Last night was our anniversary and we decided to try out Frog & Slim to celebrate and boy did we make a great choice! The ambiance was beautiful dark, cozy, smooth jazz playing and just a nice atmosphere all around. The service was 10/10 as first time visitors all of our questions were answered, we were checked on not only by our server Ashley but also by others. They gave wonderful recommendations and made sure all of our needs were met. The food was outstanding! We tried the delveed eggs that are truly unique and delicious, "Sacramentos best burger" which my husband felt it was pretty top tier, and I had the dry aged ribeye and it was mouth watering. We also had one mocktal and one cocktail both also delicious. We will for sure be back! read more

Our first trip to Frog & Slim and we give it a very strong 4, with room to grow. My wife had an Under the Mango Tree cocktail and loved it. She likes a little spice so she had jalapeños added, which turned out to be a great complement to the drink. For lunch we had the prime rib hash and the shakshuka. My wife really enjoys shakshuka, but finds it relatively hard to find. She said the dish was "awesome". This was my first "hash". Though I enjoyed it, my one critique was too many pieces of fat. I appreciate cooking any steak with the fat as It definitely adds flavor, but no one wants to bite into pieces of just fat. My recommendation...cook it with the fat, but trim the fat before you dice it to add to the hash. Service was exceptional. We were greeted by Phillip, who was very personable, and he brought us water and drinks. Our server was Felicia. She was very friendly, upbeat, cheery, and made us feel very welcome. The bartender brought out the second cocktail and he was very friendly. He makes a superb cocktail. The staff did a wonderful job! We plan to return to try some of their other dishes. read more

Very nice date/afterwork upscale dinner spot. Prices reflect that moniker haha. Food was fresh, staff were very nice, those booths though, they are not designed for the thick'ems. If I return, I would get a table instead. Would encourage checking them out. They have a rotating seasonal menu. read more

I loved the vibes at Frog & Slim. Such an elegant place with dim lighting and natural light. Although we dined inside I noticed there was outside seating. Cocktails first of course as we celebrated a birthday followed by delicious food. I couldn't decide and asked the server for her recommendation. I had 3 things on the menu I wanted to try... and ended up order what the server recommended. Wasn't disappointed. Good size portions although I took half home. Great place for lunch or dinner. I'll have to come back and try the other dishes! read more

Yesterday was my husband's birthday! I was thrilled that he chose Frog & Slim, because, as you know by now, it's my favorite restaurant. My new favorite bartender makes a great Sazerac. Ok, our second ones were also delicious. My new favorite server, Janelle, really knows her stuff. She's attentive, engaging, and "tells us the truth and brings us food," which is our family's highest honor. I had the Caesar salad and charcuterie. Excellent, and I had plenty to take home for today's lunch. My husband had the chicken. He recommends it, and had enough left over for today's lunch. We always love the music and the vibe. I'm not sure that I want to wait until my birthday to go back. Brunch? A cocktail and dessert? We'll see. read more

Ate here again recently and can still confirm, burgers are still on point. One of our go to date night spots, and top places to eat before catching a musical/show, service is quick and courteous, food is excellent, and drinks are superb. The only downside is that parking around here can be a bit of a mess, and prices are getting more and more expensive. Overall, still one of the regular spots I'll continue to eat at and recommend. read more

Frog & Slim is definitely worth a visit if you're in Sacramento! We parked on the street about a block away, which wasn't a bad walk at all. We went on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was pretty busy, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. From the appetizers to the entrées and dessert, every dish was absolutely delicious. We especially loved the bruschetta and the Kobe beef carpaccio. The deviled eggs were also a great starter. For our entrées, the ribeye was cooked perfectly and incredibly flavorful, and the Wagyu burger was just as tasty. We wrapped up the meal with the bread pudding and crème brûlée, and both desserts were the perfect sweet ending to an amazing dinner. read more

Never a negative thing to say about visiting Robert (owner) and enjoying what they are creating each season. Kimberly has been my server multiple times and she is just so darling to talk with and well educated about the menu, both wine and food. Never a bad bite or a negative experience. Love sitting on the outdoor patio and enjoying the evening cool down while drinking a chilled white. read more

