| - We had a certificate from restaurant.com and decided to try the famous Senor Frog's. Overall thoughts? Good drinks, party environment, and very "meh" food.
Service
We made a reservation (probably a good idea on busy nights) and were seated right away. Our server (I wish we got her name...) was really great. Fun and casual but not crazy or full of lame jokes. She got our drink and food order whenever we were ready and got the bill quickly when we were done. They had another worker passing through making balloon hats for everyone (no extra charge). She made some pretty amazing balloon creations! No pressure, however, if you decided not to wear hot air on your head. They were selling raffle tickets that night (and based on Yelp this seems common). I think it was 7 tickets for $20 to win a trip to Cancun. They seem to do a drawing every one and a half to two hours or so. You're only competing with other patrons in the restaurant, so potentially the odds aren't too bad (we bought them but aren't heading south of the border anytime soon).
Ambiance
Basic bar environment. High chairs and tables generally. Fairly comfortable. Lots of whimsical jokes and puns decorate the ceiling. It wasn't too loud when we were there (Sunday night). They have a stage for live music (none when we were there). It was on the noisy side but still easy to have a conversation.
Food
Tried the wings, spinach dip, ribs, chicken tacos, and churros. The ribs were the highlight - tender and flavorful with seasoned fries. Otherwise the food was very average. The food menu is actually fairly limited in terms of selection. We had two rounds of assorted cocktails too. Their cocktail menu is extensive! Tons of mixed and frozen drinks and all different sizes to choose from. They were having a buy one get one free on the largest size drinks I believe (about $35 each). The frog's punch was really good as was the daiquiri. Don't expect garnishes or fancy glasses; plastic cups are the standard here. The drinks were very tasty!! For very average bar food it is not cheap. Our total with four of the smallest size cocktails, two appetizers, two entrees, and one dessert was about $122 before tip. We did have a restaurant.com certificate which knocked $50 off that.
Mojo
Overall a fun environment with an extensive selection of cocktails which are tasty but very average and expensive food. I guess after a few of the cocktails you don't notice the food. Good place to go if your focus is drinking with some snacks to keep the booze from going to your head too fast.
