The story
Barking Frog sits in Woodinville, Washington — the heart of the state's wine country — and has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, a recognition that speaks directly to the seriousness of its cellar and its commitment to pairing great American and Pacific Northwestern cooking with exceptional bottles.
The Pacific Northwestern style that defines Barking Frog is one of the most distinctive regional cuisines in the country, drawing on the extraordinary larder of the Pacific Northwest — its seafood, its forests, its farms. That regional identity, combined with broader American sensibilities, shapes a menu built for both lunch and dinner service.
A Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It signals a wine list of significant depth and breadth, carefully curated to complement the food on the plate. For a restaurant in Woodinville — a region that has quietly become one of America's most compelling wine destinations — that credential feels entirely at home.
