Frog & Slim

Visited Frog & Slim for brunch and had such a great experience! We were served by Paul, who was amazing super attentive and friendly. We ordered the Turkish eggs, deviled eggs, and the croque madame. The cocktails were delicious! Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The Turkish eggs especially stood out, perfectly balanced and unique. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

We went for lunch today… oh my! The food was amazing & the service was spectacular. A+ across the board, including ambience! Food: We ordered the steak sandwich & Wagyu Burger. Words can’t describe how delicious & juicy these dishes were. We’ll be back soon for the dinner menu. We were greeted by the owner who took great care of us. The head chef also stopped by to speak… Absolute must try, if you’re in Sacramento!

Great restaurant with an amazing bar. Craft cocktails are great and we tried several starters, all great. Carpacio, mussels, deviled eggs. The olives were beautiful and meaty. For mains, we tried the octopus and the Halibut. Amazing! I thought the octopus was really unique with the sausage and it came as a whole coiled tentacle. Bartender makes a great whiskey sour.

My daughter and I share a birthday and what better way to celebrate is trying a new restaurant. She lives in Sacramento and picked frog and slim I really enjoyed their contemporary look and the coziness of the restaurant. She ordered truffle fries and I had salmon deviled eggs as an appetizer. Both were really good and had an excellent presentation. Our entrée later came out which was a dry aged ribeye and we split a caesar salad. Steak was cooked to Perfection and the Caesar salad wasn't overly sauced. We enjoyed our meal with a perfectly paired sparkling wine and rose. Definitely recommend coming to this establishment and have plans to try and come back for a brunch.

They would have received a 5 for atmosphere but it was a bit loud for my tastes. The food was great and not as expensive as you'd expect for such an upscale spot. Our waiter was off the hook good and had great wine knowledge. I ordered steak for the first time in a long time. I had it med rare to rare and it melted in my mouth. We were with a group of 6 and every dish had me wanting. I was not charged a corkage which was a nice surprise too.

I had a lovely brunch at this cafe. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with soft music playing in the background. I ordered their signature eggs Benedict and a herbal tea. Both were outstanding—eggs cooked perfectly, and the tea was aromatic and soothing. The staff was attentive and quick to serve. The place was spotless, and the decor was charming with a rustic touch. Prices were reasonable, and the portion sizes were generous. It’s a great spot for a weekend treat or a casual catch-up. I’ll definitely return to try more from their menu!

What a fantastic dining experience! The decor was modern and stylish, creating a chic yet cozy vibe. The menu had a wide selection of international dishes, and everything I ordered was flavorful and beautifully presented. The seafood pasta was cooked perfectly, and the dessert was divine. The staff was courteous and attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was lively but not noisy, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Prices were fair considering the quality. The overall experience was excellent, and I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu. A perfect spot for food lovers!

Ever since seeing the veggie lasagna with fresh pasta on the menu, I was very much looking forward to trying this place--as someone who makes his own pasta. But sadly, the food left a lot to be desired. The bruschetta came on a beautiful and delicious bread and I liked the twist of using baba gahnoush but the cherry tomatoes took away from freshness and melding of flavors you typically get with classic bruschetta. I originally ordered the beet salad but caught a glimpse of the wedge and changed my mind. I like my salad with light dressing but the ratio here was off. And once I cut into it, water from the wedge made it impossible to enjoy the dressing further. I was very excited for the marinated grapes as I make roasted grapes for a variety of things. There were two. I don't mind the small plate, high ticket cuisine but it has to deliver. The lasagna was definitely the best dish. The bechamel was rich but not overwhelming. If you like mushrooms, this is the dish for you. I think the sheets of pasta should have been thicker. I make mine paper thin for red sauce pasta but in a richer sauce, they can get lost a bit, which these did. But the pecorino crumble was TDF. How I break down my review: 1 Star - Never again. 2 Stars - Probably not, but maybe. 3 Stars - Would try again. Not sure I would recommend. 4 Stars - Very good, look forward to returning. 5 Stars - Amazing, top in its category. Om nom nom!

Took my significant other for her birthday dinner. I did some research and Frog and Slim was my choice. First let me say that the experience was fantastic from beginning to end. The space was very understated with music themed art on the wall. The menu was chock full of good looking choices, great looking meat and fish dishes with everything in between. We got the delicious truffle fries for an appetizer, very flavourful and crunchy begin our meal. My lovely companion got the braised lamb shank and I had the mussels and shrimp picatta pasta. Mine was chock full of seafood with a tasty sauce, delicious sauce. I tried the lamb shank amazing. I also had a great speciality bourbon cocktail which was also great. We ran into Slim at the restaurant, a most genial host and we let him know about our most enjoyable experience at his establishment. We will be back with our friends.

