This was my first time visiting a Federick's after hearing nothing but great things. I was quite disappointed in the bland, tasteless food. We ordered the chili chicken, crispy beef, and szechuan eggplant. The beef was literally just battered and fried, no sauce or any type of flavor. The chili chicken had no flavor at all. It was no different from any other bland chicken dish you get at sub-par chinese restaurants. The eggplant was the only thing worth eating, and even that's a stretch.
Also, as many say, wait staff could use some work. But I'm not very picky about that as long as the food is up to par.
