This is my third time dining at Frog & Slim and it did not disappoint. Janelle provided excellent service, was very knowledgeable about all the menu items, and attentive without hovering. My friends and I ordered different items (deviled eggs, bruschetta, braised pork shank, artisan lasagne, wagyu burger, pumpkin spice crème brûlée, bread pudding) and everything was delicious. The stand outs for me were the bruschetta with the toasted rye bread and the bread pudding. I will definitely be back!

I brought my husband here for his birthday. From the moment we walked in, everything was lovely. They had printed his name and happy birthday on the menus. They brought us complementary Cava to toast his birthday. I am a vegetarian and I loved my appetizer and entrée. My husband loved everything he had as well. The staff are so kind and welcoming. This was our first time dining here. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

This was our second time visiting the restaurant and it was as good or better than our first visit. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable. Food is excellent. There was a large party near us which is the only reason that I said that the noise level was a bit high. Fantastic restaurant!