Honestly the only highlight of the evening were the two gentlemen that greeted us. One blonde and one brunette (I think he was Latin). They were very polite and welcoming, otherwise the rest of the evening was just miserable ‍. It started off decent but unfortunately, the service was horrendous and the food was incredibly bland. The deviled eggs were absolutely boring (so sad because I was excited about them), the carpaccio was blah, the steak (although happily cooked to temperature) was bland, the pork was obviously boiled and meh, the beet salad was okay, all the sides were just okay (although under-seasoned as well), and the crème brûlée was burnt. I don't mean to say that the sugar was well "burned"balanced, but too hotly burned and too quickly and therefore made to taste burnt and very badly. The worst part was the waitress, Alysha C. Not once did she check on us. Not once did she fill our water glasses. Not once did she fill our wine glasses. Not once did she ask how everything was, if we needed anything, etc. etc. etc. She didn't offer a decanter. She didn't clear our plates, but instead we constantly had to stack them up and place them to one side of the table and kindly the expediters and others would finally sometimes come and grab them. She was truly horrible. Her personality was not welcoming, warm, not warranted a tip whatsoever, but of course we left something begrudgingly. Due to her terrible service, we will NOT be returning and giving the kitchen another try (assuming that possibly it may have been an "off" night). Even if the food was incredible, terrible service ruins the entire time and I would rather have just decent food and phenomenal service than have amazing food and craptastic service any day! Thanks for ruining our experience Alysha and thanks for ensuring that we never return to Frog and Slim. I hope they realize how miserable you are and get rid of you. You weren't even busy to be so rude and terrible at your job.

We were recently really craving steaks. This was our second visit here. Again we had a great dining experience. As we walked in we were greeted by Robert. He is the Slim in Frog and Slim. He quickly seated us. Our server, Ashley did a great job of answering our questions and handling our order. We both started with the refreshing cucumber basil gimlet. Our appetizer of deviled eggs was delicious. Very smooth with a little smoked salmon and caviar on top. We love caviar, but these would be a great introduction to caviar. The flavors blended so well. The caviar was more like a subtle salty whisper. We both ordered ribeye steaks medium rare. They were perfect. Probably the best steaks we've had here in Sacramento. We share$ the bread pudding desert. This was accompanied by a splash of Port wine to enhance the flavors blended. We talked with Robert about how much we enjoyed our meal. He told us that Frog and Slim is one of the top 100 date night locations in the U.S. We hope many more accolades come their way.

A good spot downtown. It wasn't a busy Thursday early evening when we came here for dinner. I got the Cucumber Basil Gimlet, it was okay, sweeter than what I was expecting (and I like sweet drinks). We ordered the beef carpaccio which was good, but honestly I was expecting the plate to be covered as I have gotten elsewhere. For the main entrees, I ordered the Golden Beet Salad and it was pretty good, and again I was expecting a little more than how it was served. The Wagyu Burger was good, overly huge, a little overwhelming. Overall, food was okay, they are small portions (except the burger) so if you're hungry and expecting a decent fulfilling meal, you may have to order a couple of entrees to feel good. Nice ambience, clean, friendly service, music notes cutouts above the seat bench adds a nice touch.

Frog & Slim has a great Midtown location. The parking can be scarce though since it's a busy street. The inside is nice-to-casual with jazz themed decor. Their chandeliers are a pretty addition. There is indoor and outdoor seating plus a handful of seats at the bar. The service was good. We were greeted and seated right away. It was loud in there though, so it was hard to hear our soft-spoken server. The menu is limited but has some good options. The drink menu is fairly robust in comparison. We were there on a busy Friday night - graduation and Father's Day weekend, so we did have to wait awhile for our drinks. There was a bit of a lull between our appetizers and entrees as well. We all liked our drinks, however the entrees were hit or miss. The dry-aged ribeye tasted good but a little overcooked for my husband's preference. The sides - potato and green beans were a bit undercooked. I liked my pasta, but the mussels were a bit stronger in flavor than I liked. I set them aside and ate the shrimp instead. The portions were good sized. The desserts were delicious. I think you can't go wrong on the desserts here. They even brought us an extra house made truffle for my husband's birthday. Overall, I think our meal was fine, but the atmosphere wasn't quite what we were expecting. I also think enough of our party was on the fence about their entrees that I'm giving fewer stars than I usually would. I think we'd come back for a more casual dining experience and maybe try some different menu items next time.

