Could not be any better!The best restaurant I’ve ever been to!I am so grateful to the friend who recommended this restaurant.Although I am now broke, but it was worth it!

Make sure you have at least 3 hours for lunch/dinner and do not eat at least 3 hours before! I also would not recommend if it’s your first visit to a Michelin starred restaurant. I visited 50+ of them and this one is the best so far. And it’s the best not for interior, atmosphere or service - which is expectantly good, but for amazing food. Every dish was delicious, full of textures and make a real culinary journey. This place really deserves a second star.

We ate in the private dining room and had booked the tasting menu, the food was great and beautifully prepared and presented but there were a shortage of dishes for our table (sharing bread rolls is not cool or quirky). My main issue is that despite pre-ordering the tasting menu when we arrived the waitress spent the majority of the time trying to upsell the experience to include Wagyu beef, scallops, and truffle shavings with no regard to who was paying the final bill.

Absolutely fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Sat at the kitchen tables and was fantastic to watch the chef at work.

Using the best ingredients from the British soil and waters, Adam Handling creates, innovates, combines, and sublimizes. This culinary journey through the British Isles is like poetry, where everything is balanced to achieve perfection. And perfection is perfected, here. Bravo to the entire Team!

Great tasting menu. Everything was so well done and thought for. Each of the dishes were delicious and had their own flavour profile. The service was impeccable as well as the all the attention to detail in the plating of every dish.

As per the title, really! We've been here twice in the space of 5 months and I think nearly everything on the menu had changed between visits. This is a shame and great news! It's a shame because the food on our trip in August was exceptional. I wanted some of those dishes again, the crab dish especially. It was also great news because we got to try even more of the food this amazing restaurant produces. The food is faultless, it's packed with flavour and well presented. Service is equally as faultless. The staff are friendly and attentive but managed to strike that fine line between being attentive and letting us enjoy each others company. Having Adam Handling serve a few courses was a nice touch too. My partner and I are teetotal so are always interested to see an alcohol free pairing. When we went in August there wasn't one, but now there is and it's a banger. One drink in particular was a real stand out. The restaurant is on the pricey side, but you're getting what you pay for. Faultless perfection. We can't wait to go back.

This is one of the best meals we have both ever had, and we have visited a lot Michelin restaurants in London. The service was very friendly and impeccable throughout, not one fault on service at all. Regarding the food, this was very inventive and all tasted incredible. This was the first day of a new menu, and it was just 10/10 the whole way. We booked straight away to come back it was that good. Also, they have a great wine list, which albeit tough to navigate alone, the Sommelier 'Nadia' was very knowledgeable and Helpful

AJ at Eve bar was amazing. She created the atmosphere and we ended up staying a lot longer than we thought. Got me, my now favourite, drink. Will definitely come back because of her.
What a special lunch my friend and I enjoyed. A wonderful selection of courses that took you on a journey. Very well served by a delightful team who explained the various dishes; all of which were Wow!! Super wine had been advised by the sommelier. Allow a few hours as you wouldn't want to rush this super dining experience. Treat yourself to a copy of Frog by Adam Handling, it is special..

I’m slightly conflicted writing this review. The restaurant experience was excellent and definitely 5 star, the food and service superb and definitely one of our favourite Michelin restaurant experiences and we will definitely be back. The food is sublime. All that said a couple of major gripes Firstly the cocktail bar downstairs. We were invited to book a table by Frog about a week before we visited and thought it sounded lovely. We were disappointed. The service was really really poor. They didn’t have a table for us and we were left seated at the bar and after waiting 15 minutes had to ask to order drinks. Five minutes later we were told we had to give up our table for another booking which we refused and they were really apologetic. Not good enough though when spending over £600 in the restaurant. We were then left for another 20 minutes and never asked if we wanted another drink. Secondly the price and optional extras. I think this is really expensive even by Michelin standards and we have eaten at a plenty to know. Especially with a menu at £195 per head you would not expect £35 extra for sturgeon, £40 for beef and £10 for cheese. That’s £280 per head which is ridiculous. Many 3 star restaurants are cheaper! Come on guys don’t be so greedy!

Another visit last week for dinner. I'd usually go into a full on description of the tasting (only) menu and its eight (minimum) courses, but I don't think that's necessary. I've decided, finally, that there's a problem with the menu here. I've been coming here for five years and the menu has never been balanced properly. I have yet to get through a full degustation without becoming far too full. I'd put it down to the generous canapés, chicken & bread and the overly sweet cheese course, but this time, I paced myself. I opted for the optional Sturgeon course but ignored the cheese and nibbled the bread(s) at best but still, by the time I reached the main, I was totally stuffed. The best dish was unquestionably the Scallop with yet another bread (brioche) and bisque, but it's a full size à la carte plate. Gorgeous, but none the less huge! I'd argue it's enough for two people, but there it sits, within a tasting menu. This is after six canapés, a sour dough loaf and chicken course which now has a BBQ wing, two butters and a chicken parfait, plus Sea bream, and then Sturgeon plates. Honestly, it's too much and there were some forgettable courses too. The Sea bream was served ceviche with bland white radish. The Chicken butter lacked the chicken skin flavour I've had here before and the Pigeon main was cooked in a water bath and not nice for me. Bar the Beef tartare canapé, nothing was singing like the Scallop dish. I'll end there and point out that this is not a cheap restaurant, with the total bill at £360 per head, including a stupidly indulgent glass of Champagne. There are better places than this and better value in London where I manage to get through the menus without needing a lie down half way through.

As returning customers, we are absolutely appalled by the customer service at Frog by Adam Handling. The restaurant cancelled our booking with 2.5 weeks to go, after we had booked 5 months prior, completely out of the blue. It was brought to our attention by OpenTable on Saturday 18th November, and we have since emailed the restaurant directly to find out why it was cancelled, which we now understand was due to a ‘private event’. The restaurant rang my husband twice two weeks prior to the cancellation but left no voicemail, so we disregarded the number as a scam call. The restaurant never emailed us, despite clearly having our email address associated with the booking via OpenTable. This was a special anniversary meal for myself and my husband. We were also treating my lovely mum whose beloved husband passed away last year – and was his wish for us to treat her there. The restaurant said they would move our booking to another date. This is ironic considering we are only visiting London on that date and cannot move this to another time – hence why it was booked 5 months ago! We then received an email from OpenTable saying that ‘we’ had cancelled so that we cannot post this review on OpenTable either. This is an utterly despicable way to treat your returning customers. We have admired Adam’s establishments from the very beginning, but mark my words, we will never return due to this terrible service. Adam – a booking is a booking, as you clearly tell us on your website, because after all if we cancelled at short notice, you would charge us. You should know better.

An absolutely fantastic experience! However, didn't leave feeling satisfactorily full. A couple more dishes or slightly larger portions would have been welcomed.
