Usually when I’m in a new town, I check Yelp to see which restaurants in my area have the highest reviews. And they have to be robust enough for me to take their ratings seriously (ex. A spot with 2 reviews that’s rated 5 stars vs. a place that has 4.5 stars and over 500 reviews. I’ll choose the spot with more reviews). Not only does Frog & Slim have almost 600 reviews, but they were rated over 4.5 stars, the photos of the dishes and the ambiance intrigued me. Then when I looked at the full menu, the drinks sounded so interesting and unique. I found myself already planning out my meal. I arrived on a Tuesday night and there was a good crowd but no wait. Since I was alone, I opted for the bar. And it was one of those lit up counters, very elegant. Kimberly greeted me right away and she was so warm & friendly. We hit it off right away. Then I asked for recommendations and settled on the rack of lamb with celery puree and asparagus. WOW 🤩 I had two cocktails that were delicious, loved them both, and the maple bread pudding was heavenly. You probably won’t have any leftovers - their potions are just the right size. If you have a healthy appetite, you may want to start with an appetizer. Two drinks, my entree, and dessert set me back about $120. There are entrees that cost a bit less, but I splurged on the drinks because there were a couple that were calling my name. And they didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to go back! I’m in Sacramento every few months and I’ll have to make sure to visit again. I also met the owner, Robert, during my meal. He checked in with everyone to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Overall the perfect dining experience. Cheers!
