One of our best dinners here or anywhere! Enhanced by the personable and efficient service provided by Annette, our meal was over the top wonderful. My baked onion soup was incredible. My wife’s seafood sausage was deliciously unique. Our entrees were perfect: my wife’s duck breast and my trio of duck/venison/pheasant Wellington were wonderful. A cranberry tarts finished the meal off. Wines were reasonable as was the overall pricing considering quality and quantity. Magnifique!

Froggy's is consistently fabulous. The wine list is impressive with MANY very reasonably priced wonderful selections - something you don't see in many restaurants anymore as the prices of wine are inflated to extraordinary levels at so many restaurants. Bravo to them for keeping it sane.

We ate here for Valentine's Day. You would think that for $90.00 per person, they would have crushed it. They did not. Appetizers were Ok. My wife had the Dover Sole. It was fishy and probably not very fresh. Should have sent it back. I had the bouillabaisse. It was fair. This is a dish, that if it is on the menu, I will always order it. This was just OK. Dessert was good. Probably the best part of the meal. Not really sure if we will return. Very hard to find a good French restaurant.

We have frequented the restaurant for many many years. The ambience is amazing. The menu never changes and in fact, the menu on the Internet is not the same as what is at the restaurant. There are additions on the Internet menu that are not available at the restaurant without advance notice, as I asked about that. it would be nice to see a change in the menu for different seasons. The service was so-so.

As always, Froggy’s is a superb choice for an elevated dining experience. When you enter the restaurant, especially the smaller room to the front of the bar, you enter a beautiful winery-like setting that transplants you to a little inn in France. The food is presented so beautifully and tastes so delicious. Always, always, a wonderful treat.

Presentation of food was an artist's palette. Very small portions. Dressing on house salad drowned the lettuce. Two of us had the whitefish. It was o.k. On the plate was a dollop of mashed potatoes, small samples of veggies beautifully displayed. Bread and butter skimpy. We were celebrating a birthday and selected the apple/carmel tart. The crust was soggy and there were few apples on top. Food did not come near the level of the prices.

Ordered the beef Wellington, as it it one of my favorites that few restaurants offer. Big disappointment when it was served as a slice rather than a traditional pastry covered serving. Pastry was soggy and there was at most a few bites of beef. Mashed potatoes was about a spoonful. The best part of the dinner was the bread and butter. I doubt we will return!