We had dinner here with friends last night. I had a glass of the Bonny Doon Grenache ($13) and my wife had a glass of the Pedroncelli Rose ($14). We split a Golden Beet salad ($17) - it was a delicious though a little on the sparse side even if it had been for one person. We also split the Mussels and Shrimp picatta pasta ($36). This too, was flavorful and very delicious. However, our friends order the lasagna. We each tried a bite and found that it was bland with no seasoning. How do you make a lasagna with no tomatoes? I know every chef likes to put their own spin on a classic dish but come on! The decor was nice, and the place looked fairly well filled. Service was good. That said, it was bit disappointing for the price. We had just been to Los Angeles the weekend before. Why are Sacramento prices higher than there? All in all, a mixed experience for Frog & Slim.

Wait, these people are so friendly! I just stopped in to grab my to-go order but left feeling so energized by the staff interactions. I was there on a Friday evening and the place was packed. Jazz vibes. Reminded me of Nola a bit. Ok, now let's get to the food. The steak was perfect, as were my veggie sides. Excellent date nite spot!

My husband and I really enjoy coming here! The old-fashioned is one of our favorites and normally don't even like bourbon! However it was getting to the point that he'd order his and I'd drink it, so I decided I should just get my own! Last night we started with the bruschetta - OMG. The bread was perfection and the tomatoes divine! Hubs had the burger and truffle fries. Those fries.... More please!! I had the lasagna. It was tasty and came with a basic spinach salad that was the star of my plate in my opinion. We finished the evening with the espresso crème brûlée. It was okay - a little too much shell on top and too little custard for me to give it 5 stars. Our server, Janelle, is always a treat! Everyone helps out though, so we appreciate that! It was a pretty quiet night there, but we went early before the show at Music Circus.

Very clean establishment with welcoming service. The menu has great choices. For an appetizer we had the muscles. For dinner we had the Pork Shank and Ribeye. You cannot go wrong with either choice, very delicious and comfort food. For dessert we tried the popular espresso creme brulee. Def an espresso kick to it.

If you are looking for a place with nice ambience and service then this is a good choice. Although the food was good, I felt it was overpriced for what it was. I guess with the type of establishment it is and the pricing of the menu, I was expecting more. I felt the items on the menu were just average things you find anywhere else (for cheaper), nothing special. Again, the food was good and the ambience is great, but I think I was underwhelmed with my overall experience.

One of our favorite spots to spend a birthday. I dream about their pork shank and how flavorful it is. This place definitely makes you want to cozy up with a martini in hand. The vibes are great!

Frog & Slim is listed as one of several local participating restaurants that gives 10% off when you present your same-day tickets for Broadway On Tour or Broadway at Music Circus before or after the show. Dine-in food only, may not include alcohol, can't be combined with other offers or Happy Hour, recommend reservations. I tried one of their small bites at the California Restaurant Association's inaugural Paws, Pubs and Grubs event at the Sac Railroad Museum last November but didn't get to stop in for January's Dine Down Restaurant Week. Friday night reservations for 2 ahead of the Tina Turner musical at SAFE PAC, seated right away and had one server +1 shadowing. The jazzy supper club vibe was cool and more cozy than cramped. No Happy Hour menu that I saw. For drinks, Felicia got a glass of the rosé and I inquired about available mocktails. One was a sweet pomegranate-based mocktail, and another was a spicy mango-based drink. I picked the mango which was like a mangonada with tajin rim. Lenten Friday for me, but still a decent amount of veg/seafood options to try. For starters, we shared one order the Bruschetta and one order of the Deviled Eggs. Both of these were very refreshing and tasty. For main, we shared one order of the mussels and shrimp piccata pasta. Share plates were provided for the appetizers, the main was not able to be physically split before coming to the table. No new share plates brought out with the entree, other than a small bowl and spoon for the mussel shells. Service was great, very mindful of the timing since we had a show to get to. For that same reason, we did not have room/time for any dessert. Note that a 3% service fee is added to stated menu prices for all dine-in bills to help provide a livable wage and benefit for their team (not a gratuity). Two-stall restroom at the end of the hallway facing 16th Street was fine. The walk to/from the theater was also not too bad. We parked closer to the theater, but if you're strictly dining then I would suggest the East End Garage instead.

