The Scene – Sporting a bistro ambience, the Frog is funky, bedecked with paintings, French prints and knickknacks. The charmer is the small dining room, cozy for a date; the table is the right size to lean over candle light. – – The Food – The menu, while extensive, changes daily: Check the chalkboard menus. Entrees include Ahi tuna on pasta in a beet and ginger oil sauce, quail in a bed of herbed wild rice, red snapper with porcini mushrooms and asparagus. Complete the experience with frozen chocolate mousse or profiteroles (pastry filled with vanilla ice cream,…

major disappointment
by lick6
I had hoped for a fun evening at this place, but instead when i ordered their artichoke appetizer, which was missing the heart of the artichoke when it was served, I was accused of lying when I complained, and then the waiter suggested I leave the restaurant since I was un happy with the food. To pay $15 for an artichoke with no heart (so they could use it themselves for another dish) is total fraud. And to pretend it was me that didn't understand the "dish" is really over the top. I did leave, so I cannot comment on their main courses, but be VERY careful with this place.
- Pros: fun interior, interesting menu
- Cons: very poor service, fraud with their food offering

Foubulous
by Jeffoodie
Loved every aspect of this cozy place. Eclectic art and signs,friendly owners, knowledgable staff; and the food unbelievable. I ventured to try the kangaroo after the waiter "highly recommended" and it was tender and juicy as he claimed. My wifes fish entree was wonderful and looked like an architects model...presentation, presentation, presentation....
The 2 items that were the best I've ever had were the Lobster Bisque and the French vanilla ice cream. Best in class. Pricey yes, but we will return for those special occassions - you can't take it with you!
- Pros: Food and staff
- Cons: ???

Kansas City is a really great city...with really great food...who knew?!
by HoboBunny
After reading the two negative or temperate reviews on this site, the skepticism cultivated from years in NYC kicked in and I wasn't sure if we were getting ourselves into a high-priced disappointment or a delightful discovery. Well, let it be known my friends, it was definitely the latter! Really yummy food with complex sauces that I feel I could never do at home (but not too much of it, not drenched in sauce...just enough); attentive but not hovering wait-staff and a super cozy and fun atmosphere. It was possibly the best meal we've had in a long time. I had the lobster tails, he had the red snapper, we started with the porcini soup and finished with the tarte tartin and coffee. The coffee also was delicious. I highly recommend! This place is totally worth the price.
- Pros: atmosphere, food, staff
- Cons: leave kids at home
