    I recently visited Frog & Slim to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. We began the evening with drinks and shared the Golden Beet Salad, which was a refreshing and vibrant start to the meal. For the main course, I had the Braised Pork Shank. This was easily the highlight of my night. The meat was incredibly tender literally falling off the bone and full of flavor. My friend ordered The Dry-Aged Ribeye. We shared the Bread Pudding, which was the perfect comfort-food finish. A huge thank you to the staff for the complimentary birthday truffle to close out the night. The service was both fast and incredibly friendly. Street metered parking in the area and I believe it's free after a certain hour.

    Parked at the East End Garage and it was an easy walk. Dine Downtown 2026 menu, bar seating party of 2 with my foodie Elite friend Judi. I started with the soup while she had the hush puppies; we both ordered the steak sirloin for second course, I had the carrot cake dessert and she had the bananas foster bread pudding. For my birthday they provided a complimentary chocolate truffle and little candle. I also got the mango mocktail which I have had once before, did not disappoint. The portions were not super huge, but for a 3-course meal they were just right. Love the jazzy vibe.

    Def a 3.5 Stars but not enough to be a 4 Came here for the Valentine's Day preset menu at 135$/person. Was honestly not wowed by the food for the price. Waitress was attentive, sweet, and hospitable. Service itself was not once an issue. Blini was yum. One bite and it was gone ! Not enough for me to analyze the flavors blini itself was cooked fresh which I greatly appreciated. Steak tartare could've used a bit more salt. Would've really appreciated if the cornichon was cut up and mixed into the tartare. Loved the grilled lime on top. Huge citrus fan here. Bisque was all heavy cream. This one was a hugeeee miss for me. The abundance of peppercorns were way too strong and overtook any flavors from the soup. Literally had to avoid the peppercorns to drink the soup. Filet came rare despite ordering medium rare. Notified the manager/owner and they took care of it immediately. Second time it came with a better sear and was cooked to my liking; though my crab topping was wiped off rip, that so good. Pommes purée and Bernaise came cold.... I'm not sure if that was intentional but I personally like my food hot. Asparagus was actually seasoned to perfection and just dripping in butter yum ! Downside was that it was very very overcooked. Could've swallowed the whole thing without chewing lol. Overall service was amazing. Dessert was delectable (how can you go wrong with sugar). But not wowed by the food for the price. For 135$ I was expecting more refinement and for all dishes to be nailed to a T.

    Potato & Leek Soup and Crab & Corn Hush Puppies (Dine Downtown 2026)

    Finally got to Frog & Slim for a first visit, just under the wire to squeeze in Dine Downtown 2026! Received a warm welcome from the hostess and presumably the owner/manager(?) and were seated right away. I was a little put off to have been left waiting for attention from our waiter until after they attended to two other tables that were seated after us, but whatever. The wait wasn't excessive... The place is groovy all around ~ kind of an upscale music-inspired diner vibe going on. I dug it. Their colorful under-lit bar counter is beautiful. He had an Old Fashioned and I had a cognac French 75. We're here for the classic fancy cocktails! We ordered one of everything on the Dine Downtown menu except the salmon. All good, some better than others. I particularly enjoyed the creamy potato and leek soup and the carrot cake. He got the pan-seared sirloin and it was quite good. I got the Meyer lemon fettuccine, which was delicious even though it seemed lacking in lemon flavor and the toast was a little too blackened for my liking. But the generous portion was enough for me to enjoy a second time for lunch the next day. I'll gladly return to this joint.

    We love Frog & Slim. We went there to celebrate my birthday and we had the best time. The service is the greatest. Our server Ashley is attentive and engaging. Robert, the owner, came by to chat, as did the bartender (who, BTW, makes a great Sazerac). We each ordered the braised pork shank (I'd been dreaming about it since my last birthday), and it was every bit as good as I remembered it. The bed of mashed potatoes is heavenly. Ashley brought me a birthday truffle, and we shared the delicious bread pudding. We enjoy the comfort, music, and artwork. The backbar is lovely. Guess where we're going to dinner n my next birthday!

    Classic Egg Benedict
    Carina H.

