    The presentation is a little sloppy on the plate. Quality of meat is fair. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Overall, we had a very nice meal on our date night. The pate plate was quite good, with a nice variety. My sea bass was a special for the day and was very tender and the sauce was excellent. My wife’s shrimp and pasta was from the regularly menu and seemed a bit blah. Perhaps there are too many dishes in the menu and they should stick to specials of the day. The service was excellent and the meal was timed beautifully. My cappuccino at the end was not good at all - almost burnt.

    I loved Froggy's! Haven't been there in quite a while, but found it charming as ever. The placce itself is charming, with a discreetly muffled ambience. The service was impeccable; the waiter knowledgeable, patient and efficient, his ministrations well timed, never rushed. The menu is ample and the preparation perfect, everything delicious, nicely French but not too rich. he prices are remarkably reasonable, certainly moreso than many other local "upscale" restaurants. This place has been around a long time and is a real gem! Don't pass it by! SIX STARS.
