The Bistro at Frogtown Cellars

We have been visiting the Bistro & Frogtown since we moved here 6 years ago. The food is fantastic and the views make me feel like I’m in Italy again. Love the dry red wines and will continue to come here for years to come!

Always a great experience enjoying excellent wine with fun food. We normally get the cheese tray each visit. The pizza has fabulous crust. Use nice greens in all their dishes. The view and wine are worth the visit.

Delicious food and wine

We decided this time to have lunch at Frogtown Cellars. The view from the outside patio is beautiful overlooking the vineyard, far away you can see the Three Sisters Winery. It was mid-week, so not very busy, on our side of the patio a table of four, our table of two, mid lunch another table of two arrived, the food was good, the service friendly but very inattentive, we had to go to the bar to have a bucket to cool down our white wine, also tables should be cleaned when customers leave on a timely manner. A very friendly dog came under our table to be petted. Some items on the menu were not available on Thursday, why??? Overall food and wine prices are too expensive compare to other wineries.

We were quickly greeted and seated at a perfect table outside on the patio (shade requested due to my wife’s Scottish roots and tendency to burn). Brandy the resident pup greeted me and slept by my side throughout lunch too. The charcuterie board and flatbread pizza were great and our wine flights were excellent. The staff was attentive and took very good care of us. Very enjoyable experience.

I had the worst experience for a pre wedding lunch yesterday that actually left me in tears. I couldn't really deal with it at the time and was going to contact the manager later. Now I'm realizing that it WAS the manager/co-owner, Cydney Kritzer, who was so awful. So I guess there is nothing to do but alert you all to stay away from this place. Bear with me because it's going to take a minute, but people should know about this horrible woman. We had a group of 12 who were going to meet there for an early pre-wedding lunch. This group was to include the mother of the bride (my sister), the bride's grandparents, and other cousins and relatives coming from multiple states. It was supposed to be a relaxing thing to do to start our day while the bride and bridesmaids got their hair done. On open table you can only make a res for 8 people. So we made one for 8 people and one for 4 people, hoping we could at least be near each other. Then just 2 weeks before the wedding, the mother of the bride had a major organ transplant surgery in Atlanta and had some complications. She was trying so hard to get healthy enough to at least get out of the hospital for one day and make it to the wedding. As of that morning, she was still in the hospital. So obviously she couldn't make it and my parents stayed with her. So back to lovely Cydney at Frogtown. We checked in and let them know we would only have 9 people because 3 couldn't make it. She was livid. She was aggressively gathering menus in a huff and fussing at my husband for not letting her know. Um, seriously? She at that time was unaware of the specifics but her reaction was over the top ridiculous. She then takes us to the lovely patio but mumbling and complaining the entire way there to my 20 year old son who didn't understand what the heck was happening. She then proceeds to tell us that we had 2 tables for 4 instead of a table for 8/9. Um, once again what the heck is the problem? The tables were right next to each other. She started scolding us like we were her unruly children or something. "You should have let me know there would be nine people! No, you can't move the two tables together!" ... in such a rude manner while aggressively throwing menus on the table. Keep in mind, we had barely said 10 words to her, no complaints, just explaining that we were going to be 9 instead of 12 and thinking that would be good to let them free up a table! By that time I had had it. She is fussing away and I finally said, if this is so much trouble, do you want us to leave? We can go somewhere else. She barked back with a snarl - "I'm seating you, aren't I?" I tried to explain the situation with my sister and why 3 were not coming. She was either not listening or didn't give a crap. I was stunned. I was already an emotional mess from all that had been going on with my sister, trying to hold the bride together because her mother couldn't be there, it was a lot. So she left and I'm sitting at two separate tables trying to talk to them from afar, when we had come all that way to spend time together. I starting crying and couldn't stop and had to excuse myself to the bathroom. Our waitress came, she was very sweet. The food was ok. The wine was ok, but I basically spent the meal fighting back tears and trying not to bum out the rest of the group who were also emotional and now pissed and annoyed. We asked the waitress if we could move the tables together, she said - sure no problem! So at least we got to sit together. Our 9th person ended up not being able to come because she was helping with last minute bride errands. But WOW . What an unnecessary crazy level of rude over literally NO BIG DEAL! She was not inconvenienced at all. You never know what people are dealing with, so I usually try to cut people slack, but the rudeness was so hateful and just went on and on. And keeping in mind that people may be dealing with things you don't know about goes
