Bergamot dessert
Huy T.

Dropped by Barking Frog yesterday for a business dinner with a group of six, and honestly, the kitchen nailed it. We started off sharing a few apps for the table. The crab cakes had a perfect sear, and the oysters were incredibly clean and well-shucked. The poke udon was an inspired standout--the texture of the fish cut into an udon shape was spot on. For the protein, I went with the lamb and lobster tail. The lamb was perfectly executed--tender, great mouthfeel, and the flavor profile was balanced without being overpowering. The lobster was butter-poached to perfection with a great snap. I ended up double-padding the finish with two desserts (no regrets). The bergamot was a nice hit of acidity to cut through the meal, and the crème brûlée had a flawless, glass-like torch on the sugar. It's rare to see a menu where every plate has such a distinct identity and well-developed flavors, but the line really nailed the execution. Service was top-tier, too. The FOH staff were super friendly, knew the specs of every dish, and hit that sweet spot of being attentive without hovering. Our entire group loved the meal. If you're looking for a spot that's low-key but brings high-end technique, this is it.

Great spot for brunch, lunch or dinner. Perfect if you are celebrating a special occasion of just having a casual catch up with a friend. The service is great, friendly and knowledgeable staff and absolutely delicious food. The beignets are a must-try! And the glazed prawns. Sooo Soo good. Oh and fish and chips too! I love that they have a seasonal menu so we get to try something new almost every time we visit. Plenty of parking !

Still a great, elegant place to go! Went hear during SRW (funny, I was reading my review from SRW 2019!). Definitely a place for special occasions or a treat to yourself. Food and service are excellent! While waiting we were served amuse-bouche -- pureed salmon I think. But whatever it was, it was delicious! First course, we liked both dishes and hard to choose which one we liked more of because they were so different from each other. I'm glad I got to try them both! We appreciated the heads up from our server that that only 2 were left of the Matsutake & Chanterelle Veloute and that he can reserve both of them for us if interested. - Scallop Crudo autumn tide - charred cucumber essence, umeboshi pickled apple, toasted wild rice crackle, shiso oil - Matsutake & Chanterelle Veloute - wild foragers sunchoke, smoked huckleberry oil, spruce-toasted seed crips. Second course - another 2 equally great dishes! - Braised pork belly & wild gatherings - heritage pork belly, foraged walnut gremolata, parsnip silk, black garlic-cacao jus. - Cedar smoked sturgeon - fennel pollen lacquer, chanterelle conserva, ember roasted squash, pumpkin seed romesco Third course - 3 for 3! - Pumpkin bread pudding - orange toffee sauce, cranberry compote, white chocolate - Dark chocolate coffee ganache - crispy praline base, caramelia cremeux, chocolate cracker If you want to treat yourself to great food and service, this is the place to go! Worth every $$$$.

Huckleberry pancakes
Hanna S.

Ambience. Design fabulous Lodge Pacific Northwest Feel. Monday morning breakfast is easy and not too busy. Big difference from their weekend branches. Pretty good coffee drinks. They make their chocolate Grenache for the mocha in house. My husband liked the huckleberry pancakes, although I thought they could have more berries There wasn't much for me except for avocado toast with fell flat. The avocado was more like a mash, and the bread was not even warm or toasted. It was bland . I only had a few bites. But they were kind and helpful. I wish they had steel cut oats I urge them to create some more options for a vegan and or just anyone who wants a lighter healthy fair. We will try them tonight

We had a delicious and expensive breakfast this morning at the Barking Frog. It wasn't crowded and we sat outside. The service is great and so is the avocado toast! It's really pretty inside and out and fun and very relaxing! Our waitress Mo is delightful! The berries are grown here and so delicious!

Mushroom carrot puree
Juz C.

Went here for Seattle Restaurant Week. This is the menu choices you can have for a 3-course lunch meal at $35. I love the mushrooms appetizer and cauliflower soup (very creamy). The duck confit was also pretty good as a main dish. The Butternut squash risotto had some pickled onions or something. The dessert the honey butter ice cream was surprisingly good, and the chocolate panna cotta was very rich and really good too. The staff were super nice and really hospitable. We had a Wed lunch reservation so not alot of people which is also good.

