Lovely staff, amazing service, and nice cold beer 🍻
The Federal’s Cuban deserves to be more than just a Cuban. It’s phenomenal. Add the salad with the cilantro vinaigrette and you’ve got a 5 Star meal.
I had 6 fillings done in the morning, a concert in 30 minutes, and a mission to eat dinner somehow. It was pretty quiet but definitely too early for any normal bar crowd to be around. The bartender was super helpful and I got my food basically minutes after I ordered it. I ordered the soup of the day (chicken tortilla) and the fries (a small order which was still pretty large). They were both so good. I wish I'd had savoring time and an extra hour to enjoy every bite...
