    I always try to be honest in my reviews, there is absolutely no point in lying. Here we go. I booked a table for one, arrived, was seated. Ordered a bottle of wine, they had sold out, so ordered a different one. A 14 year old child was my server initially. Another server took my starter order, Brussel sprouts, i didn't order a main because i hadn't quite decided yet. When the starter arrived, i ordered my main, two mouthfuls into the starter, the main arrived ! i told the 14 year old young lady i wasn't ready for it yet. Two minutes later, she again brought the main, i was only half way through my starter. I said please take it away until i'm ready. 10 minutes later the child brought it back, prime rib at $31 by the way, i said, the fat has turned white, which means it is cold, i took a mouthful and it was cold. I asked for it to be changed. Five minutes later, a guy, the chef/owner came to my table and said he would not tolerate the F bomb being used to a 14 year old girl, i was confused, i had not sworn at anyone, let alone a 14 year old child. He confronted me by saying "are you saying she is a liar ?" i said, she may have misunderstood something i said, but i definitely did NOT swear at anyone. 10 minutes later, he asked me to leave, saying he would take her word over mine, i understand you have to have faith in your staff, but on this occasion, because she lied, he was wrong. I have dined out nearly every night for the last 25 days, never in a million years would i go near this place again ! If you employ 14 year old children, you will never have a restaurant worth anything. Sending a main out with the starter is amateurish at the very least, and sending it with an inexperienced 14 year old child is worse.

    Frog & The BullResponded on March 6, 2023She was a 14-year-old... hostess / busser. Does it really matter? You cussed out a 14-year-old, and the experienced female server who took your order, and corroborated by our other patrons. That's why I sent you packing. I'd be happy to do it again. I also would've been happy to remake your dish given that your leisurely desires were unusual, but only on decent terms and conditions. I confess, I don't have any patience for people who treat my staff as less. All else welcome ( - :

    Mixed feelings. Drinks arrived after several dishes arrived and we had to remind them twice. Meatballs were cold. Patatas Bravas is not boiled potatoes in tomatosauce. Other dishes were fine. Drinks when they arrived were as well. Realize it was Valentines day, we will give it another try.

    I was a bit apprehensive about trying this place because it had mixed reviews. However, I decided to give it a shot on Valentine's Day, and am I glad I did! I REALLY enjoyed it. While looking at their website and menu online, I was a little confused. I couldn't really tell if they were a Tapas Bar, a Steakhouse, Fine Dining, or Sports Bar. However, when I got there, I found out they were all of the above. The atmosphere is sort of "mixed". It's a cross between fine dining, and upscale sports bar. There are large TV's on every wall, but the "Mood" is sort of "upscale". They had good music playing in the background, the tables had black tablecloths on them, and the chairs were comfortable. The staff were all well dressed and groomed, and very friendly. The Co-Owner (husband/wife team) was front and center and very accommodating. One of their featured items is their prime rib. My prime rib was big, good flavor, and cooked the way I like it. My wife had the Oso Bucco and it was tender and flavorful (and quite large). They have all sorts of craft cocktails, and the bartender was pretty awesome. Make reservations, though, because the place was PACKED by 7:00 - 8:00.

    Frog & The BullResponded on March 7, 2023Thanks for your kind words! I love this review and sometimes we wonder if it seems we have an identity crisis. We don't mean to. Frog & The Bull has four rules, the first of which is Nail Our Theme. Nail Our Theme means three things: eclectically energetic, classy-sexy, Iberian inspired, upscale-casual. When we first added the TVs [at our regulars' request] we were worried it would impair our classy-sexy feel for fear of being interpreted as a sports bar. It did not. It enhanced it.

    Your establishment was understaffed. Our waitress was doing her best, but couldn't keep up. The waiter doing omelettes had a line 12 people deep. The omelettes were tasteless. You need to season somehow! Food was a big disappointment. The food buffet served COLD food. The chicken and biscuits tasted like frozen box items. There were limited choices for a breakfast BUFFET...only three entrees and a green salad to choose from... AND your Bloody Mary's were NOT what was represented on your website...not even an olive!!! There were no olives, shrimp, bacon, etc. as represented in the online picture...that's false advertising! This was two visits in one...my first and my LAST! For the SAME price of $25, I can go to Steiner Ranch breakfast buffet, not far away, and enjoy a PLETHORA of food choices deliciously prepared.

    The food was good but average. Salad was missing some ingredients. Date appetizer was fried - tasty but a lil overdone. The salmon was good but orzo just ok. Waiter was a lil slow checking in with us and getting bill to pay. Music was loud and not a nice vibe - cursing in some of it.

    Frog & The Bull was AMAZING! I took my boyfriend there for our anniversary because I saw it on a list for one of the best date night restaurants. We both had steaks and they may have been one of the best steaks either one of us have had. Better than a Maestros. The owner served us and he was very friendly and personable. I highly recommended

    This has been one of the best restaurants I have been to in Austin. The ambience is perfect. The opportunity to sit outside during the winter in a warm heated spaces is unbelievable. The owners and staff are extremely nice. It was very nice to see food prepared the right way, and the taste was beyond expected. This is my new restaurant.

    There are not a lot of great choices in the Lakeway area, except Frog & The Bull. So glad we found this place. All the food was delicious, some of our favorites were the Queso Flameado, Brussels Sprouts, Osso Bucco, Langosta, and Churro Doughnuts. Service was on spot, we felt very well taken care of. Will be back, many times.

    Went for dinner last night to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Ordered drinks first, then tapas, followed by entrees. Drinks and tapas were tasty, but the spicy pineapple margarita was a bit too spicy. I love spicy margaritas, and am a huge fan of spicy food, but there should be a balance in flavor profile. The margarita was too heavy on the jalapeño. The tapas were incredible! We had bacon wrapped figs, ceviche, and garlic shrimp. All of which were delicious. After we finished tapas, they collected our plates and silver ware. My wife ordered lobster and I ordered the prime rib - medium rare. When it came out, the prime rib was severely undercooked. Blood was pooling on the steak - and they didn’t bring out new forks, so we had to wait a while to get forks. I found it strange that the outer layer of the prime rib was reasonably cooked, but the inside of the steak was still very raw. I understand that it was supposed to be a roasted prime rib, so the outside will get cooked, but if you’re going to serve a slice of that, wouldn’t you be able to see that it was still raw on the inside? On top of that, the the whole meal was around $150 plus a tip which brought it closer to $200. Honestly, the meal was not worth that much money.

    We came there to celebrate my wife's birthday just last night. The restaurant decor and atmosphere was great. We ended up just having appetizer and left. The appetizer was good, ceviche was fresh, bacon wrapped dates was ok, the bacon was too crispy for me. The tenderloin was very good, the meat was tender and very fresh. We ended up leaving and had dinner somewhere else, mostly due to the service. It was a busy evening and shortstaffed could be the issue. After we were seated, 15 mins later we have to ask for a service. After we ordered, tenderloin was served raw, and was just placed in our table, next to a hot plate and a rock. A minute later we realized that we were to cook the beef on the hot stoneourselves, no one explained this unique experience of the dish. I personally think this dish is unique with great selling point, as the hot stone idea is brilliant. Due to this, i wont be coming back.

    This was the second time we have been to Frog and Bull. I sure hope they make it! We need a restaurant like Frog and Bull in the area, however, the service was slow and they kept forgetting things we ordered. One meal was delivered cold and one other had a steak that was not medium rare as ordered but was well done, dry and tough to cut through. It was so loud we could hardly hear each other too. I hope they work out the bugs here because we want to like this restaurant! We will give it one more chance.
