Restaurant Review

The Frog and the Peach is one of the best New Brunswick fine dining restaurants, an area known for very good restaurants.

This is a high end restaurant with an energetic atmosphere frequented by a trendy crowd. The antique bar is decorated with hanging tubular fabric and fixtures that glows as a tribute to the building’s industrial past.

It a great place for a date or romantic dining experience. If you prefer a more quiet, cozy seating area, ask to be seated on the second floor where you can also view the crowd below gathered at the attractive bar.

The Frog and the Peach restaurant recently celebrated their 25th anniversary in July, 2009 but has managed to keep up a fresh face with a menu that is well prepared using sustainable farming and fresh local ingredients.

Owners Betsy Alger and Jim Black are considered in using sustainable ingredients, well before it was in vogue.

Executive Chef Bruce Lefebvre oversees the kitchen and a creative seasonal menu of French-influenced American and Mediterranean food.

The Frog and the Peach's wait staff is professional, knowledgeable, and well attended.

They are child friendly and offer an extensive children's menu that features a "Introduction to Fine Dining".

They offer outdoor dining in The Garden Room with seating for 50 that can be temperature controlled for a winter luncheon or a summer evening. This semi-outdoor space is heated and enclosed in the winter and open in the summer to expose it to the warm weather breezes.

During the busy periods of dining, parking is a nuisance. The restaurant offers valet parking that can crowd the front entrance and can take up to fifteen minutes to retrieve your car.

They are open on Thanksgiving Day serving a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner with roasted free range turkey.