    I had brunch at Frog & Slim and it certainly didn't disappoint. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict and it was pretty decent for an eggs benedict. It was the perfect portion size for brunch though! My friend went with the artichoke & cauliflower sandwich, and after stealing a bite, I can confirm it was so flavorful. It came with shoestring fries which is always a win. For a Saturday afternoon, it didn't feel too busy, and the staff were super friendly and attentive throughout. A great spot for a relaxed brunch in Sacramento.

    Chicken pasta
    Stephanie S.

    We visited Frog and Slim for the Dine Downtown promotion where you get an entree, main and dessert for $45. Overall the experience was decent but not good enough to go back. We had a party of 6 and were seated in a booth shoulder to shoulder (we booked 10 days in advance). We are average to smaller sized people, a party of 6 large people would not have fit. There were only two menus on the table - one regular and one for Dine Downtown. I ordered the hush puppies (sauce was tasty and the hush puppies had a good amount of crab inside so they had a nice crab flavor). For main I had the pasta. The bread was a generous size and had a great texture. The pasta (house made) had a good texture and bite. The cream was a little bland. The chicken breast on top was a good side but a little dry. The bananas Foster was disappointing. There was only a small amount of banana and cream on top. The pudding was dry and it was slightly warm making it taste even more dense and it was bland. Our server was friendly. Overall, we had a nice night out and I'm glad we got to try this restaurant.

    Lovely place. Food was excellent. Cute bar with great cocktails. We had a party of 6 that turned into 8 so we waited at the bar while they accommodated us. Total bill was about $100/person including drinks and appetizers. Highly recommend the ribeye. It was their only steak, so despite it not being my favorite cut (due to the fat content), it was quite enjoyable. Lamb chops were great. Cooked perfectly.

    Dry-Aged Ribeye

    It's rare these days to get out for a nice dinner so I was really excited to check out Frog & Slim for a date night. From start to finish, I really enjoyed the dinner experience. I went here on a Friday night, no reservation but I was able to snag a couple of spots at the bar where we were sat at immediately. Atmosphere was casual but classy. Host was attentive to us and being at the bar got us access to some tasty drinks rather quick. Overall was really impressed with the service and how quick our food came out. Everything we got was delicious. Of the appetizers, the creole arancini was amazing. I loved the heat of creole spice. I had the dry aged ribeye while my date went with the braised pork shank. Both courses meant business. Food was cooked to perfection and we both had plenty to take home. Our waiter suggested frying up an egg and eating it with the pork shank which we did the next day. Thank you for the suggestion! Dessert to cap the night was not an option. We went with the pumpkin crème brûlée because it's that season! Being the chocolate fein I am, I got the truffles. A great cap to a delicious Evening. I really look forward to returning to Frog & Slim!

    Such a nice 'Supper Club'. The food was delicious. Location and parking are convenient Service was good. Craft cocktails, nice wine selection, limited beer options. Photo's are of lamb dish, waygu burger, ribeye dish, and bread pudding dessert.

    Carrot cake
    Lily M.

    Went for this years dine downtown. Was very busy and parking was insane even so the greeter was kind and we were seated only a couple minutes after our reservation. They seemed a bit short staffed and rushed but everyone was still very kind. First course was the hush puppies and soup. My friends loved the soup they said the flavor and texture were great! I had the hush puppies and the flavor was good but they were a bit dry. Second course was the salmon for me an wow it was soooo good!! Combo with the beans and sauce I loved it! My friends liked their dishes as well. I should have gotten the bread pudding for dessert. Wasn't expecting the raisins in the carrot cake which I didn't love but the frosting was SO GOOD! Overall was a fun experience and a beautiful spot. Get here early for parking For sure!

    Espresso martini and the Easter pastry charcuterie board.
    Trina J.

    I love this restaurant. I went here for the Easter brunch special and it was delicious. The special menu was so well made and the ingredients were fresh. The service is always amazing. My second espresso martini glass had a crack in it and the servers didn't notice it. When I brought it to her attention she immediately apologized and offered me another but I just requested a new glass. Management did remove the charge from my bill. The ambiance is a grown and mature vibe, this is not a sports bar. The owner is very nice and friendly, that goes for all the staff. They have the best espresso martinis in the city.

    Dine in Sacramento!! We sat at the bar and that was fun the bartender was great! The appetizers, hush puppies and soup were good, the entree - salmon, sirloin and chicken fettuccine were all great too. The dessert - the carrot cake was dry but the warm pudding was great. Overall, great dinner and the restaurant was packed so nice to see people out enjoying a Sunday evening dinner. The restaurant is clean and has a great vibe!

