Frog Hollow Tavern

$$$$
Reservations are recommended at this stylish downtown restaurant born out of chef-owner Sean Wight’s desire to create a sophisticated yet comfortable dining and social club that highlights the freshest local and regional ingredients. Wild-caught shrimp and grits with house-made andouille and local tomatoes and pan-roasted duck breast are just two of the menu items. Soups, salads, and lighter bites are also available along with an admirable selection of wines. Exposed brick walls and dark wood elements create a warm and cozy “bar meets restaurant” environment.