Oysters
Sarah B.

I stayed at Willows Lodge with a few girlfriends, and we had two meals at Barking Frog. Overall, service was amazing and food and drinks delicious. We loved that the server brought tastings of wine he would pair with our meals. The oysters were fabulous, lamb and scallops delicious. Salmon was very undercooked. Creme brûlée delish. For breakfast, we had eggs Benedict (perfect) and huckleberry pancakes. I would recommend they add more huckleberries, but again service was fantastic.

Barking Frog Platter
Ya-Wei W.

Food was delicious, was recommended the Huevos Rancheros when my friend and I couldn't decide on a second dish! We got that and the Barking Frog platter and it was all absolutely delicious and perfect portions. We didn't have reservations so they asked if we were ok to sit at the bar. Turned out the bar is actually very spacious and comfortable. On top of all that they let us take the small jars of jam with us to-go! So fun. We'll definitely be back!

Barking frog Breakfast

First off, it is pretty difficult to get seated here if you don't have a reservation. Food-wise, it's your standard American breakfast. The huckleberry pancakes and egg dishes are pretty good, but nothing special. Service was decent, I wished they came around with coffee refills without us having to ask multiple times. The ambience is nice, across from the hotel. Overall, this is a solid breakfast spot with your traditional breakfast dishes.

Peacan tart
Jen M.

Delicious lunch for restaurant week! Made reservations and was quickly seated. Service was Friendly and the food was portioned just right. Cauliflower soup was blended super well and benefited from adding salt and pepper. The mushroom appetizer was nice with all the sauce compliments eaten together vs separately. Duck confit was tender and really flavorful, complimented well with the flavors and textures of the vegetables. My risotto was a bit on the sweet side and rice texture was a bit mushy vs firm but still an ok dish. The star of the meal was dessert. Loved my peacan tart - great crust, perfect amount of crunchy and sweetness. Chocolate panna cotta w peanuts was a huge hit as well and would reorder both again!

Beignets
Iris C.

Came to Woodinville to do some wine tasting and a little staycation. We decided to stay at the Willows Lodge and try Barking Frog for brunch before we headed back to Seattle. I made a reservation for 12:30 and we arrived early as I hadn't realized that the restaurant was right across from the main entrance to the lodge. We were seated right away, which was nice. The place isn't huge but the set up is fairly nice and they maximize the space. Decor was also well done. I ordered a passion fruit bellini, it was good but took a little bit to come out. We had the beignets to start, they were good and the strawberry rhubarb cream cheese spread was really nice. For mains we had the the Barking Frog breakfast and the biscuits and gravy with eggs. My bf definitely enjoyed his Barking Frog breakfast, and while I overall enjoyed the biscuits and gravy it could've used a little more gravy to biscuit ratio, especially for thick semi dry biscuits. Getting my eggs over easy helped. I left probably 40% of the biscuits on plate. A good meal overall but service could've been a bit better and the time between ordering a drink, looking for our server and making eye contact with other staff and being ignored left me feeling a little weird. If a manager sees you swivelling your head 20 times and making eye contact maybe they could stop by and see if everything is okay. It was busy so I'll give them some grace. Hopefully if I ever go back the experience is a little better.

Best brunch in the Seattle metro area. I went here a few months ago, and I think of it often. All of the food tasted of incredible quality, and was well prepared too. The Beignets: Delectable Barking frog breakfast: I love that it has both bacon and sausage. Fluffy perfect eggs. I got a side of garlic Parmesan fries instead of roasted potato on my barking frog breakfast. Also stellar.

WILLOWS LODGE RESTAURANT. This restaurant is actually part of the hotel. It is elegant and nicely appointed, both inside and out. The outdoor seating is pleasant on a warm summer day with umbrellas for shade. Our friends raved about this place. It's nice, and we enjoyed our meal, but rave? I dunno. The service was excellent, and the food was above average. It is pricy and presents itself as such. This restaurant also handles all the room service for the hotel, so if you have trouble getting a reservation and are staying at the hotel, you can always return to your room and order from the menu there, although it is slightly more limited. For our appetizers, we had the caviar plate, which contained a tablespoon or less of caviar, some crème, and those little pancake-like caviar breads. Our entrees were very good as well. Cheers.