This is the entrance to the speakeasy. In prior years the club was open only to members but it is now open to the public. Ambiance: I visited post New Years so they still had some holiday decorations up but really enjoyed the upper class feel. It really doesn't feel like any of the speakeasies I have been to before as it was much brighter and more open space but enjoyed it nonetheless. Food/Drinks: I strictly stayed with Espresso Martinis but they were prepared pretty well. The flatbreads also tasted amazing! They also had a list of different holiday themed drinks for those inclined for some holiday cheer. Service: The service here was super quick. The server came to our table so we did not have to head over to the bar. They came a couple of times to check on us but were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the drink options! Definitely worth a check out if you are looking for a friendly public speaker easy.

It seems like they're limiting how many people are let in at once, and honestly, I'm here for that kind of crowd control. We showed up at perfect timing and scored the cozy spot right by the fireplace. Total win. My friends and I ordered The Clausmo while my guy got the Turtledove. We also all tried the shooters, I had the Nesbitt, and he got the Perry. Every drink was delicious, no complaints from any of us. The lady helping us with our order was super sweet, patient, and friendly, and the guy who seated us deserves a shoutout too. There was a small mix-up, but he made it right and got us that perfect fireplace seating. Gold star service. Overall, I'd rate the experience a solid 9 out of 10. And can we talk about the bathroom for a sec? A black toilet paired with deep green walls? Obsessed. Trophy Club is absolutely becoming one of my favorite spots. Now I just need to check it out when it's not in theme mode... but let's be honest, I live for the theme nights.

I remember from the video they said this was considered a "bartenders bar",the kind of spot that that bartenders and workers in the industry would hangout after their shifts-I liked the sound of that. Walking up to where I thought the bar was located,it was kinda funny because it was just an innocent looking blue door with the words "Cocktail" along the side-doesn't look like much at all,I'd imagine I've walked by this place many times without thinking of ever going in-that was changing this time. When I walked in I 100% knew I was stumbling upon something special-it was a tiny place but it was overflowing with energy,not many booths in this bar and it may be the smallest bar I've ever been to but it felt special.Looking at the clientele I felt like I was with my people,it was so cool in there.This is the kind of place I would take my wife and any of my friends before a special night out and be it a dinner or a concert or a production at Safe Performing Arts Center and feel like it would set the right vibe for the night. Looking over the menu,they had some very interesting looking drinks,the wife went with a French 75($12.00)and I went with a Pecan Brown Sugar Old Fashioned($16.00)The bartenders are very friendly and super personable and really took their time and took pride in their drinks-I had never had an Old Fashioned quite like that one,but it went down super smooth-I loved i-I look forward to going there again asap. A coupe of things about this bar-they do only have 1 unisex bathroom,it was very clean.Also this place is so old school that they are a "Cash-Only " bar.They do have an atm in the bar in case you forget your cash.They have a big fish tank behind the bar that really put the room together nicely-I liked it a lot. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Ice Blocks part of midtown and want to experience an awesome bar that feels very unique-head on down to Frank and have a drink or two-you won't regret it-I think I may have found my new favorite bar in all of Sacramento. PS-I loved talking to the bartender telling me how they don't carry Don Julio but have many varieties of Fortaleza instead-a true IYKYK moment if there ever was one-this place rocks.

Yes, lady--we can read, and I hope your boss can too, because you were an embarrassment to the establishment! We didn't ask for the teenage insecurity and projection...we only wanted a drink.

They have a great selection of gin, rum, champagne, and whiskey, and I often lean on the staff for drink suggestions because they're really good at recommending something you might not normally order. A few times now they've pointed me toward a drink that ended up being a hidden gem. I've been here a few times and it's always a great time whether you're catching up with friends or doing a date night. The food is also surprisingly good and pairs well with the cocktails. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that's part of the experience. Also, because the space is small and intimate, reservations fill up quickly and they do require a deposit, which goes toward your final bill. Helpful tip: make a reservation ahead of time and don't be afraid to ask the staff for drink recommendations -- they're excellent at guiding you to something special. Final verdict: absolutely worth it.