I've been to Frog & Slim twice and both times I left so satisfied. The restaurant has a moody vibe but still feels super welcoming. The staff has always been really kind and attentive without being over the top, which I appreciate. Both times I started with the deviled eggs and had the braised pork shank as my main. I can't lie, I might be obsessed. The deviled eggs are creamy and flavorful and the little bit of caviar on top adds something special without being too fancy. And the pork shank? Incredible. It's rich, fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. I almost wish it wasn't so good so I'd be tempted to try something new, but here I am... coming back for the same thing every time. Frog & Slim is definitely one of my go to spots in Sacramento now. It just hits every time.

Looking for a nice dining spot in Sacramento and my trusty Yelp never lets me down. Found Frog and Slim which was a reasonable drive from the hotel (where we had enjoyed a great meal the night before). Frog and slim was a hip little spot on a strip filled with night spots. I liked what we found. The room was a jazzy little place with good jazz playing in background while we enjoyed the Kobe Beef Carpaccio traditionally dressed with capers and arugula plus a unique creamy olive aoili. Next we split the golden beat salad with goat cheese and arugula with sweet dressing. The highlight was the seafood pasta with shrimp, mussels capers, shredded cheese and gremalotta. Delicious! The seafood was cooked perfectly and was full of flavors. Service was good with a decent wine selection. Go. You will enjoy it.

First ever visit was to celebrate a dear friend's birthday. Enjoyed the ambiance, our server was great, and the food and wine were quite tasty. Great place for a date night. Will definitely be going back. Located on corner of 16th and O Streets, there is metered street parking as well as a small (pay to park) lot behind the business(es). Parking will almost always be problematic downtown.

My daughter and I share a birthday and what better way to celebrate is trying a new restaurant. She lives in Sacramento and picked frog and slim I really enjoyed their contemporary look and the coziness of the restaurant. She ordered truffle fries and I had salmon deviled eggs as an appetizer. Both were really good and had an excellent presentation. Our entrée later came out which was a dry aged ribeye and we split a caesar salad. Steak was cooked to Perfection and the Caesar salad wasn't overly sauced. We enjoyed our meal with a perfectly paired sparkling wine and rose. Definitely recommend coming to this establishment and have plans to try and come back for a brunch.

Whew what to say. We came here Friday night with friends for dinner. I had a spiced pear sidecar which was amazing. I also ordered the Braised Pork Shank Braised Au Jus | Yukon Potato Mash | Chutney | Pea Shoots. Omg my food was so flavorful and the meat was tender I'm talking meat falling off the bone. Service was amazing as the waiter was aware of all the different food items and drinks and had the ability to explain different things like flavor or spice or the veggies coming from the garden. The ambiance of the reservation was nice. Can be date night or can be drinks with the girls any day of the week. Can't wait to come back

Had reservations, seated right away, had server Alysha, super attentive. Had the truffle fries, so good, ribeye steak and the chicken confit. Very delicious. Tyler the bartender had some delicious drinks, especially the cucumber basil gimlet. Would definitely go back.

Local Neighborhood vibes at this trendy Sacramento"Farm to Fork" spot Ambiance: Hip, funky Art Attire: casual +, cool Crowd: foodies, locals Age: all Food 8/10 Service: Server 1 2/10 Server 2 10/10 This is a pretty long walk from downtown but an easy Uber. It's in a cute neighborhood and has a we love locals, hip/trendy vibe. Place was packed. This is one of the strangest dining experiences I've had maybe ever. This was an important business dinner with two clients. There were four of us total. The booths are very small and not super comfortable. We had two people that were larger in size with us and they barely fit between the table and the wooden booth. Also, I saw it was set for six people, and four of us barely fit into the space. When I asked our first server if she recommended one of two wines from the wines by the glass list I was deciding between, she gave me a blank stare and said it's kind of like choosing between Budweiser and Bud Light. Huh? She did later admit she does not drink wine. Drinks, including wine, took a very long time to get to the table. Overall, this menu confused me. Every dish had something that threw me off. (Smoked cheese on the salad, etc) We visited a few weeks ago and I looked at today's menu and thought I would love every single thing on this menu so I think we just went during an off time for the menu vs my tastes. Like all the restaurants in Sacramento it is bacon forward. Which, of course, who doesn't love bacon? And had a beet salad. Two people in our group ordered the pasta dish. Two of us ordered the chicken confit, which sounded delicious. I must be right because it was 7 PM on Sunday, but the server came back and said that they were out of chicken so both of us switched to the pasta dish. Mussel and Shrimp Piccata Pasta (Prince Edward Island Mussels | Gulf Coast Shrimp | Shallots | Pecorino Cheese | Lemon Caper White Wine Sauce | Melody Tomato) This dish was delicious. Very creamy and full of deep umami/briney (it's not a word, I know!) flavors. we did all enjoy it thoroughly. At some point, our first server had enough of us ‍ (seriously we were not obnoxious) and pawned us off on a second server who ended up being fantastic, friendly and super attentive. I wish we had had him from the start.

