The Federal

Exceptional service from Chloé she made my birthday dinner such an awesome first experience dining here, ambiance is amazing along with the Passion fruit martini, truffle mac n cheese with tail, the steak was a true hit! I highly recommend will definitely be back definitely worth the 40 min drive from CT (bonus perk: complimentary valet parking) this place definitely gives chic elegant upscale vibes x ❤

The Federal is a long standing establishment in Agawam, and is a lovely building and place to dine and have special occasions. However, my recent visit was a disappointment. The price for our meals were $49.99 each; the food was creatively prepared and presented, but my lobster dish was undercooked. The lobster tails, (3 1/2 tails) were the size of large shrimp and the meat was stuck to the shell and difficult to remove. It came with two pot stickers in a bisque “sauce”. My husband chose the short ribs with mashed potato and asparagus, and said it was good but the portion was not substantial… I hosted a bridal shower at The Federal 5 years ago and it was outstanding. My recent experience was truly a disappointment ☹️

Upscale dining with excellent service and food. Felt like I was in an old mansion. I give 4 stars for Atmosphere only because seating arrangement was a little tight for my taste.

Fantastic! Service is excellent!

My wife and i started off with a nice bottle of of Caymus Cabernet Savignon. My wife had the stuffed fig appetizer and had the baked salmon for dinner. I had the pan roasted filet mignon with lobster tail. My wife had the German chocolate cake for dessert. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were there immediately if we needed anything.

Never fails to disappoint. Food is always delightful, staff extremely gracious. Linda, you were the best assuring all is but the best. Pleasantly surprised by the tiny treat given us for our 10th anniversary.
