaron ice cream sandwich wasn’t all the reviews seemed to suggest, but the sticky toffee pudding was very good. At least we ended on a high note.

    First visit and consistent with the majority of reviews; setting and ambience is great with beautiful retro-style bar setting, food is excellent with a small, focussed menu - the duck 'wings' were the highlight! Service was the one area that lets it down; to be clear, the actual service we received was excellent, it just took an age to be seated, our order taken, drinks served etc as they're clearly understaffed. I appreciate this is impacting all industries but this has been a comment in reviews for over a year now, mgmnt need to address the issue.

    The fish and chips (crispy cod and fries) were served soggy. The steak was slightly over cooked. It was also way too loud in the establishment - feels like we were in an Irish pub.

    Initial impression was “nice decor”. Then we had plenty of time to survey the entire room and ambience, noting the youth of the clientele! We waited and waited at the entrance as servers walked past us, two elderly ladies. Finally after about five minutes we asked a server if we should just seat ourselves. Hhe asked if we had reservations. Then he got another server who seated us at a corner table for four. Our waiter was gracious, asked if we were guests at the hotel, brought our drinks promptly, asked if we wanted any modifications to our order. The drinks were nicely presented and the hamburgers were great. The noise level was pleasantly low so we could have a quiet conversation. Tha waiter thanked us for coming, asked if we enjoyed our visit and invited us to return.

    We enjoyed a fun night out at the Fed. Service was attentive and we tried four different cocktails and they were all excellent. For drinks alone, it was a 5-star experience. Food-wise, the menu is quite limited. The oysters and lobster we had were great. Steak frites was well-prepared but the amount of steak was slightly underwhelming. Will return for drinks and maybe try the seafood tower next time.

    Food options were great. Everything was delicious, although the portions were a little small for the price that was charged. The server was fantastic--just attentive enough to make sure all of our needs were taken care of, but not overly aggressive. The bar has a good ambiance. While we liked the food, we would be reluctant to go back given the prices that were charged.

    The service was impeccable, given that everything is slower these days, and the drinks were works of art. The food was extremely salty. Usually when I think food is salty, it's practically inedible to anyone else. I had the steak frites and I could see visible crystals of salt. My husband couldn't eat the fries as they made him pucker up from the salt; this was a win for me as I got to eat them for him. There were very limited options for vegetarians. Overall, I think this place can improve. However, I look forward to seeing it get better and I would try it again at a later time.
