Michelin starred Frog by Adam Handling is a place to really submerge yourself in a theatrical show. You’re facing the kitchen, the chefs come to your table and you are able to really interact with every member of the team. Frog is luxury in an environment where you feel comfortable being whoever you are and where all elements in the restaurant are connected to offer a truly memorable experience.

The dishes are very emotional and they all mean something to Adam. Each and every one of the dishes has a story behind it, whether it’s a memory from Adam’s childhood or something that has inspired him or the team.

Incredible dining experience, one of if not the best I've ever had. Prices have jumped significantly (50-70%) in the last few months which is disappointing, however you really do get what you pay for, and that is the best of the best.

Beautiful innovative food that was an explosion of balanced flavour. I don't think I've ever had such perfectly cooked food. Loved that you could see the chef's at work in the kitchen. Service was absolutely outstanding, our glasses were never empty and nothing was too much. Highly recommend and will be returning. Hats off to Adam.

The meal we had at Frog by Adam Handling was without a doubt the best meal we have ever had and we have eaten at quite a few top restaurants in the UK. The food was outstanding without being pretentious. It felt special without being over the top. Love the clever use of British ingredients, meaning that waste is kept to a minimum and food hasn't been flown in from across the globe. The wine pairings were exceptional! As well as the food being incredible, the service was spot on! All of the staff were friendly, full of smiles, knew exactly when to step in and when to give you some space. They were not pushy and focused on the upsell, they just wanted you to feel relaxed and have a good time. Such a well-oiled machine and they just all seemed to enjoy being there and working together. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. One thing to make it even better would be for the menus to be in better shape. My menu was a little dog-eared, so perhaps offer new menus? As a first-impression this would be great. But this was literally the ONLY thing I would change and that is saying something! It's a dream of a restaurant! Keep it up!

The lunch tasting menu was superb, if pricey, for a special occasion. The food is exceptional and the service was warm, fun, and relaxed. Two bottles of wine where recommended and greatly enjoyed. The wine list deserves all the accolades that it has received and more. It was our first visit and we are glad we went.

Most of the courses were superb but the steak and lamb course (main course ) was not up to the same standard in taste/ - neither of us could tell what the meat on each of our main courses was as neither tasted like it should but was overpowered by the sauce on each of the dishes. On the Wagyu steak the mushrooms left a very bitter taste on the palate. We both thought that the cost (over£200 each including service charge) was very high considering other restaurants we have eaten in including Tbe Ritz, The Square Tom Kitchen , Sat Bains etc

An amazing array of food. Each portion was small enough that you can eat all nine courses and not feel full, but each course was amazing. The scallops were the best I have ever eaten. My main was exceptional. It’s very pricey but well worth it for a special event

Chef Cleverson Cordeiro is outstading. The front team and more specifically Marcos did a great job and unique experience. Perfect for a special occasion and to expand one’s culinary taste. My wife and I are now adept of several ingredients we were not too keen on previously. Congrats to everyone on their team.
