Thank you so much for making our Wedding and Reception such an amazing and memorable event. From the moment we first set foot into The Frog and the Peach we were greeted with such enthusiasm that we both were slightly taken aback. Mind you we were just a couple of people stopping in for drinks, being that had heard so much about the restaurant. I’ll never forget when after my wife had ordered a certain martini the bartender went and found the perfect song to accompany it. He also encouraged me to try a sample of locally distilled vodka. Needless to say, from that moment we were hooked. It also happened to be that we had been searching for a venue for our wedding and reception. After much searching and no luck due to our small guest list, we were exhausted. Then we happened to look at your photo gallery online and heard rave reviews about weddings you had done in the past. We weren’t sure we could afford it but we decided it wouldn’t hurt to sit with your event coordinator. We can’t express what a pleasure it was to work with Jack from day one. He seamlessly found ways to accommodate us and work with our fairly tight budget. From that moment we first sat down with Jack, so much stressed was lifted off our shoulders. He was such a professional and ready for any curveballs the day would throw at us.
When the day finally came everything was absolutely beautiful. We had been inspired by your Garden Room to throw a “Garden “ themed wedding, and it all fit together so wonderfully. I for one was very excited about the meal our guests were about to experience. Many of our guests were coming from across the country and we were so proud that they would be having such an exquisite Frog and the Peach meal. They definitely took a memorable experience back home with them. As far as our local guests, well, we’re pretty sure you can expect to see many of them back again, as everyone absolutely fell in love with your establishment. Let us please give a special thanks to your staff. They impressed everyone with how genuine, welcoming, and on top of everything they were. They are the absolute best. As we’re writing this we’re laughing about how much we can’t wait to come back in.
As everything is all said and done we want to express our gratitude and thanks to everyone at The Frog and the Peach, with a very special thanks to Jack for making our Wedding Day such a perfect one. Shay and Nicholas Leblanc 10/3/2010
My husband and I celebrated our sixth anniversary this past Friday and decided to splurge on a special meal. It's Sunday and he and I still are talking about the most wonderful meal we savored at New Brunswick's Frog and Peach. After externing in its kitchen in 2009, it was an absolute delight to enjoy the products of that marvelous kitchen -- the five-course tasting menu and wine pairings were so right on the money, so reasonably priced ...and just so EXCELLENT! PERFECT combinations of flavors, colors and textures served by the best wait staff including Josh, a server who knows every ingredient in every dish. Thank you to the wait tem (esp. Josh) plus Chef Bruce and pastry chef Jackie for working with Betsy and Jim to maintain the same outstanding restaurant for so many years -- and for making our anniversary so memorable an occasion! We looked so happy fellow diners asked whether we were on a date! That was part of it -- but the rest was the bliss we experienced which tasting the glorious combinations of peach soup with a glass of Prosecco, a tuna in the style of Souvlaki with minted yogurt sauce and was it a Girard Chambvertin -- in a past life, I had stayed in a B&B in those very vineyards. New Portuguese wines to try, with a Vernon Valley cheese that was a cross between sharp cheddar and Manchego... YUM! As two recently re-employed people, we can right now do this kind of meal for special occasions. But $105 before tax and tip (and cocktails and coffee) for two is better than reasonable; it's a terrific value! Annmarie C New Brunswick September 26, 2010 as posted on Yelp.
I wanted to let you know that, to quote my mother, she "had a wonderful time last night, that it was an event she will cherish for a long, long time." Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the dinner, from soup to nuts. The room was comfy, even though there were 20 of us and the ambiance was lovely. I saved a couple of the printed menus for my mother as a souvenir. I have to especially complement our main server Rebecca, who was very attentive to the needs of everyone, starting with my mother's predilection for tepid water and ending with her remembering that I take my martini w/o olives. The food was wonderful - I would say that the duck (the confit salad), the tuna, and the steak were big crowd pleasers. We are a big chocolate family and many of us (perhaps 2/3rds of the assemblage) enjoyed the Valrhona molten cake. Thank you for your assistance in planning a very successful and memorable event. We will have nothing but praise for the Frog and Peach and wish you all success in your next 25 years. Bruce H. 3/29/09
Great original dishes with complex and unusual flavors that come together perfectly in your mouth! Paul S. Freehold, NJ 2/16/09
Both the pork with fois gras and the duck with gnocchi were great. Our server Rick was wonderful -just the right mix of knowledgeable and friendly. Would love to have him wait on our table again. Thanks! Susan & Howard F. Pennington NJ 2/14/09
Many thanks for the wonderful party last night. Our Trustees enjoyed it and your staff did an amazing job! The service was outstanding, food was superb, and the room was perfect. I look forward to our next event at the F&P! Leanne K. The Cancer Institute of NJ. 12/9/08
Dear Jack,
We would like to sincerely thank you and the rest of the staff at The Frog & The Peach restaurant for making our wedding dreams come to life. From the first time we visited the restaurant, we knew we had found our wedding venue!