Ask the Community - Barking Frog

Is there a view at brunch at the Barking Frog?

I don't remember a view. The seats by the window only show the lodge across from the restaurant, so I would say no view.

Is this place kid friendly?

I would ultimately say yes, it is. It is still pretty upscale so the meals are not inexpensive. For breakfast one day they had coloring for the kids. Dinner, they didn't, but we brought stuff to entertain them as dinner took awhile.

Do you have a vegan menu?

The Barking Frog lists all their menus on their website. At this time I do not see a vegan menu.

When is brunch served and when is lunch served?

Lunch is weekdays. Brunch is weekends.

Reservation required on any day brunch?

It is advised. It is not a large place and most people make reservations. Walk-ins can have long waits.

Chef Brad's version definitely gets high marks for it's flakey crust, creamy coconut filling topped with Chantilly cream. The Steak & Ale Pot Pie warmed up in the air fryer came out well. It's a tasty pie with generous amount of tender beef with peas and carrots. I'm convinced that any pie I get here is going to be delicious and satisfying.

Obviously the person on the grill wasn't trained or wasn't paying attention. Pacing was also a problem. Waited pretty long to order. Then salads came while we were finishing last bites of the appetizer. Then entrees came while I was literally in the middle of my salad. Talk about rushed. That salad would have been good if the shaved parm had been shaved. However, the pieces of parm were huge - really thick. Can't imagine who would think that was a good bite on a salad. The Broccolini was half cooked. I could barely cut the stem with a steak knife. Obviously. I couldn't eat those stems. They did not have a flight of wine that was all reds (i don't drink white wine). So why 4 stars instead of less? The mushroom toast appetizer was fantastic. I shouid have stopped there and would have been happy. The ceasar dressing and large crouton were good, even if the shaved parm was a bust. Once the steak was served to me medium as I'd ordered it, it was delicious and the fries were crispy and went well with the steak. I enjoyed the glass of wine I ordered. I hope they get their act together - such potential!

Came back to give them another try and the experience ended up being way better than the last time…read moreI visited that I am willing to give them another chance. Arrived at around 7 pm with no reservation, but they were able to get us seated up at the bar. They were busy with drinks as there were group parties surrounding us at the bottom floor. At least they let us know and did not ignore us like last time. We ordered a glass of wine for each of us, it was to our liking. We also ordered dinner. Food was pretty good. More filling than we thought. I ordered the Risotto and the husband ordered the Chicken Romero. Both were very filling and delicious. Overall, will definitely come back.

Big yikes to Seattle Restaurant Week at Purple…read more I have been going to this location for years and had probably the worst service experience I've ever had at a restaurant (and that's saying a lot). To be charged a 4% service fee is a bit crazy based on the service. Our meal took over two hours even though it was a set menu we ordered right when we got there. We didn't have time to be enjoying drinks or anything in those two hours as our server ignored our table completely. At multiple points in the meal we had to walk inside and ask for things and if they were coming. So we were just sitting hungry staring at one another. If our server saw us, he would walk the other direction. This happened multiple times throughout the night. I think in the two hours we saw him once at our table but he did not appear overly busy. Everyone at our table has had service jobs before and know you cant help when you're slammed but he seemed to just be floating in space around the restaurant, not overly busy. We ended up needing to flag down other servers to get help. The other sections servers were helpful. Once we sat down and ordered, it took over 30 minutes to receive our glasses of wine. The meal continued to be a mess. It took 30+ minutes between courses, including our desserts being forgotten. One persons got brought out way before everyone else's and our server asked if we liked the bonus dessert. We had to inform him we didn't receive any bonus dessert and it was just hers came out way before anyone else's even though we had the same orders. The only saving grace was the food was tasty and generally well cooked.
