What is a gastro pub?” Gastronomy is the study of preparing and consuming food. A pub is a neighborhood spot for affordable food and good times. When you combine the two you get a neighborhood spot with a focus on food prepared from scratch with fresh ingredients.

    Upon arrival, immediately greeted and seated. In a booth by the windows. Nice Immediately greeted by our server. Enjoyed a glass of wine first. The four of us ordered the F&T burger. Salad and onion ring sides. Perfectly cooked and wonderful! My husband ordered the crème brûlée. Wonderful as well. We truly enjoy dining at the Frog and Turtle. Great staff, great location, great food. Always excellent.

    I ordered the ribeye, but they ran out and so they served strip steak. I ordered medium. My friend ordered medium rare. Both were tough and chewy. Another friend ordered a cup of chowder and a chicken small plate. When the soup arrived it was in a 6” diameter bowl and I said “that’s a cup?” So when his meal arrived and it too was generous we assumed that was the policy. After serving the food, the waiter did not come back to see how everything was. It took me a while to flag him down to complain about my $43.00 steak. He said it was cooked perfectly and he could do nothing about it. When the bill came, my friend was charged for the full chicken plate and when he said something, the waiter replied “well, you ate it didn’t you?”. The waiter served it, how were we supposed to know??? Service was slow. We arrived at 530, another couple in our group 5:40, but we didn’t get our check untill almost 730. The waiter mostly ignored us. Table of 7, he was guaranteed a 20% tip automatically.

    The food was excellent. The service was mediocre at best. Trying to make eye contact with the server was very difficult. They were clearly not tuned in to the tables they were serving, and it does seem to be the norm for this restaurant. They were polite, just not attentive.

    Downstairs seating is loud. We prefer upstairs but it’s hot or miss when it’s open for seating. The bar tender and servers are fabulous, they make the wait for a table fun. We understand staffing issues but really would like to see that upstairs open more often on the weekend. Love you guys! Thanks for hosting our flag football brunches.
