Was there Sunday night! Sat at the bar with friends and had dinner. The bartender was so nice!! I forgot her name but she was awesome. Great service and good food! I think her name is Danielle :)

Super cool spot with great service. The bartender, Danielle, was extremely friendly and attentive. She made a great gin and cucumber drink that was both refreshing and effective. 10/10 would recommend.
Exquisite pasta and service, the food is truly exquisite! And the amazing burger too

Danielle, Nicole and Julie are fantastic bartenders. Even when they are fully packed at the bar and providing service for a fully packed restaurant, they are social and get everything just right! Two of the managers, Alex and Cindy always take the time to stop and say hi and check on us when we are here.

Watching football at The Federal Bar, Baptist Health IcePlex. Great atmosphere, good drinks, excellent customer seriously and catching the games —perfect way to spend the afternoon! ??Shoutout to Danielle she makes THE BEST old fashioned.

The service was clearly a bit wonky for us (attentive but wrong drinks, forgotten drinks, delayed food - a long evening) but we all still really enjoyed this relatively new FL option. The food was pretty good and the drinks during happy hour were very cheap! We sat at the bar which was very pleasant and comfortable. The restaurant is smallish but there are some outdoor tables that look over the pickle ball courts that will be great when the weather turns. It is located upstairs in the new (and excellent) ice arena facility next to the War Memorial. It was fun to watch the hockey games and practices also. We will definitely be back.

The Federal Restaurant is a fantastic spot to grab a bite! The food is consistently delicious, with a menu that offers something for everyone. What makes it even better is the atmosphere—you can enjoy your meal while watching pickleball or hockey on the big screens. It’s the perfect place to combine great food with a bit of sports action.
I don’t know who would rate this place below a 5 star.. Seriously people need a life.
This place is amazing. The food is quality and the prices are REASONABLE!
They also have a HOT lobster roll!! Love it

Aaron was excellent, he knew the menu inside and out and recommended great drinks. We went for my birthday with a few friends and had a good time. Will be going back for $10 burger Wednesday.

It's okay, not bad but not great. Expected a bit more since this is part of a well known restaurant group. Maybe it's the structure? Bit chaotic. Don't order the spinach dip. Ask for an itemized check during happy hour to make sure you get the correct pricing. Came for the burger special, it lacked something. Could be just presentation. Staff was friendly and nice but never checked in during to see how we where doing. Overall it's a nice time, I would come back for just a beer.

It is very well located! beautiful place to hang out, great servers that serve you here. But the food can be dangerous, I had their Cali Burger, it did not taste like a beef patty burger, it lacks flavor and my stomach was rambling for hours after. I even threw up a little. It is definitely food poisoning. Everyone shared the loaded nachos and that was ok. Plus, I don’t understand why they won’t allow separate checks among more than 4 people. Overall, I would drink here but not order food especially the burger. Also, their bowls are super small. Not good for the value at all.

Awesome spot to hang out when any sports events are happening (especially the Panthers). The variety of drinks and foods are great as well. I came here for $10 burger night (with a purchase of a drink and just the Federal burger) and it was so delicious. Planning to come back soon for other occasions.
