Froggy’s is usually always a 5 star experience. Unfortunately, this was an off night. It was very crowded, the service was less than typical and the food was just OK. This was Saturday night before Mother’s Day. We will definitely return but not on a holiday weekend.

Everything was wonderful from the moment the valet greeted us at the curb until we left. The bar area was a very quaint and welcoming area. The restaurant ambiance was beautiful with an array of lit up upside down umbrellas covering the ceilings. Our server Peter was awesome. Knew the menu as if he was the chef and made our stay very enjoyable. The special lamb Wellington and the special salmon were extremely well prepared and tasty. The plate presentation was worth photographing and the taste was superb. Peter recommended a very reasonably priced wine (all wines on the menu were reasonably priced). All in all, it was a wonderful experience and definitely on our LET’S GO BACK list.

The menu was not what we expected. We were not told about certain appetizers, after we ordered the table next to us were offered other appetizers when we asked about this we were told only certain waiter were offered these appetizers. Very disappointed with the wine list. Won’t be returning in the future.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent and I love the ambience. I took a friend to lunch for her birthday & we sat in the front, garden-like room. It was a cold day and they had the fireplace on. Just a lovely space. The lunch entrees included a salad & I thought were reasonably priced for the amount of food received. Always love going back.

We had wanted to try this restaurant for awhile. We came for my sisters special event she was in. I was extremely sad as when made a reservation & requested main dining room in back, they forgot to let us know it was closed for wine tasting!! We never would’ve come this night if we knew! :( We ended up sitting near the bar by a window. Was ok ambiance just since it is rare when we can all come out, wish knew as would’ve chosen a different night completely!! Apparently wine tasting is every 2-3 months & they close off room, wish was told when made reservation!! Food was excellent, just forgot to bring some appetizers we ordered, (seemed pre-occupied with wine tasting more than serving) dessert was amazing, just wanted full experience we have talked about for long time done right! Used to come years before and raved about but this time felt neglected. Took forever for waiter to come over to table, busboys great, but only 1 waiter!! Our onion soup was cold, salad asked for dressing on side-but drenched it all over everyone’s and forgot about our wine orders. By time got wine, our dinner was over:( At the end, we met chef, and other gentleman at bar after who were nice. Just wished they invited us back for complimentary dinner, or something to fix issue and could all enjoy the way had hoped for in future like was in past experiences! Was a shame as not how we remembered..

Froggys used to be our go to place for celebrations and nice occasions, but last weekend the food wasn’t quite even mediocre. The atmosphere was nice, but the food was so much worse than in the past that we’ll find a new place for future occasions. At this price point there are plenty of other options.

The Valentine's Day prix fixe menu was nice. It was creative and varied enough to please most. The price was reasonable. The cocktails were delicious. The waitstaff was welcoming and attentive. I like this restaurant. We have dined here before about three years ago. We like it then, but this visit was by far better because of a different energy.

Took my wife here for Valentine's Day 2022. We were not disappointed. Both my wife and I love French food, and Froggy's delivers. Food was amazing and service was impeccable. We started with Ahi tuna and the snapper ceviche. I am a foie gras fanatic, so we had to have that also. The portion was pleasantly large. My wife had the lamb chops and I had the sweetbreads. Both were outstanding. We will definitely be back to Froggy's. P.S.-They have valet parking, which is really good. Parking in Highwood is impossible..
