Dining room at Barking Frog, Woodinville, WAThe Barking Frog borrows on its better-known neighbor’s (The Herbfarm) precise and ambitious use of seasonal ingredients but does so with less theatric intent. A summer menu may give nods to Asian cooking---with lemon grass, wasabi, curry and ginger making appearances---as well as “home-cooked” fare: a Kurobuta pork loin is served with black-eyed peas, a starter accompanied by corn fritters, a summer salmon dish paired with succotash. Thai watermelon soup is topped with a single scallop for a refreshing start to a meal, and ricotta gnocchi is served with herb-roasted chicken in flavorful gravy. The lobster and butter lettuce salad, meanwhile, is generous on seafood, if not slightly over-dressed. There’s a five-course tasting menu (paired with Northwest wines if desired) as well as à la carte selections. Add attentive service and the experience is worth sharing with a group of intimate friends.

Tourist Trap
by raleighgibson on 04/04/2009
 
Just like its sister restaurant, The Cowboy Grill, it is a tourist trap. The service is slow, full of mistakes and they have excuses for everything. We couldn't finish the food as it was below average, never mind the price you pay for it. I am a local and will never go back as you walk out of there feeling like a fool.
