The Frog and TurtleMother's Day BrunchHad yet another wonderful time at F&T for brunch Mother's Day. Their homemade donuts are to die for and their eggs benedict were fantastic as well.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBrunch at Frog & TurtleThis was excellent. Fun drinks, unique specials and delicious made from scratch items.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMusic the keyFrog & Turtle has some of the best music in the Portland area. I saw the Tony Boffa group, but the ToneKings and JMB are also great. That with good food, fantastic service and good ambiance make for a very enjoyable and special evening.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always, the meals hereAs always, the meals here are delicious! The salads were fresh and the mixed greens with avocado was exceptional. I had the chicken crepes, but substituted goat cheese for the Brie...pure comfort food! My husband had the chicken breast with crispy orricchiette, he said it was the best chicken and pasta he has ever had...and we eat out a lot!! My only concern throughout the meal was the incredibly slow service...we have eaten at this restaurant many times, and I realize that the food is made to order, but almost an hour until we got our entree seems over the top. It was not an unusually busy night, or so it seemed by the number of tables occupied. We will go back because we love the food, but only when we are prepared for a long night....4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife had one of the specials,My wife had one of the specials, pan seared trout with chutney on a bed of jasmine rice. It was delicious. I had one of the other specials, duck cooked 2 ways. One way was sliced and the other way was roasted, served with spinach and a garlic sauce. This was also delicious. Our server was excellent. She knew everything on the dinner menu, the specials, the beer and wine list. Our appetizer took longer than we expected, but but worth the wait. They do tell you to expect a 30 minute or so wait for the entree. If we had something to complain about, it would be the noise level. Just a little too loud. Because of that, I would not call it fine dining, even though the food was.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMFrog & Turtle also has greatFrog & Turtle also has great music on a weekly basis.4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food. I entertainExcellent food. I entertain there for business regularly and consistently have great meals, and service. They cook everything to order and do an outstanding job modifiying their receipes to make gluten free meals for me. I'm always excited to get things like seafood chowder (award winning) that are gluten free. They have a range of seating options from window booths, to "living room seating for casual eating, to tucked in areas that accommodate large groups.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMDonuts from Brunh, heavenly.The food and service are fantastic. Love the decor of the Frog and Turtle. Donuts at brunch are out of this world. We find the noise level to be a bit overwhelming at times. There is so much going on with the open kitchen, the bar and the tight space of the restaurant as well as the high metal ceiling that it is what it is. I do wish though that they would kill the music when the place fills up (not the live bands, of course)because it doesn't add anything but more clamor - a background din that simply causes people to speak a little louder.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstandingI live in Westbrook and have frequented The Frog and Turtle with family and friends. I had two clients from away and decided to bring them to F&T instead of going into Portland. They thoroughly enjoyed it as did I. I think they were worried a bit when we parked but once we got inside and settled that was erased. The staff was great and the recommendations by the waitress spot on, she was wonderful. My guests eat at places all over the east coast and thought F&T was outstanding. Thank you for a top notch dining experience. The only negative was the space was too loud as the acoustics are not good.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA perfect evening with myA perfect evening with my lady. The band was excellent, seldom loud enough to hinder conversation. The seafood dishes we had were very tasty. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation time and after a short wait were seated. The service was great.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love the Frog and Turtle.We love the Frog and Turtle. Food is great and live music a plus.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was absolutely fabulous!!!The food was absolutely fabulous!!! Mussels were beyond yummy. We were seated in the bar area for dinner and the band was VERY loud. I would ask for a table further away next time.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMI like the Neighborhood GemI like the Neighborhood Gem option. That defines this spot well. I really enjoy the Frog and Turtle. I think I am most impressed with their ability to make their own well 'everything'.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
