Nice casual atmosphere, pork meal was tasty, well cooked with a delightful beetroot and potatoe salad, the Barra and charcoal crusted "lonely" prawn on a bed of cauliflower rice was great, but the initial appearance was dull and boring , however very nice to eat. Glass of wine during happy hour was $6 đź‘Ś

Lovely staff. Nice chilled atmosphere very close to theatre and food simple but delicious. White table cloths and traditional feel without the stuffiness. Great location for going to festival centre or convention centre after meal. Friendly helpful staff. My dietary requirements looked after without any problems.

Staff couldn't crack a smile when greeting or when service was provided. We booked 2 wks ahead with a mention of it being a special day but still got squeezed in to a corner. Lamb was tasty but the sides were cold just like the room. Could have gone to the local pub for a better cheaper meal. Won't be coming back.

The food is simple but beautifully prepared. The wine list is small, but has quality offerings. The staff are lovely. Under rated restaurant that is well worth a visit.

If you’re wanting a fun “restaurant” with free activities and marginal food, the Federal will tick those boxes. Our Full Breakfasts came out barely warm, mushrooms cold, and there were plenty of airborne guests joining us for our food and wine, a couple even dive bombing the fruit of the vine. One thirsty fly ended up in a glass of water and was covered with a napkin, then dispatched to the kitchen for a microwave treatment. The staff openly admitted the insect problem, got me thinking a sign would have been handy, we would have picked somewhere else. (I’m just fussy when it comes to sharing my dining experience with non humans!).
I called for the manager but got a supervisor, who, to her credit, dealt with the matter favourably and urged us to return for a repeat of our previous high tea experience when they get the insect problem sorted. Surprisingly it was revealed that the complaint was welcome as the management didn’t actively respond to the staff concerns about the insect problem.....
Says a lot about senior management, they obviously don’t sit in their own restaurant, but clearly they should!!

Food outstanding, staff outstanding, a most enjoyable evening. The restaurant is the perfect complement for the accommodation.

No variety on the menu. And the small selections on the menu were overpriced and unappealing. Ended up leaving. Dull lighting and awful decor. Overall extremely unimpressive.

Beautifully cooked steak with delicious sides and a 10/10 pannacotta that was smooth, light and beautifully balanced in flavours!

Looking for a place to have a quick lunch led us to The Federal Restaurant and Bar in the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel Adelaide 125 North Tce, Adelaide. Tucked away on the left of the entrance, it's your basic hotel restaurant with basic looking decor. We weren't looking to have a big lunch and lucky for us the Federal had a "Something Small" menu which suited us just fine.

The Federal Restaurant and Bar is located inside the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel on North Terrace. Designed as a place for all occasions, it’s a perfect place for guests staying in the hotel or executives who want a long lunch. The menu reminds me of your typical pub fare with starters, mains, grilled meats and dessert.

Good time here. Was great food and renovations are nice and modern. Ideal date place and also family dining. Highly recommend checking it out!

Slow service, menu uninspiring. Up a set of stairs with no apparent disabled access. Fairly sure wine does not belong in a buffet format.

The restaurant has a good outlook over North Terrace and provides a short lunch menu of good meals. The hot chocolate came Piazza D'Oro glass ...