My husband and I stopped by on a weeknight for his birthday. We ordered the heart of gold cocktail, mussels appetizer, the dry aged ribeye, the grilled octopus, the espresso creme brûlée, and got a free birthday chocolate truffle. Per recommendation, we got the mussels with extra garlic bread. The mussels were well cooked, not overdone at all. The leeks and onions were a wonderful textural addition. My only complaint was that it was a bit salty for my taste. The ribeye was really great, well cooked and paired well with the demiglace sauce. The octopus was also great. Good texture and good pairings with it. All in all, the entrees were well done, albeit a bit pricy for what they were. The espresso creme brûlée was the star of the show! Great texture, nice crust, and subtle espresso flavor that you definitely tasted, but weren't overwhelmed by. The chocolate truffle was not my favorite, a hair gritty texture-wise. Service is great. Everyone is so kind and attentive, and such great banter and recommendations. The restaurant itself is small but cute, kind of reminds me of restaurants in SF with a nice jazzy, music theme. The restaurant and bathrooms were immaculately clean. I'd definitely recommend this for a date night or dinner with a few friends. There are just enough options for variety in dishes, good cocktails, and great ambience + service.

Come for the Mango Mimosa, Stay for the Bread Pudding! SITREP Fellow GalPal Yelper Extraordinaire Mitzi A. took me - with her friends Grumpy & Happy - to check out Frog & Slim, a wonderful brunch spot along 16th Street on the border between Downtown & Midtown Sacramento. THE SETUP Beautiful interior that at once reminded me of a more *upscale* Fox & Goose (another popular weekend brunch spot in Downtown Sacramento), and indeed the prices did in fact reflect that fact. Always a good seating diversity when you have a choice between tables and booths. LE MENU Items tried and enjoyed: *Mango Mimosa - fresh mango puree with champagne! *Meat Charcuterie Board - included sausage, brisket, bacon, YUM! *Shrimp & Grits - seared shrimp on yummy, creamy grits *Class Turkey BLT *Classic Eggs Benedict - a wholesome twist on a beloved classic! *English Bread Pudding The service was on point and constantly attentive all throughout the meal. PARKING Fairly easy to find a spot along the block's metered curb in front of the restaurant and also around the block on the side lettered-streets. THE LOWDOWN A most excellent brunch spot! Perfect to bring your significant other to *bump up* from your usual weekend IHOP or Denny's forways, or to bring your family to for that good impression you want to leave them with!

Dinned at Frog & Slim for the first time on a Sunday evening date night. It was nice and quiet evening, and not very busy at this particular time. After arriving we checked in with the host, who promptly seated at a small table right at the beginning of the bar and kitchen area. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful and when asked, gave her personal opion on appetizers, drinks and main courses. She was also very attentive asked asked from time to time how we were enjoying our meals; even asking what drinks were our favorites from our selections throughout the evening. Drinks: Poached Pear Margarita (F&S Cocktail) Spiced Pear Sidecar (F&S Cocktail) Chenin Blanc, Apeture (White Wine) Sauvignon Blanc, Quivira (White Wine) Appetizers: Marinated olives Bruschetta Main Course: Grilled New York Muscles & Shrimp Piccata Pasta Dessert: Bread pudding Everything we order was really good, from the drinks to the appetizers, to our main dishes, and even desert. I really liked the Poached Pear Margarita which was made with handmade Pear puree, and surpringly also really liked the Spiced Pear Sidecar. The appetizers were also really delicious, especially the marinated olives. My muscles & Shrimp Piccata was nicely done as well. The only minor issue noted by my girlfriend was that the steak was a little fatty & gristely in some particular areas. It was cooked to her likely however, but the fatty areas weren't enjoyable like they can be in many cases. So she removed them. Overall: Delicious food, Great environment and decor, and friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely come back again.

