Very lovely Valentine’s Day experience. Service was great and I loved the Poached Pear Margarita. Bittersweet was an interesting cocktail… definitely order to experience something new. My boyfriend was obsessed with the asparagus veloutè. Thanks F&S!

Our waiter was fabulous and we really appreciated his candor and feedback on the dishes. The food was absolutely delicious! The steak portion was a great value, the octopus was incredibly tender, and the pork shank was definitely the star of the show. We had a group of 5 and the staff were attentive and timed everything perfectly. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent. while you could hear others converse (even in a fairly small space) you couldn't really HEAR anyone. the music and ambiance were perfect, and back and front of house were both perfectly on point. 12 out of 10, would eat here again and again.

This was our second trip to Frog and Slim. The vibe here is so cool, and the food/drink is always on point. But the kicker is the staff.... So personable and professional. All of this combined is why we will come back many more times.

Nice vibe. Great food and drinks. Was a bit cold inside, if it was a little warmer it would have matched the vibe a bit better. Would certainly go back.