Our meetings with you were always reassuring visits, in which you confirmed that each of our detailed wishes would be realized. From detailed placement of ceremony programs to the timing of the processional, you took everything seriously and executed all the party planning details seamlessly. When there was a slight problem in ordering the seat covers & sashes, you handled the problem effortlessly and did not even trouble us with the details.
The restaurant was decorated elegantly and majestically from the stately staircase on the balcony to the lush greenery in the garden room. Our ceremony was beautiful and sentimental. The cocktails session was lively and chic. The reception was intimate and elegant. The food was exceptional. The staff was courteous, professional, and friendly.
We are thrilled we chose the restaurant for our intimate fall wedding, and would recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for an upscale restaurant with a serene garden-like setting. Thanks again, Jennifer & Douglas M . Married November 15, 2008 at the F&P
I just wanted to let you know wha a fabulous time (once again). My husband and I had dinner there this past Saturday night. The meal was wonderful and the person who waited on us was really teriffic. She has asked if we were there for a special occasion and we mentioned it was our anniversary. When she brought out the dessert we had ordered on the plate written in chocolate it said "Happy Anniversary" and she brought us a champagne toast. It really added to the end of an already perfect evening. Every year we come to The Frog and The Peach for our anniversary and will continue to do the same. Iris Z. Princeton NJ. 9/15/08.
I do a lot of business entertaining...I mean A LOT of business entertaining. The F&P is simply the best restaurant for business lunches and dinners in the tri-state area. Firstly, the food has always been nothing short of outstanding. In the last 5 years, I have eaten there numerous times and I have never had a dish that was "off"...in fact, quite the opposite. I've never had a bad dish there, EVER! Secondly, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Third, I have paid far more in meals in other restaurants (most notably in NYC- especially re: the wine list) and have gotten half of the quality than that which I get at the F&P. The F&P is 3 for 3 on my criteria list. That is what makes it the best. Plain and simple. John K. NY, NY. 7/15/2008
“I am very interested in Jersey items. 2 reasons I come to the F&P (other than food) – bar staff wonderful and focus on Jersey items & sustainability.”
Elizabeth S. New Brunswick NJ
“We celebrated our 43 anniversary tonight. We love the F&P; food, service, etc. we wish you were closer than the 40 miles we travel to come here. Thanks for a great evening.”
R.J.B. Wall, NJ
“Enjoyable experience that is truly inspired. Wonderful service and exquisite food : -)
Madeline B. Forked River NJ
“Superb quality. Every dish, every element within the dish was spot in preparation and deliciousness. A truly memorable meal! And local!”
Fran M., East Brunswick, NJ
“Food, service and presentation is exquisite and consistently excellent.”
Michele S. Metuchen, NJ
“Special thanks to the manager who took extra care to make our friend feel welcome. The third member of our party had gotten lost, encountered a road block due to an accident, and was experiencing a melt down when she arrived almost 45 minutes late. Your manager calmed her down, offered her a glass of wine and moved us to a larger table. She continued to check-in on us all through the evening. We had a great evening out. Please extend a big thank you to your exceptional manager.”
Joan T. Cranford, NJ
“Love the Bistro Menu and cocktails!”
Jane K. Highland Park, NJ
"Again, a big 'thank you' for making the rehearsal dinner the best it could've been. Once again The Frog and The Peach didn't disappoint, and, in fact, is by far the best restaurant in New Brunswick!"
Yoly O. Milltown, NJ
"I just want to thank you again for creating the perfect evening for my husband and our guests. The food was fabulous and the service impeccable. We expected everything to be wonderful and were not disappointed. The Frog has been our favorite restaurant for a long time. It's easy to please two people, but to be able to please forty at the same time is difficult, but your chef and staff pulled it off beautifully. Pleae thank everyone at The Frog and The Peach for being what you always are, a top rated restaurant that goes above and beyond to make every dining experience special."
