- For a side, we were all about the sweet potato & pancetta hash… The sweet potato was a bit crispy and still very firm. With oh-so-sweet caramelized sugars covering each delicious bit. – The Watery Gourmet
- We ate steak, lobster, shrimp, whipped potatoes, and creamed spinach and everything was outstanding! Our server was very nice and efficient… – ChicagoSandJ, TripAdvisor
Federal Taphouse & Kitchen
Federal Taphouse & Kitchen serves casual fare prepared with gourmet consideration. Diners sip on racks of sticky ribs glazed in a Thai sauce and complemented by fresh ginger, or opt for a hearty flatbread topped with brown sugar–glazed bacon, grilled pears, and toasted cashews. The menu also boasts old-fashioned chicken 'n' waffles, paired with authentic Rhode Island maple syrup. Everything goes with the wide selection of craft beers and artfully selected wines, and the eatery mixes things up on Taco Tuesdays and daily Appy Hour specials.