What a wonderful experience! We ordered deviled eggs, charcuterie board, mussels and truffle fries to start and they were all spectacular. Then we had the pork shank, Halibut and Ribeye for our mains. Everything was top notch! Our waiter, Jack, was extremely delightful. The restaurant was located in a very nice area of Sacramento that none of us had ever been. It's nice getting out of your comfort zone sometimes and this was worth the trip

Jazz music welcomes you as soon as you sit down, and this place is very upscale and snazzy. The exposed industrial pipes on the ceiling matches the metal booth dividers, which have music notes carved into them, and the table, that have a painted metal look. They do have quite a few tables and booths for such a small staff. The hostess was polite and helpful and the wait staff was especially friendly. We came here for Sacramento's Dine Downtown week. We ordered the goat cheese croquettes, the wagyu lasagna, the linguine vongole (clams), and the baked zucchini bread. I found the meal good, but not amazing. The croquettes were very flavorful and served in a marinara sauce that could have been a little warmer, but again great flavor. The lasagna and linguine were both fine. I found them pretty basic. The meat in the lasagna did not taste like a special cut of meat but I guess what more can you do with ground beef? For a restaurant, with so much hype, I was a little let down. Everything was executed well, just nothing special. Same with the baked zucchini bread. Good flavor, a little sweet, baked well, not special.

I can't say enough about this place. It's just such a gem and Sacramento is lucky to have this very talented chefs vision brought to life in this city. The service is awesome! I always make a reservation on Open Table and am seated immediately. The wait staff is awesome! I have never had a bad experience with any of the waiters or waitresses. The drinks are perfection! I have tried almost all of them and they're crafted to perfection. They sort of take you away to whatever flavor they are crafted with. The food is amazing. The truffle fries with the most delicious aioli. Scrumptious deviled eggs are always a good start. The wedge salad is perfection and has ruined every other wedge salad for me. The dressing, Pop of grapes, nuts, crisp bacon and cheese are a texture heaven. Always order your dish with the creamiest mash potatoes that must be whipped in heaven. The carpaccio is another must!! It's simply perfection and just has to be had that's all there is to it. The flavor and crisp crostinis are just yummy. The ribeye is a favorite I always ask for the command butter on mine. You're welcome in advance! The mussels appetizer is so delicious. Which leads me to... Oh gosh how can I forget the mussel and shrimp pasta!! I nearly melted in my chair the first time I had it!!! My husband doesn't even like pasta and was blown away. The bread with it nearly started an argument as my husband dared to eat the last bite! lol this dish is so good it has it's own paragraph. I tried the brunch recently and it was also so yummy. I only have one regret and that's not allowing myself the French toast as a desert. Have no fear I'll be back. My friend got the biscuits and gravy which was a chipotle sauce I think which I am not a fan of anywhere so I didn't really like it. But the hot Brie plate was soooo yummy. The eggs Benedict with the house made sauce were such a treat. The music is always good and evenings are always lively! Definitely need to have my bday dinner here this year! Frog and Slim you are perfection!

This place is excellent!! Went for dinner on a Saturday night and it did not disappoint. The place was packed. Had reservations and only had to wait around 10-15 minutes to be seated. We started with the deviled eggs which were heavenly. We collectively ordered the scallops, rib eye and the veggie lasagna. Everything was amazing!! Wanted to try the desserts but I was just too full. Our server was very attentive which made the experience even better. Can't wait to go back and try something new!

Stopped in for brunch to celebrate a birthday. Location was clean with a great ambiance. Service was excellent, including the chef stopping by to see if we were happy. We started with the bread pudding, warm brie board and then to breakfast. All of the food was nicely presented and tasted fresh and delicious including the home made jams and bread. This is an excellent spot for brunch!

