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.

All food was excellent (special shout out for the pork shank--incredible; and the beet salad and bread pudding). Service was excellent. And unlike many places, this one is not super-loud so conversation was easy.

Looked for some place different for a business dinner and tried Frog & Slim. The drinks were fantastic, the appetizers were fantastic, the staff were fantastic, the chef was fantastic, our meals were fantastic, and desert was fantastic. Around the table we had new york, halibut, ribeye - all were perfectly cooked and the flavor was amazing. Everyone was "this is one of the best steaks I've ever had". The bread pudding was just incredible! Definitely north of $50/person for a meal but worth every penny and we'll be using them often going forward.

We tried Frog & Slim for the first time for their Easter brunch. There were five of us and we only got four baked goods in the basket that was brought to the table. I ordered a glass of wine that never arrived so we finally canceled it. But the food was good and the service was very friendly and prompt other than the wine.

I have been here before about a year ago and absolutely loved it. I was excited to go for my birthday. The Halibut was so overcooked and dry, I could barely get it down. It came with cauliflower that was mushy and didn't have much flavor. The service was not good at all. It was not that crowded and our server barely paid attention to us.
