LOVE The Barking Frog!!! Had the tasting menu which was exquisite!!! Some of my favorites... the Grand Marnier Prawns - too die for! - and there was a dish, I can't remember the name but it was a piece of Ahi and a house-smoked short rib. Honestly, I could have eaten the ahi and rib again for dessert - it was amazing!!! The wine was also fabulous. Top notch food and excellent service, not too stuffy, FABULOUS!!!!

We don't quite know what to say about this restaurant. The food is quite extraordinary almost worth the price charged. Definitely not geared to a dinner for 2. It appears they cater to company dinners from conferences held at Willows. These tables for 2 are maybe 18 inches apart. There was a party of 20 & several parties of 6-8 and the noise level was horrendous, we were 3 feet apart & had to really raise our voices to be heard. Due to the large parties, our waiter had the 20 top, service was really terrible, finally a food deliverer took pity on us and asked if we needed anything and brought us water & drinks. Maybe during the weekend would be better. We were there on a Friday night. Again, we had trout & beef cheeks, both really good. Not what we expected for ambiance.

We had dinner the night we stayed at Willows Lodge. We had reservations and were seated right away. We had a 7 course meal and all of it was fantastic. At first it looks like you get barely any food, but after 7 courses (the main course was a very good portion) you walk away full and very satisfied. The staff were very knowledgeable about the wine and helped us pick out great wines with our food. The staff were helpful and humorous. Would love to go back for another special occasion.

I've been here 3 times for brunch and find this place very cozy, especially on a cloudy, rainy day. There's an open fireplace in the middle of the room. Brunch is deliciously prepared and there are lots of traditional, yet specially prepared dishes.

We had a great night there. The food was very favorful, the server was professional but not stuffy, and the wine list was good. Don't go there if you are in a hurry or don't want to spend 70.00 plus for dinner. But if you want a good dinning experience, I think it's in the top 10 in the Seattle area, and I eat out a lot.
Pros: A really great night out
Cons: expect to pay for a quality night

We came to the Barking Frog for our 25th anniversary with great expectations. The evening started off great - stylish room and a pleasant server who made an excellent wine recommendation. It all went for a dumper though when I had the gall to send back my raw pork chop for more cooking. The guy on the grill is obviously a passive/agrressive, because instead of cooking and re-plating my meal like you would expect from a first rate establishment, the plate came back with the pork sliced into 3 pieces and grilled black .. no cutlery. I guess he figured that would teach me. I did not eat the dinner and my husband ate his cold by the time I had a plate. The server then became defensive and avoided the table for the rest of the evening ... we had to pour our own wine and plead for coffee at the end 3 hours later! No one offered to adjust the bill or even said goodbye when we left. What a bunch of amateurs. There are many more deserving places to drop your $200.00 + per couple ... give this place a big pass. We re-celebrated our anniversary the following day at Mistral and it was fabulous.

The Barking Frog is amazing. I brought my father here for his birthday and we did the tasting menu, a big splurge but so worth it! Each course was fabulous and paired with the most amazing wines! The service was so good, everyone was so attentive and knew all of the answers to all of my father's questions. The Chef even came over and wished him a happy birthday. It is definitely a cozy, romantic environment and would not be the best place for groups larger than about 10 or so. But I can see returning again with a small group of friends. As for previous complaints about it not being kid friendly, when I went there were a couple of well behaved children they had children's menu's for them to color on and kid's cups, so it is certainly family friendly. Its fine dining at its best with none of the snobbishness.
Pros: Service, quality, ambience
Cons: parking, not good for large groups, not good if you are in a rush