The restaurant is quite small inside with very limited seating, but the outdoor patio is beautiful. Be ready to likely sit outside, but enjoy the atmosphere. We started with the mezcal old fashioned and the cucumber jalapeño margarita. The mezcal old fashioned was a delicious smoky twist on the classic cocktail. The cucumber jalapeño margarita was refreshing, though a little sweeter than I expected and missing the spicy kick I was hoping for. The guacamole was fresh and tasty, but the portion was quite small and barely enough for two people in my opinion. The salsa was also small but it was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken tacos were excellent, with tender chicken that was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The enmoladas were also fantastic and are a great way to sample Oaxaca's three unique mole sauces, each with its own distinct character. One thing to note is that the chicken filling is intentionally prepared very simply in traditional Oaxacan cuisine so that the mole remains the star of the dish. If you prefer heavily seasoned meat, this dish may be milder than what you are used to. Overall, everything we tried was delicious and offered a wonderful taste of authentic Oaxacan flavors. Our meal for two included one cocktail each, chips and guacamole, three chicken tacos, and three enmoladas, and came to about $100 with tip.

There seems to be a lot more seating outside though. - Our server was nice and patient as we took some time to look over the menu. SORT OF ABOUT THE FOOD: - They have a happy hour menu Mon-Fri 3p-6p; check out the other Yelp pics bc I didn't snap a pic myself. - The entrees don't come with rice & beans nor anything else. what you see on the menu is what you get. as such, the entrees are not terribly filling. they really should just slop on some rice & beans so they can be sure that you leave feeling full. THE FOOD AND DRINK: - Classic Mezcal Margarita: this was a fine, properly made cocktail. None of that nasty "margarita mix" here. $9 on happy hour. woo! - Guacamole: umm.. disappointing... rather bland; though, not diluted with sour cream or anything like that.. just kinda tasted like mashed up avocados.. there was a sprinkling of some red powder on top that I couldn't taste.. I didn't taste teh mint, basil, nor jalapeno that's described on the menu. It also came out refrigerator-cold, so that kinda muted the flavors as well. But I let it sit out throughout my meal to try it after it had "warmed" up a bit, but alas... still bland.. it was served with some salsa as well, which was quite nice. - Enmoladas: this is a trio of chicken enchiladas with each of their 3 moles: red, yellow, and black. The red and black mole were great; the yellow was kinda bland (at least, in comparison). Unfortunately, the chicken in my enchiladas was super bland. It tasted like there was zero seasoning & that they just poached it? And, the pieces of chicken were pretty thick too, which accentuated the blandness... so, I kinda mashed it up as I went along so I could get that delicious mole flavor mixed in with the chicken. - Tlayuda: this is kinda like tostada. it was okay. not great; not terrible. just fine. it ate kinda dry... like it needed some sauce... and, some spice would've been nice as well. this one will not really fill you up; it's more of an appetizer. - Kid's cheese quesadilla: this thing is pretty small; it uses the same tortillas as the tacos, so it's not very big/filling at all, but at least it comes with beans and rice. so, while I loved the margarita and the mole, there was a fair amount of disappointment along the way. perhaps, I'll stop by again if I'm in the neighborhood & would like a nice mezcal or tequila-based cocktail and a small bite to eat, but I'll think twice about having a full dinner.

    Great vibe. You grill your own food, meats were ok. Table service was poor. They took the food…read moreorder, dropped off your meat, walked away, and never checked back in for drinks or water.

    Butterscotch Den was such a fun stop for cocktails, and everything we tried felt really well…read morethought out. We got to try the Den Old Fashioned, the Pink Pepper Club, and an espresso martini-ish drink, and yummmm. The Den Old Fashioned was really good and nicely balanced. I am not usually a fan of green chartreuse, but it is blended in a way that does not overpower the drink, which I really appreciated. The Pink Pepper Club was probably my favorite of the three. It is perfectly refreshing with that dry grapefruit profile, and it doesn't lean too sweet, which makes it super easy to sip. And the espresso martini was exactly how I like it. Not sweet, not overly milky, just clean, strong, and very drinkable. Delish. The atmosphere is also a standout. It feels like you are transported somewhere else the moment you walk in. It has a classic, old, moody vibe that makes the whole experience feel a bit more special and great date night spot. The bartenders were kind and helpful as well. Overall, everything felt intentional and well executed, and it is definitely a spot I would go back to for another round of cocktails.
