I was looking for a unique restaurant to take my daughter to celebrate her 18th birthday. I just HAPPENED to find Le Fou Frog and I am SOOOO glad I did! The whole experience was perfection. The food, the service, the ambiance... it was just perfect. I can't wait to go back on my next visit to Kansas City!! (The pommes frites!! Get them. ????????)

In the words of my husband “great drinks, great service, great food.” But actually, this is probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in Kansas City. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. The service is incredible and they really do go above and beyond. My husband and I both had different specials but the food was incredible

It was our Anniversary dinner. We had too much food, yet it was all excellent. Steak au Poivre, Scollops, Steak tartare, French onion soup and a nice wine. All were outstanding.

How isn’t this place 5 stars?! WOW. My date and I had an amazing experience from the atmosphere, the food, and our incredible waitress Danielle. She was such a treat and very knowledgeable of all the products. I will definitely be coming back!

I never get photos of anything here because I’m always too busy eating it all. I get the escargot every time as a non-negotiable and save my roll to dip in the garlic butter sauce from the shells. It’s hard to go wrong here. The creme brulee is always cooked well, with a nice crusty shell. The outdoor patio is super cute on nice summer days, while the inside ambiance remains classic.

Excellent Ftench bistro atmosphere Relaxed but service is formal. Staff is well trained interesting menu. Always fun. Need reservations. Can be busy Even in mid week

Great date night spot! I've been here a couple times now and both experiences were superb. My whole meal was fantastic. The escargot was so buttery and delicious. Highly recommend! Service was great too!

I'm so over the expensive "nice" restaurants as of late where your sides are not included and an up charge to your already expensive meal. At Le Fou Frog that is not the case. This restaurant has amazing cocktails and an incredible menu that changes regularly. The escargot is the best in KC. The cutest atmosphere. The perfect spot for an amazing date night in KC. Staff is awesome! Could not recommend more!!

Went to Le Fou Frog for our anniversary and everything was excellent - exciting food, old favorites, attentive service, and romantic atmosphere! Photos of some of our food attached.

TL;DR - I would probably give FF 4.5 stars, due to a few small quibbles that kept it from true 5 star status, but what a terrific special occasion or date night restaurant! It was my boyfriend's birthday so I wanted to do something special. I got us reservations for a Thursday night at 6 PM. Ultimately we could easily have gone without one but I had reservations at a fancy cocktail spot after so wanted to make sure we had plenty of time here. Note: it got much busier around 7. We were seated right away in one of their adorable (and romantic!) booths. It is a pretty small restaurant but it does have an extremely French vibe and the service reflects that as well. It took a few minutes for our waitress to come over (I was a little annoyed at first because I hadn't eaten much that day to ensure I had an appetite but a non-hangry individual would not have complained). Anyway, she came over and asked about drinks. BF didn't get anything (he wanted to pace himself on a work night) and I got the Peach Refresher, as the DD. It was basically an elevated Shirley temple and I enjoyed it. After that, our waitress came over with the chalkboard of specials and ran through at least 20 dishes, describing each one. I thought the published menu seemed short - it was. Tons of specials on site. It was extremely impressive, though I could have done without the 10 min run-through. It definitely added to the experience, but again I was SO hungry that I felt a little impatient. But again, this was very French style service and it's leisurely but attentive. Not suited for the speedy American expectation! But fortunately once we put in our order, the pace picked up. On to the food! We ultimately ordered Brie en croute appetizer, Branzino special for me, quail from the permanent menu for him, and a lemon tart for dessert. Once our order was in, mercifully, they brought out bread and butter (extremely tasty), and an amuse bouche of cucumber and radish topped with an herb cream cheese and shrimp. Definitely got my appetite piqued. The Brie en croute came out maybe 5 minutes later. It was yummy, with some candied pecans and a really nice salad on the plate. As we were finishing up with the app, our entrees came out (really happy with the pacing at this point). Both of us were really happy. I could have done with skin off with the Branzino but the Branzino itself, risotto and veggies were all delicious, and there was an extremely yummy sauce on top. Though I do wonder if I would have preferred the gambas (shrimp) special. The Branzino special was just the right amount of food for me. Left just enough room for dessert. My boyfriend loved the quail (it came with 2!) and he ultimately took half of it home. While I was in the ladies', BF put in a dessert order (bday boy's choice). He ended up ordering a delicious lemon tart. Flavor was amazing though the meringue was a little grainy. The waitress brought the check on her next stop by, along with 2 homemade truffles, which was perfect since I was eyeing the clock for our next reservation. It ultimately ended up being much cheaper than I expected so happy about that! One other item that wasn't a huge deal but an odd irritant is the lights kept flickering brighter and darker through the whole meal - something was going on with the dimmer switch. That definitely took away from the 5 star rating as well. But still a highly rated experience and a restaurant I'll definitely recommend to others!
