Federal Fritter & Bistro

Spectacular food in a truly mediocre setting. We had a gazpacho with Yellow, Tomato, and pineapple that was sublime.
Potato gnocchi with shrimp and jumbo lump crab also truly fabulous

Service was friendly, but a bit intrusive, too attentive. The restaurant was empty when we were there Wednesday night at 8 PM; and they kept trying to take our dishes away. Not really to push us out of the restaurant that just because they had nothing else to do.

And a truly terrible blueberry peach cobbler. I took one bite. They did comp me on the desert.

So most of the food is really quite good. But the ambiance is that of a mid range chain restaurant with super bright lighting. ( and I mean SUPER bright )

We would never go back because at these prices you want a total experience.

Obviously, I am the outlier in this review. Since most people love this place.
Not us 🙁🙁

This was a good find. Service was friendly and very responsive. Food was great - kids had the sausage rigatoni and enjoyed. Also recommend the homemade gnocchi w/seafood…delicious! Recommend skipping the Tiger shrimp app, not our favorite but the team did a great job addressing. Super impressed! Last, do yourself a favor and get the apple pie fritters. They were amazing!! Don’t have time for a full meal, grab a fritter snack. Again, great service!

Delicious food and very attentive staff. The parm and risotto fritters were amazing as well as the apple fritters. Great corn bread too. The scallop and risotto dish was perfect as was the cannelloni noodle dish. The mocktails are really good and the smoked old fashion drink was great. Definitely going back!!!!
