The Fed

I got carry out, so I can't speak for my experience in store. However, from what I can tell, the environment and ambiance there is incredible. Very cozy, warm, and beautiful inside. I'll be back for dinner someday!The staff was very kind. Placing an order was very easy on the phone.I wanted a classic cheeseburger with fries, and for the price, quality, and taste, I was very happy. My friends ordered multiple things. They both got salads as starters, and the size was small. For the price, I was definitely expecting a lot more, so that was slightly disappointing. This was during the holiday time (November-December), so I can't find the items on the menu anymore, maybe it was a seasonal thing.

The food was amazing, as always!! We got the duck and I can't remember which steak I got, but it was the one with the red wine reduction sauce and asparagus, SO GOOD! The service was top notch, we had Andrew as our server, went there for our anniversary and they had a card on our table for us and would have had a free champagne toast but I'm 7 months pregnant so instead they gave us a free slice of cake. Very nice and delicious. The ambiance is always nice, kind of low lit, but it's the feel they're going for. Setting the mood at a bit romantic and relaxing. Highly recommend!

If I could leave 6 stars I would.My wife and I had our first dinning experience here tonight and I don't normally leave reviews, but this place is a gem.An organic farm to table scratch kitchen which was magnificent from beginning to end.I get a burger most places I go cuz I'm a simple dude, but this burger was legit the best I've ever had. My wife's gnocchi tenderloin and beet risotto were choice, and the carmel apple cheesecake was ridiculous. I hate to say it was also the best cheesecake I've ever had after giving the burger 100 stars, but the truth is it was also the best cheesecake we have ever had too.Ask for Kylie, she steered us right and her service was perfect. Additionally, Mark the manager is a weath of hospitality and beverage knowledge as well.Bring your husband's, bring wives, bring your kids, and your family, cuz everybody's got time for this... star star star star star

I highly recommend The Fed for a nice dinner! We went on a Wednesday night and made reservations and I'm glad we did because it was busy. Rotating menu, all farm to table and all tasty! We got the focaccia with hot butter, it was very good but not super oily like traditional focaccia. My husband got a makers mark on the rocks and the pasta alla pomodoro which was tasty with a little kick. I got the gnocchi saltado which was delightful, one of those meals you think about for months after. Our total bill was $93. Service was good but a tad slow. They had a live guitar player and singer but it was quiet enough to talk, beautiful and cozy place for a date night or a night out with your girlfriends.

Cheryl and I had a few hours before Counting Crows & Santana concert at Pine Knob Theatre. Fortunately, we stumbled on The Fed in beautiful downtown Village of Clarkston. The restaurant is a chic restored bank building. Our first clue it would be fabulous was the herb boxes out front of the restaurant.Cheryl ordered the Scallops over wild mushroom risotto and I ordered gnocchi saltado. As usual, we shared our bites and added a wonderful bottle of Predator Cabernet Sauvignon ( a new favorite ).Our waitress was a lovely woman with loads of experience and recommendations. I'm certain we will return for future concerts and definitely will return to The Fed

Went here for brunch recently with some friends. I had been here a few years ago and loved it. This second visit with friends did not disappoint. The decor is beautiful and our waiter was very friendly. We started with the beignets which were delicious, highly recommend getting those if you're in for brunch. They have a nice selection of brunch cocktails on the menu if that's your thing. I believe they have a bar downstairs with live music certain nights of the week which I definitely want to check out next time.

Had a very nice brunch before the Lions game last Sunday. We had a reservation for 4 at 10:15. We arrived a bit early and the hostess explained there would be a slight wait to give the servers and kitchen enough time to provide a great experience. We completely understood and were happy to move to the bar to grab a cocktail. We ordered mimosas and beers and before we knew it, our table was ready.Our server was wonderful. She explained the history behind the restaurant and invited us to look around the space. It's beautifully decorated was very inviting.I ordered the breakfast croque madame pizza. It was delicious. Loved the rosemary flavor in the crust! My friend got the avocado toast. So beautiful. After our brunch we went downstairs to check it out. Such a beautiful space- perfect for a party. We agreed it was a great spot and would definitely come back.

Poppin' atmosphere - a live band greeted us at the lower level upon entrance. Upstairs dining room is sublimely decorated. They serve a good Sancerre on the wine menu for a fair (as restaurants go) price. Menu feels limited - need a fish special/option other than salmon. Red wines rule the day on the wine list, but that's fine. Our group shared fried cauliflower and 4/4 agreed it was very good. The carrots were nice. 2/4 enjoyed those. The olives were delicious. Marinade was.... Interesting. Great on approach, tasted like soap in the aftertaste. My sister and I agreed this would be an awesome happy hour destination.... If they still had happy hour! We were informed by staff they no longer do a happy hour. Service was excellent - both knowledgeable and welcoming. Price points are high for serving sizes. Don't mind paying however, since there was no cover for entertainment. If you get early dinner reservations (closer to 6/7) and retire to basement party for after- dinner cordials, it's worth the time and pretty penny.

The Fed is a very aesthetic, beautifully decorated space for people to grab drinks and food. It's very lively and great atmosphere for a night of social drinking or even a romantic night out. They have live music/band performances on Friday and Saturday nights. The menu is unique and offers fun flavors and offerings. We had the Rick's flatbread minus the bacon and it was so good! Never thought I would eat flatbread with dill pickles and ranch on it, but with the combination of the truffle oil and onions, it was so tasty and blew me away. I also loved the refreshing kale salad. Not sure about the hazelnut though. The scallops ($40) were cooked perfectly but I didn't care for the wild mushroom risotto. You only get 3 scallops though. The truffle fries with garlic aioli was so good and not too greasy. The lavender lemonade was really good but expensive ($9) for a mocktail. The menu is a bit on the pricey side. Overall a neat restaurant to splurge a little when you want to treat yourself.

The Fed has always been a go to spot for nicer occasions. However, we had brunch reservations yesterday for my son in laws Birthday and called to see how to get my 86 year old mother to the restaurant with the roads closed due to the Taste of Clarkston festival. I was told that there was no place even close to park. Ok. I get that. She then informed me that brunch was no longer being served due to the amount of food allocated for TOC. We could have SALADS! Really?! That is not ok. No phone call, no respect. Busy week, I'm sure, but still no excuse.
