5 /5 Fran and Mike: One of many lovely visits to The Frog by Adam Handling but our first for lunch in London . It is definitely far more relaxed for lunch as there is just one seating. Reading reviews from people who have been in the evening the issue of feeling very rushed still remains. We were celebrating our anniversary and this was acknowledged by the staff and we were made to feel very welcome. We opted for a classic wine pairing which was perfect and delicious. We were very impressed by the Sommelier who was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The only thing that would have helped is to understand that this essentially starts two courses in with the first of the main dishes. I guess this is obvious when you think about it, but had we thought about it we probably would’ve asked for a glass of wine so we weren’t just on the water for so long! All of the food is beautifully presented with superb attention to detail. We also felt it was perfectly seasoned and flavour profiles and textures were excellent. The “snacks” were mixed - for example, the tuna was beautiful delicate and delicious but the ‘ cigars’ were only partially filled. We didn’t opt for the extra courses as the food is plentiful even though each plate is quite small (as they should be if you wish to taste a number of different things). Personally, not a fan of the Madeleine‘s at the end with the cream and jam but my husband was very happy as he benefited from this! Personally, I prefer some lovely cheese and artisan biscuits. The stand out course for us both was the cherries and chocolate- divine ❤️It’s important to note that there is no choice for the lunch menu so it is imperative to state any strong preferences or food intolerance up front. The chefs have always accommodated these perfectly.
We have visited a number of The Frog establishments and our absolute favourite is The Ugly Butterfly although , we have yet to visit in its new new location, but we shall be soon. Thank you for a lovely celebration.
