Froggy's French Cafe

Froggys never disappoints! Wait staff excellent, Chef and kitchen excellent ... soups, appetizers, entrees are impeccable. Decor is eclectic !!!

The food was mediocre at bestThe service was atrocious. The meal expensive and the room oppressive, The menu is odd. Not a lot of what I'd consider standard French fare. No Moules Mernier, no steak frites. No salad Lyonnaise. Just weird. I think with the huge selection of dining in Highwood you'd work harder to keep patronage up. This restaurant looks, feels & tastes like it's on the way out

So disappointed with the food here. First I'll say I made a reservation for a table for 6 to celebrate my husbands birthday. The ambience was nice and we were seated right away but there were so many flies. It was annoying constantly trying to keep them from our food and table. The service was 5 star, our servers were lovely and made my husbands birthday special with a candle in his creme brûlée... now the food...Sadly everyone in our party was disappointed and we ordered a huge mix of menu items. We spent over $650 not including tip. The French onion soup was atrocious, we ordered 2, my friend was disgusted, tasted like sour lemon soup. Both of us didn't finish them and it's our absolute favorite soup to order but definitely NOT here. Awful. I regret not asking the waiter to it off the bill.My husband ordered veal and it was the strangest dish, literally looked like a goulash, couldn't tell what the meat was, awful again.The cheese plate was literally a pear cut into small slices with 5 tiny slices of cheese on it, more pear then cheese. Sadly all our guests were disappointed with the cuisine. Made me feel bad because I made the reservation. Would not come back here. It's a pity because the location and ambiance is great just the food isn't worth it.

The food was average, the price was outrageous and the portions were small. The escargot was with a pastry type item that was meh. The lamb chops were rough, the salad was tasteless and the espresso martini was an attempt to be trendy that fell short. The only reason I am giving two stars because the waiter was on it,m. It was 9pm on a weeknight and we were last ones out for a birthday dinner. Felt awkward and will not return. It was better in the early 2000s.

Came here twice while in town. Tried almost everything on the menu, loved all of it. Lamb was delicious, as well as the ratatouille.

Being a culinary graduate and having worked in kitchens before, the plating seems very messy and in-cohesive. The garnishes are sprawled out and carelessly placed. My partner and I both got pasta dishes and somehow I got more pasta on my plate than he did? The portions seem to not be controlled or fair considering the price. If we both get a pasta dish I expect it to be the same amount of pasta and plated well. Comparing the plating now to how it was when the place first opened, it seems to be going downhill/careless.

Ambiance - quite pleasant and host was friendly. Service, inattentive to be polite. No one greeted our table for at least 10-15 minutes to even ask for a drink. Things moved at a slow pace from then on and the only thing that arrived quickly was the bill. The food was average at best. The characteristic flavors of French food were nearly absent. Escargots sauce was bland and unimaginative. My sweetbreads were overcooked to the texture of chicken gizzards and the sauce was not complimentary. Other dishes at the table - charcuterie - was fine but again the pate Maison was rather flavorless and the crab cake special was just OK. The barramundi was nice but again, these folks seem to feel bland is better. Did I complain? No because the server never returned to ask how anything was... skip this place, its time may have come and gone.

Some aspects of our experience at Froggy's were very positive and other just so so. Reservation time was honored. After being seated and given menus, the waiter who was friendly and humorous did not mention the early bird special until one of our party asked about it. The mushroom soup was very good and flavorful although a bit too salty for some tastes. The chicken Provencale was mostly if not all dark meat and somewhat rubbery with unpleasant gristle. The whitefish was excellent with the same provencal sauce as the chicken, that added immensely to the fish. Desserts were varied and the poached pear was outstanding. There was no offer of additional drinks or coffee. Nevertheless, we did not feel rushed and the setting was relaxing and conversation friendly for a relatively small dining room. Our next visit will be one of ordering from the regular menu. Price was reasonable at $50./person considering the special, two drinks, and desert. Worth another visit.

I wish we were able to stay and have dinner; however, when we arrived I asked the gentleman that was seating us where the ladies room was. He indicated it was downstairs. Standing there with my walker, I asked where the elevator was. He informed me they didn't have one. WHAT?? NO ELEVATOR? We called our friends that were meeting us, turned around and walked out. How is this even allowed in 2024. They lost my business.

My favorite restaurant ever! Been coming here since it opened.Thierry's menu is amazing and service is impeccable.
