What User doesn't like about The Flying Toad:
We have been regular divers to this facility for many years before it became the flying toad. I like how they adapted to Covid and how the new outdoor dining area. The service personnel need better training and they need a dedicated greeting. They take many chances of unusual food combinations and I'm not a fan. I prefer the traditional tried and true when I will pay $30-45 for a duck. View all feedback. What User likes about The Flying Toad:
The food here is absolutely amazing and worth the price! I had the steak au poivre, and my family had the duck confit and rock steak with chimichurri. We also had Escargot as an appetizer, which was so delicious. The bottom was because we sat outside, it was hard to hold the waiters sometimes. The Napoleon Dessert, which we had in the end, also tasted good, but the puff pastry was so hard that we had to cut ourselves... View all feedback.

Food, service, And ambiance were amazing. Shepard’s pie and beef stroganoff were the best we had ever had. Try the crab cakes too!
