Excellent ambience, service was that of your standard fine dining establishment and really loved all of the Chefs creations. Packed house but food came out quick and hot. Will I be back? Absolutely! My husband and I love not only the Barking Frog but the Willows Lodge. Beautiful place. Fabulous food... Fabulous people. If you haven't been here; you need to!

First time visit, went for lunch with my friends. Very nice ambiance, upscale. The Cobb Salad was fresh and tasty, our friends had the BLT and the Chicken burger which came with a healthy portion of French fries but they were very limp.. they did enjoy both their meals, I had had the beef burger with a side order of house salad. They were both tasty. It was a pleasant place to have lunch and have a bit of a chitchat with our friends. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but we enjoyed it.

Had an amazing dinner tonight sat at the bar Nick guided us through an amazing menu from beginning to end. Had the salmon and the preparation was amazing. Nick paired it with an amazing Italian wine that complemented the dish. We ended with popcorn ice cream and a fortified wine that was mind blowing :) thanks again Nick for helping us through an impressive menu and wine selection. Very grateful! Looking forward to next visit

Romantic hidden gem at Willows Lodge. Came first a birthday dinner. Loved the ambience, creative Menu with vegan options. Hummus is diverse & tasty. Really good focaccia bread! friendly service. Sorbet birthday dessert! Came back the next day for breakfast lunch. Another delicious meal with friendly service. A little expensive but worth the experience They get busy, reservations are recommended.

This place I reserve for special occasions. A friend and colleague wanted to go somewhere prestigious. I had been to the Barking Frog a few years ago and it did not disappoint that time. We had lunch at noon on a Friday. The weather was about 82° so we opted for the patio. There was ample seating both inside and out so the choice was ours. A round of drinks and appetizers came next. Delicious smoked salmon balls and a variety dip plate with hummus. I know it's ridiculous, but that was arguably the best celery I have ever had. I got the three course meal with the pork cheek bruschetta, cucumber salad, and scallops. I went out of my way to remind everyone in the party that I needed to take pictures for this review. I got one. After the first bite of bruschetta, I forgot all about taking pictures. The staff was attentive and knew when to swing by and when to leave us alone. Parking is the same as for Willows Lodge, and there is no sign per se, but there is no concern with taking the wrong spot as long as you don't park in the valet. Let them do it. They also have 4 Tesla supercharger stations out front. And if you eat entirely too much, you could probably waddle across the courtyard and check into the hotel. Insider tip: go there around noon and it won't be too busy. we left close to 3 PM and it had gotten pretty full.

Quite excellent. I've had good, but not great experiences with the $$$+ restaurant bracket for a while and this was a nice surprise. Was here on a Friday night celebrating a special occasion and then for lunch the following day. The likes: -Service was very knowledgeable and attentive, as expected -Great ambiance -Went a little crazy on the bread basket, but the focaccia is excellent. -The bone-in braised beef short rib was fantastic. -Lunch menu is more $$ The dislikes: -Not a fault of the restaurant, but don't try to come here without reservations. -Otherwise nothing really to dislike!

This is a fancy upscale restaurant situated near the winery and a bunch of chateau places for private events and weddings. I was here in Woodinville for business travel and my husband picked this place to try. We ordered bread basket, marinated squid and beets salad for appetizer. The bread was fantastic with different flavors. The squid was good but the hummus at the bottom was a bit too salty. Salad was refreshing and above average. We ordered two main courses and were very pleased with the flavor balance. The salmon has a layer of crispy skin and the asparagus that came with it was so juicy and flavorful. The duck is tender and the farro (?) at the bottom has a subtle, complex and savory flavor, which I highly recommend! There is a small hiking trail behind the compound of the restaurant and we took a short walk after dinner. You can even see Mt Rainer across the street through the lavender farm!

Really enjoyed the good and service. We arrived early and decided to have a drink at the bar, curated By Isaiah Ostonal. He was passionate about the drinks he created. It was amazing to hear how involved each ingredients takes to make the cocktail. Both our cocktails were delicious! A great way to start the evening! Our meal was delicious too. We started off with foie gras and gnocchi. Both very tasty and very rich. We decided to share the 16oz boneless wagyu steak. This was amazing! Melt in your mouth amazing! We ended up not having dessert because we were so full from all the delicious comfort food. A great place to dine especially visiting Woodinville.
