The Federal

Atlanta
New American Restaurant
$$$$

Named after the nearby Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Shaun Doty's (Bantam+Biddy, YEAH! Burger) restaurant is part European bistro, part American steakhouse. The winning combination yields heavy French- and German-inspired dishes like pork schnitzel, steak frites, and oxtail French onion soup, plus standard steakhouse cuts. Open all day, The Federal serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as coffee and cocktails, making it a reliable spot for Midtown nine-to-fivers looking for a morning caffeine break, post-work drink, and anything in between.
