"Behind the Menu"

Where Frogs Bark

Barking Frog is named after the Native American use of the frog as a symbol of abundance. Storytellers say, when frogs bark, it’s a sign of peace and harmony – our wish for every guest who walks through the door. A large circular table surrounds a fireplace where guests gather all year round for a meal or one of our special Winemaker Dinners. Our menu features a delightful blend of seasonal ingredients, crafted into exquisite dishes that highlight the rich flavors of the Pacific Northwest.