My husband and I came here for our anniversary and I have to commend the excellent service we got from start to finish! Shout out to Jack our server! Upon arriving we were greeted with a smile and felt so welcomed. Once we got settled in Jack asked if we wanted to started off with any drinks then gave us a breakdown of the menu must haves after. I got a non-alcoholic mango drink which would've been such a treat with alcohol and my husband got a Hennessy & coke. Jack was extremely knowledgeable about the menu items and informed us of where the food was locally sourced. This I love! And it also means they have a seasonal menu throughout the year. FYI, the new menu should be out by now which we want to come back and try! To start off we got the Fried Arancini. Then based on such convincing recommendation we chose the Braised Pork Shank and to have a balance with our whole meal since we were sharing I opted for the Chicken Confit. Oh my goodness... this the most exquisite dinner we've had in a while. Fried Arancini - Perfectly fried, risotto nicely cooked & seasoned (10/10) Braised Pork Shank - Succulent, fall off the bone tender, undeniable flavor (10/10) Chicken Confit - Wish the skin was more crispy, chicken was soft & juicy, cooked in confit (chef's kiss) (8/10) Our whole experience was outstanding. We've been bragging about this place to all our friends and family and can't wait to come back to try their new menu! Highly recommend coming here.

We came here for a friend's birthday. We made reservations and were taken to our table right away. We were table to order some shareable and our dishes we order was also yummy we had order some mix drinks and they was tasty. The restaurant has like a southern vibe and it was well decorated. There were a lot of people there so we was happy we had reservations.

Food and service is fantastic. Ambiance is nice. Everything tasted amazing. Parking can be a struggle.

Delicious food, gourmet even. Sat on the patio for brunch with my child and dogs, and it was lovely.

It's a standard New American place. The dishes we ordered were good but not amazing. The bruschetta was probably the worst, very bland and tomatoes were sour. The halibut was cooked quite well and the sweet potato was a great accompaniment. Service was quite accommodating to some requests on dishes. Not disappointed but wouldn't go back though as it doesn't stand out from numerous others.

The truffle fries were very tasty and delicious, and the chicken sandwich was good as well. The portions are more than enough. The place is small, but gets quite packed during dinner time. The prices could be lower.

Delayed review of Dine Downtown in January. The wagyu lasagna was really good, all the food here was amazing quality so I will definitely be back for their regular menu. The portions were generous, we definitely left full. The service was great and I like the theme of the restaurant.

Our first time at Frog and Slim and we were not disappointed. The place is medium sized with a cool Jazzy interior. Everyone here was having the New Years Eve dinner special which was a reasonable $135 pp plus $45 for a generous wine pairing. Our food was delicious with the Cioppino and Short Rib being our favorites. My only complaint would be the dessert was tasty but underwhelming. The staff was friendly and attentive. One of the owners, Robert aka Slim welcomed each table and even served food. We had a friend drop in to say HNY during dinner and Robert graciously brought her a bowl of soup to make her feel welcome. Bravo on the service Slim! It's not often we find people willing to go the extra mile to make patrons feel special.

Sooo I may have done a full wine tasting before I walked over to Frog & Slim to meet my friend for dinner. Everything about the experience was wonderful and upscale. Our waiter gave great recommendations, and we ended up splitting the Deviled Eggs, Mussels, and Steak. All that and the Dirty Martini I enjoyed makes me want to come back! It's been awesome experiencing Midtown Sacramento as an adult, and with restaurants like Frog & Slim, no wonder their neighborhood has a good reputation. Since I took rideshare, I can't speak to parking but reservations were easy to make online. Controversial amongst the locals I talked to, but I would personally recommend this place.

I've only been here once, my date took me here. It's kinda on the edge of downtown and didn't know this place existed. I like the cute cozy decor which reminds me of Europe or East village New York, good wine selection and good food and good dessert. I will definitely go back there!

This place is amazing, the food, the service the atmosphere is top tier. This is one of the best restaurants in the Sacramento area. Not a lot of places can compare to this spot. The are expensive but it is worth every single penny, dime, quarter and dollar. Gone go.

Good was good, service was better. Our server had a lot of information to share about the menu to guide our choices. We ended up getting the octopus and the rack of lamb. Food was good, not exceptional. My octopus had a denser texture than I'm used to. It was an odd color, too. I was expecting purplish arms with suckers, but nope. Odd. The frisse salad, olives, potatoes, and sausage were tasty though. I'd give it 3/5 stars. The rack of lamb had a lot more flavor and my hubby enjoyed it. We didn't enjoy either of our cocktails, but, kudos to the bar manager for having a. Relative cocktail menu. We might come back and give it snother try.

Update -- we returned to Frog & Slim to celebrate my birthday. We had a wonderful evening. Our server, Jack, is excellent and engaging. He had meal suggestions, and we chose the pork shank. It is out of this world! It's served on creamy mashed potatoes with a beautiful jus. The meat fell off the bone. I actually finished the entire meal. We shared the bread pudding and espresso flan, and topped it off with a hazelnut truffle (thank you, Jack!). A perfect way to celebrate another trip around the sun.

