Traditional menu of drinks, appetizers and entrees done exceptionally well. We tried salmon, sea bass, Wagyu burger, and rack of lamb--all delicious, nice presentation. Bread pudding dessert was modest in size and big on flavor, good texture. We sat outside, indoors might be louder. Will go back again.

I made reservations for two (outdoor seating only available) and upon arriving requested to sit at the bar, which was available. The weather was warm and indoor seating was more comfortable. We ordered two drinks from the bar that were well made. The appetizers arrived in a timely manner and the main dishes were also brought out within 15 minutes. Our waiter made sure to ask how the food was and made every effort to make our experience enjoyable. For a “quick seating” dinner spot, the prices were on the higher end for you would get at a comparable restaurant in downtown; however, I would recommend this place to others and would return.

This was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in Sacramento and I will very much be looking forward to the next time I can get a table. The dry aged ribeye the octopus the pork shank and the burger were all to die for. I would say if your coming in hungry, get the pork shank or burger but honestly all of the options had a good amount of food. The devilled eggs were delicious however the carpaccio and muscles were far more substantial as an appetiser. The bread pudding is easily the tastiest I’ve ever experienced. The ganache truffles were also incredible. The crème brûlée while delicious is definitely people who prefer a deep brown sugar taste to the traditional custard. Overall 10/10 loved everything I had here.

I had the octopus and loved it. My friends had the orzo risotto and beet salad -- those were great, too. Our server and the host were terrific. Definitely one of Sacramento's best restaurants. (I reserve 5 stars for mind-blowing, so this really is a top rating!)

We enjoyed our experience here very much. This restaurant is very well-organized. One of the owners ("Slim") was very present, greeting us, managing the seating, serving food, helping the servers and taking orders. And when we left he thanked us and said goodbye! Our server (Jess) was so warm, friendly, informative and competent. The staff here works together and seem to really enjoy working here. We didn't know that we would be dining here until the night before and they were full so we had an outside table which was unfortunately pretty noisy...other than that we really liked the food as well..the Kobe beef carpaccio and the bruschetta were so delicious and attractively presented...we also had the octopus and mussels entrees which were also really good..we'd dine here again tomorrow if we lived in Sacramento!

From the moment we walked in the door we had a phenomenal experience. The service was the best I’ve received in a long time! The owner even came to our table to greet us. And at the end of the meal the chef came to talk with us too. Impressive. The food…let’s talk about the food! The flavors and presentation were outstanding! This is my new favorite restaurant for sure! I’ll be back.

Went to Frog & Slim for the first time. Really a great experience. The service was top notch. The food was really good. The outside patio was nice, with the exception of some loud cars and Downtown Sacramento characters. That isn't the restaurant's fault in any manner but something to consider and you may want to eat inside. Overall, this place is really good.

We dined here before going to see wicked. The menu selection is seasonal and the selections were diverse and hard to pick which one would hit the spot for the night. We had four diners and everyone was delighted with their selections. The waiter was kind and attentive and the manager stopped by occasionally to check in. The decor is trendy but has depth. Everything is locally sourced including the wines; if you have a favorite wine from out of state, we saw others bring their own, and I imagine a small corkage fee. The colors are calming if you are looking for a break during or at the end of the day or on the weekend.
