    Le Fou Frog is a cozy neighborhood place. Service is attentive, the beverage program had nice offerings for our family, but we found the food to be lacking. The foie gras appetizer had very little foie & was completely overwhelmed with other sweet flavors, fries were soggy, baked brie was mostly puff pastry, and my squab was extremely overcooked (MW+). The food we received fell short of our expectations of classic French fare. However, the Paris Breast was nicely done and we enjoyed the Creme Brulee.

    Le Fou Frog has to be up there in my all-time best meal I've ever had. My wife and I came here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and we were so glad we did. The warm rolls to start off were delicious. We had muscles and fries as an appetizer. Both exceptionally good, amd dipping the fries in the broth from the muscles elevated them to another level. I chose the Dover Sole special for my entrée, my wife chose the Dive Scallops. Both were amazing. The presentation of the Dover Sole, where they debone it in front of you was unique and fun. The fish itself was imcredible and the side of risotto was almost cheesy and so good, and veggies were fresh and delicious. My wifes Dive scallops were huge, she was only able to eat 2 of the 3 on the plate. They were said to be in season and they tasted rich and delicious. The gnocci that paired with them was so good, and the veggies that they provided even included morel mushrooms. Never seen that in a restaurant before! For dessert we had a cherry pastry type dessert, I don't recall the name, but again, wo good. We also had a variety of cocktails, wine, and a beer throughout the evening, also all very unique and high quality. We both loved the inside. It takes you back in time and transports you to a different country the second you walk inside. Some of their staff are also professional singers and serenaded the entore restaurant with a vocal performance (thanks Dale). All in all, if you're considering this spot, you should go. We'll definitely be back.

    What an unforgettable anniversary dinner! Our first visit to Le Fou Frog exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. We had reserved a table for our 19th anniversary, and they had a handwritten anniversary card waiting for us, along with complimentary glasses of bubbly to celebrate. It was such a thoughtful touch that immediately made the evening feel special. Our server, Colt, was phenomenal. He was attentive without ever being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and took the time to explain each dish in detail. His passion for the food made the experience even better, and we truly enjoyed talking with him throughout the evening. We started with the baked brie and fruit compote. It was simple yet absolutely delicious. the compote wasn't overly sweet and paired beautifully with the creamy brie. My husband's lobster bisque was rich, velvety, and incredibly satisfying. For his entrée, he chose the short ribs with mango chutney, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. The meat was fork-tender and packed with flavor. I ordered a pasta dish with Truffes, and it was outstanding. The fresh truffles were the star of the dish, you could actually see and taste them, not just a truffle oil or powder. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and every bite was incredible. Then came dessert...and honestly, it may have been the best dessert my husband and I have ever shared. The Clafoutis was unlike anything we've had before. The combination of the custard, cherries, and ice cream was pure magic. To make it even more memorable, the pastry chef wrote "Happy Anniversary" in chocolate on the plate and surprised us with two homemade chocolates to take the celebration one step further. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and wonderfully romantic. Between the cozy lighting, authentic French ambiance, exceptional food, and genuinely kind staff, we felt cared for from beginning to end. Thank you for helping make our 19th anniversary one we'll never forget. We can't wait to come back!

    From the outside, it looks like just another building on the corner, but inside was the most fantastic experience of food and service. It’s got such an authentic, intimate, cozy vibe. Everything was so perfectly prepared! I was visiting for work and just randomly picked a spot. It didn’t disappoint.

    My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here last week and the staff and owners went out of their way to make sure the experience was top notch. The recommendations from the server were spectacular and the food was probably the best food I've had in Kansas City. This would be my top recommendation for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion and I couldn't have had a better experience.