I finally had the chance to check out Frog & Slim on Friday night for dinner! Located in Midtown on K Street -- the inside was small and intimate. To start we ordered the Peach Fizz, Cucumber Basil Gimlet and Truffle Fries to share. The drinks were great and refreshing and the fries were perfectly crispy - the garlic aioli tied it all together. We were hungry so we each ordered an entree which we later learned was a mistake - we should have just shared 1 or 2 entrees because it was a lot of food. We ordered the Braised Pork Shank, Dry-Aged Ribeye and Chicken Confit -- we also shared a Caesar Salad. Everything was plated beautifully and I enjoyed my Ribeye, but we all thought the entrees were a little under seasoned for our liking. We didn't send anything back, but we did unfortunately have to ask for salt and pepper. Our server was very apologetic and even comped us a free dessert which she did not need to do, but we greatly appreciated it. It was the bread pudding and it was so good! Overall, I enjoyed the meal. I wasn't blown away by anything, but it was a good meal and I would definitely come back and give them another chance. Our server was wonderful too and she more than made up for the whole experience! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is a small intimate restaurant that has huge flavor. I had the Smokey beekeeper cocktail and shared the bruschetta for a starter. The cocktail was Smokey in the best way with tart and sweet flavor delicious. The bruschetta was served on marbled rye and again delicious. The salmon with corn succotash and crispy smashed potatoes was perfect. How they got the salmon so crispy and kept the inside at medium temperature and juicy is a mystery. Dessert was bread pudding with maple cream sauce it was a perfect ending to my meal. I will be back. Service was impeccable . read more

If you want a wonderful dining experience in Sacramento, check out Frog & Slim. We've been there three times now and each time the food has been wonderful and staff fantastic. On our most recent visit, we both enjoyed the pork shank, which was so tender it practically fell off the bone. Just a fabulous main course. We started off with an appetizer of mussels that were bathed in tasty white wine sauce, and ended it with the creme brulee and chocolate truffles. A nice wine menu helps compliment the meal. Staff, as always, was friendly, fun and incredibly attentive. One of our "go tos" when we want to have a really nice night out on the town. read more

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. read more

We visited Frog & Slim for Mother's Day and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The food was excellent -- thoughtfully prepared, well-executed, and the unique menu clearly reflected the creativity and skill of the chef. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and memorable, and the quality of the food was easily the highlight of the evening. That said, given the restaurant's reputation and price point, we expected a more elevated dining atmosphere. The seating consisted of simple bench-style arrangements that felt more casual than anticipated, and the smaller layout made the restaurant quite loud and crowded during peak hours. Since every table was full for the holiday, conversations carried easily throughout the space, and the lack of high-backed seating offered very little privacy between tables. We had also anticipated a slightly more upscale ambiance overall. My girlfriend and I dressed for what we expected would be a fine dining experience, but the atmosphere leaned much more casual, with many guests dressed in jeans and T-shirts. Of course, this is more of an observation than a criticism, but it did contribute to the experience feeling less refined than expected. In the end, the outstanding food ultimately made up for many of the atmosphere-related shortcomings. While the ambiance did not fully align with our expectations for such a highly rated restaurant, the quality of the cuisine absolutely stood out and is what we will remember most. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

I was expecting more. The food we received wasn't very flavorful and the place wasn't as aesthetic as some pictures made it seem .

One of my favorite dinner spots in Sacramento. Every time I've been here the staff has been extremely friendly and the food/drinks are always 10/10. It is a bit on the pricey side, but perfect for a special occasion! Super cute and cozy inside, and when it's nice out there is a decent size patio. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Dinner at Frog and Slim is a great way to start 2026 and amazing place to celebrate a year of being married. You will need to arrive a little early as there is no dedicated parking. Finding parking on 16th street can turn in 10 minutes of going in circles. But if you're lucky you can park in a stall located directly behind the restaurant underneath the apartments. Once the doors open to the restaurant you are greeted with some nice jazz and cozy decor. The staff are friendly and the service is GREAT! Although, our waiter didn't give a great breakdown of the menu as our neighboring table they were tentative and patient. The food is five star! We order the olives and deviled eggs. Not your traditional southern style deviled eggs but still delicious. I enjoyed a smooth old fashion. My wife loved the cucumber basil Gimlet. We decided to share Frog and Slim salad and the chicken confit. The salad was huge. The chicken confit was tender and the sauce was yummy. It paired great with the wedge salad. Overall, we enjoyed our anniversary date a Frog and Slim. I hope to see it grow and add live music. That would be a nice touch! Next time I want to try the rack of Lamb. read more

Can you say fantastic! I loved all the jazz artwork around the room which helped you understand why the name of the restaurant is frog and Slim. We had a wonderful waitress. I think her name was Shar. She was very helpful. We were 10 people and ordered bruschetta a charcuterie board, and arincins. Everything was wonderful. Amongst the 10 of us, we had halibut, steak, pasta with muscles, and oyster risotto They drink very excellent whiskey and enjoyed every minute We are here from out of town and I would recommend this restaurant read more

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. read more
