From the moment we walked in, everything about this restaurant was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive, and the food—absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality, and the menu offered a great variety for all palates. We especially loved the [insert specific dish if desired]—a must-try! This place exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Cocktails were tasty, and they have a good range of choices. We had the Gimlet and the Sun Kissed. The Lasanga, the Pork Shank and the New York Steak were all delicious. There were a few things that could have been better; the steak was cooked more than the requested medium rare, the server placed the bill on the table as soon as we finished our entrees without asking about dessert, and the special occasion we indicated when making the reservation was not acknowledged. All in all a very enjoyable dinner.

Excellent service and excellent staff at Frog & Slim. Went there for Mother's Day brunch and my mother in law was very happy. Ashley was our server and she was wonderful, handling our special requests /questions and being super helpful. I could have eaten the whole plate of devilled eggs on my own! Thank you, we will be back.

Drinks took a while to receive. I don't like my entrée delivered when I'm still enjoying my appetizer, salad. That makes me feel rushed.

This was my 3rd time having dinner here in the last 3 years. Each time has been quick and friendly service. The food has been consistently good each time I dined here. Last night was as good as all my past visits. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I had the braised pork shank. It was tender and fell off the bone. The flavors were rich and savory. The whole experience was great.

Would definitely recommend Frog & Slim. The atmosphere was a vibe, but not kitschy at all. The food was really good. We ordered the deviled eggs, braised pork, and finished with the bread pudding. I think that the pork could have benefitted from a vegetable to round out the dish, but overall it was delicious. The service was excellent, and while we did get there pretty early in the evening, the space was lively but not loud at all. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying some other items on the menu.
