Barking Frog

For an unparalleled dining experience, The Barking Frog is the place to be! My fiancé and I had the pleasure of savoring their extraordinary tasting menu, "Let's Meat For Dinner," and we were left utterly captivated by each course. The flavors were simply sensational, making our meal an exquisite dining adventure.

Beyond the phenomenal food, the service was equally exceptional. Taylor, the restaurant manager, and CT, the sommelier, were delightful hosts who showcased not only their expertise but also their warm and charming personalities. Their attentiveness elevated our dining experience to the highest level, leaving a lasting impression.

The ambiance at The Barking Frog is as inviting as can be, with a theater kitchen that allows guests to witness the culinary artistry up close. The soft, dim lighting sets the perfect mood, and the restaurant boasts an impressive selection of wines, adding to the overall enjoyment. Such was our delight with the food and service that we decided to return the very next day!

We wholeheartedly recommend The Barking Frog to all connoisseurs of fine dining!

I had the honor of dining at the Barking Frog for my new fiancé and I's engagement dinner after proposing earlier in the day. I felt compelled to leave a review which I rarely do because we had one of the most special dining experiences of our lives.

We let our server Chris know that we were celebrating, and he helped make our night so special. He started us off with complimentary champagne, and throughout the course of our evening made took every opportunity possible to make sure we were taken care of.

We had the golden osetra caviar to start, the scallop entree, a tenderloin and lobster entree, and creme brulee for dessert. Every single aspect of every dish was perfection, I could take 10 more paragraphs to go into detail on this, but there really wasn't one thing I would have changed.

Chris wanted to make sure we had something to remember our night by, and so he turned our wine bottle (also delicious) into a memento that we can keep forever. I wanted to share all of this because I am so appreciative of all of the effort that the front and back of house put into creating such an amazing experience. We will be back!

I am specifically leaving a review for the fact that this restaurant is exceptionally nice, in addition to our waiter named Isaiah who was a genuine pleasure.

I hope that a manager supervisor is able to recognize him for his excellent customer service, and attention to detail.

I highly recommend trying out the Barking Frog as a nice date, night spot or special occasion, spot with friends or family. The parking lot was easy, the location, wise quaint, and charming!

Seems like they have a menu that changes, so you'll have to go and see what's on the menu when you decide to try. I am including photos of some of the delicious items we had.

The chicken was undercooked. So I tried to get the server but no one checked our table after they served the foods. So I waited for 10 minutes to tell them about my undercooked chicken. The server took my dish and told about it to a kitchen staff. She didn't apologize about it, also she didn't explain how long did it take to remake the salad. After another 15 minutes waiting, I finally got the salad.  no croutons on Caesar salad that time!! they didn't pay attention what they were doing.
They changed $30 for this salad. It's not worthy. Food wasn't good and service was horrible.

Barking Frog has top notch cuisine without a doubt... the space is small and tables tight, but we found ourselves talking to the table next to us! The service was top notch every step of the way...

The menu is a bit "fancy" - we didn't groove on much of the items...Going out in a limb, I tried the vegan tasting menu! This was a 6 course tasting meal that was PHENOMENAL. Each course was tiny, but exquisitely prepared and presented. The flavors were outstanding and I was plenty full by the end. My wife enjoyed the skirt steak - wonderful flavor.

All in was $300 - not your typical Saturday night but an experience!

Ate out on the patio and it is pure delight.  Oysters were so good.  Salad and salmon carpaccio were underwhelming, but we had a nice local WA white wine and shared the scallops, both of which were really good, plus crème brûlée for dessert before heading across the street for a concert at Chateau Ste Michelle.  The service here is really great, and we ran super late for our reservation running into rush hour traffic getting out of downtown Seattle, but they accommodated us no problem.  Highly recommend this place!

My daughter and I stopped into Barking Frog for breakfast while passing time waiting for my wife.

Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment.

Indoors is rustic and pleasing to the eye. Large parties can easily be accommodated. More restaurants should have large circular tables like Barking Frog. The kitchen is visible from the dining area.

Barking Frog has a small full bar area with some seating.

During our visit my daughter and I sipped on a Bloody Mary for $16 each while reviewing the menu. Our Bloody Mary's were garnished with celery, pimento stuffed green olives, a green bean, pickled asparagus, and a slice of bacon.

My daughter ordered the Avocado Toast for $14 + $6 up-charge for two Poached Eggs: once slice of multi-grain whole wheat bread, avocado, feta, pistachio-almond dukkah, radish, sprouts, add two poached.

I ordered the Breakfast Burrito for $18 + $6 up-charge for Chorizo: scrambled eggs, potatoes, tomato, onion, chard, avocado, cilantro, pepper jack cheese, and mango salsa verde.

Our server was friendly and efficient.

Overall, we both enjoyed our breakfast; however, Barking Frog is trendy and excessively overpriced for a standard meal. Barking Frog would be a great choice for a date.

My husband and I have come here several times as a treat because he loves their huckleberry pancakes.

Have to say we were a bit disappointed during this trip. (Not because of the food) We came for brunch on a Sunday and it was fairly late, around 145pm. It wasn't overly crowded. It took about 6 minutes for someone to even acknowledge our existence.

Finally someone greeted us and we asked if we could sit at the bar. She said they are no longer seating at the bar. No problem. We were then sat at a table and waited quite a bit to get a drink order in.

My husbands old fashioned was not finished and was brought over to the table by someone who wasn't our server. It appeared there was a miscommunication. Our server then noticed the 'oopsie' and he came over and made it right. He also ended up taking it off our tab, so we are happy that he noticed and fixed things for us.

The food was great as always, no complaints there.
It seemed that there was no management in the front of the house and it was quite evident. Very unorganized. When we got to our table we also noticed that our silverware was significantly dirty and we had to ask for new forks.
And it's always quite chilly so bring a jacket!

Service was professional and impeccable. Food was outstanding. We started with the cheese plate that came with a soft cheese, fig jam, and homemade lavash. We shared a salad of fresh shaved vegetables. Presentation of everything was amazing. My husband had the firepit lamb - he is raving about it! I had the king salmon over pasta. Sooo good! We passed on dessert. Maybe next time!

We sat outside on a beautiful June evening. (Inside felt a bit over air-conditioned.)

We had dinner at Barking Frog last month. I think their prex-fixe/tasting menu is where they are putting their focus. Because everyone who ordered the tasting menu received their food while we waited for ours.

But first, I should probably start at the beginning. We were walk-ins on Superbowl Sunday and got a table as the place was only half filled.

We ordered drinks and a gluten-free bread basket, which was delicious. We ordered entrees, which took almost an hour to arrive. When they did arrive, the sturgeon was cold (and poorly seasoned), the ahi/wagyu dish was warm and okay, and the scallops, while also not hot, were delicious.

The waitress was very gracious once she noticed that the sturgeon was barely touched (she never came by while we were eating to check in) and offered some options. As a thank you, they also sent some extra gluten-free bread home with us. Although, unfortunately it was actually regular bread that they packed up.
