My wife and I have been to Frog & Slim on two previous occasions and loved it both times…Tonight, we took our mom, sister, and brother-in-law to dinner here. As usual, Robert (aka Slim) came to our table several times to ensure everything was going smooth and he enhanced our meal as always. We requested Alyshia again because she’s an absolutely fantastic server and tonight was no exception. She always smiling, friendly, and caring. The pork shank, hamburger, and halibut were all outstanding entrées. We also have the charcuterie board for the first time and it definitely won’t be our last… Many house made items and delicious offerings all around. My wife’s old-fashion and my sister’s margarita were also outstanding drinks. The combination of great employees, food, and ambiance make this a must stop if you’re ever in the Sacramento area

First of all, Frog & Slim was a nice slightly elevated restaurant that featured Jazz music and a good vibe. The food was not tragically overpriced but a bit on the higher end. However all of the food we had was either a little too salty, too oily, the salad which was very clean and prepared nicely was still wet from when the lettuce was washed (or the dressing was watery?) A reasonable place especially considering Sacramento's relatively limited fine dining options. We probably wouldnt come back just because it didn't wow us it was just ok. Some plus's outside of ambiance was our cocktails were excellent!

Ashley was the BEST. The food was also honestly the best versions of those we’ve ever had: elevated deviled eggs, truffle fries with garlic lemon aioli, scallops with risotto, mussel and shrimp piccata, and the pomegranate-basil plus mango margarita mocktails!!!!!!! To die for.

We were celebrating my husband's birthday with friends. The food was outstanding and our server was attentive. When we first arrived, the receptionist wanted to seat us in a booth and insisted that there were no tables. I said I could not sit in a booth as I just had back surgery & my husband is 6'1 so its rather uncomfortable. I insisted on waiting for a table regardless of the time. We finally sat at the bar to wait and had a cocktail. Everyone enjoyed their meal - from Spanish Octopus to New York Steak to Pork Shank. The appetizers and desserts were exceptional. We will be back.
