    This is one of our faves in Sacramento. They never disappoint. The halibut was exceptional and my husband loves the lamb here every time. We are lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in Sac with great food, friendly service and such a cool vibe.

    This is my third time dining at Frog & Slim and it did not disappoint. Janelle provided excellent service, was very knowledgeable about all the menu items, and attentive without hovering. My friends and I ordered different items (deviled eggs, bruschetta, braised pork shank, artisan lasagne, wagyu burger, pumpkin spice crème brûlée, bread pudding) and everything was delicious. The stand outs for me were the bruschetta with the toasted rye bread and the bread pudding. I will definitely be back!

    This Sunday brunch was one of the more enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the welcome at the door when we arrived to our chat with the owners, as we left, the service was exceptionally personal and professional at the same time. We felt welcomed and valued as guests. The food was absolutely incredible! I felt encouraged to try different things I was rewarded with delicious experiences. I WILL definitely become a regular. Mad props to the entire crew for making this kid (senior OG) from the wrong side of the tracks feel special.