It was alright! They greeted us at the door with the name of the person who reserved our table, and they gave her a complimentary glass of rosé when they overheard us telling her happy birthday. The interior was nice as well. As for the food itself, the steak and burgers we ordered were overcooked (the steak I ordered had no pink in it at all when I asked for medium rare) and the miso butter the steak came with didn't add very much to the dish, honestly. (To the kitchen's credit, the steak was juicy and tender. If it wasn't, I probably would have deemed it unacceptable and sent it back.) After going to The Waterboy the weekend earlier and having an amazing steak there, Frog & Slim ended up being a bit underwhelming. I'd try it again to see if it was just an off day, but probably not anytime soon.

I ate at frog & slim for the first time and will definitely return! Starting with the server-- he was incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, and gave great recommendations. I ordered the beet salad and the muscles and both were awesome! The portion size for the muscles was excellent for a decent price too and the sauce they were cooked in was delicious. My partner did the dine downtown menu. The goat cheese croquettes were yummy in a great tomato sauce. He also got the lasagna and the only critique was that the portion was small. Overall really great spot, nice ambiance, tasty food. Will return

WOW! First time dining at Frog & Slim! Outside of the lack of greeting or acknowledgement from the male host upon arrival, it was fantastic. Not sure if maybe that was not his regular job, or he had been having a bad day...but he never said a word to us or even looked at us. Just lead us to our table and walked away. LOL. So bizarre. Looking at other reviews this seems to not be the norm. BUT besides that...it was fantastic! The rest of the staff, including our great food server (wish I would have gotten her name) was on point, friendly, knowledgeable and facilitated us having the best time. We had: Truffle fries 5/5 Deviled eggs 5/5 Prince Edward Island Mussels 5/5 Grilled Octopus 5/5 Halibut: 5/5 Cocktails ~ Brilliantly made ~ sooooo good. Look forward to going back when weather is warmer and sitting outside!

Brunch will never be the same after having a Breakfast Meat Charcuterie Board! From the savory crispy pork belly pieces, the thick cut bacon to the amazing Andouille Sausage, this is a great item to share with brunch pals! They have so many other other cool brunch items too - like brioche French toast, croque Madame, Sheimp & Grits, Eggs Benedict and more! Whether you want to treat yourself on the weekend or need a new spot to connect with friends, Frog & Slim has you covered!

Photos did upload the first time around. Repost to show the pictures. Yummy food and drinks!

Me and my wife went out with some friends to have dinner. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by staff and sat immediately. I ordered the frog & slim old fashioned and my wife ordered spiced pear sidecar. My wife loved her sidecar. I loved my old fashioned drink and the drink was delicious and balanced. My wife ordered the braised pork shank and I ordered shrimp piccata pasta. My wife loved her pork shank and the shank was fall off the bone. My pasta with the shrimp was delicious and very flavorful. The ambiance is customer friendly and a very nice environment. This is a very nice restaurant with exceptional customer service.

I cannot put into words the quality of this food. It's beautifully presented, the flavor is mind blowing and the hospitality is superb. The drinks are amazing and one of the owners is probably the nicest man, ever. The ambiance is very low key, but classic bougie. The avocado toast , the hot Brie platter and the meat platter were just incredible.

First visit our dinner before musical, Amazing service and our server was very helpful with recommendations from the menu Nice open dining area with bar also patio seating, started with a nice and spicy mango margarita and on the menu mussels and shrimp piccata pasta and braised pork shank great portions and delicious! Just save room for dessert Espresso crème brûlée Highly recommend and plan your reservation they do get busy. Parking small lot in back

Went here on a Friday night and was able to get a spot without much wait. First impressions, I liked the ambience. Glad they were showing nba finals, and had very attentive servers. The food here was good. Steak was well seasoned and flavorful. I was told that it was a wagyu breed not to far from Sacramento, so local and delicious. The pork shank was soft. Combined with the mash made it pretty good. The mussels were a disappointment however. I was told they were freshly delivered the day before, but tasted off. Not sure if it's due to the supplier, or how it was cleaned. Flavor from the broth was fine tho. Subtle light and good for bread dipping. Service was great! They took care of the mussels and left a great impression for my party. Overall had a good experience, and would recommend this place for a pleasant dining experience.
