I went to lunch at the Frosty Mug on Wednesday. The place defines itself as an Icelandic restaurant but there are only about 6 Icelandic/Scandanavian options. They include a fish pancake, shrimp soup, gravlox, herring, stew, and fish ( I think it was Halibut). The rest of the menu is American pub fare. I had a special. Half a cornish hen with cabbage slaw and sweet potato mashed potatos for $9.95. The hen was seasoned with a barbeque sauce. It was fine (maybe half a chicken taco's worth of meat). The potatos were fine (I don't love sweet potatos). They were served skin in. The best thing was actually the large square bowl of slaw. It was pickled slaw with a little mayo. This made a nice light broth for the cabbage. The setting was quaint - open wooded coverd porch on Donnalley St. The waitress was attentive and nice. The place was clean for a pub (and decorated like one). It was about half full. There is also on indoor seating room with the bar. Kind of a Key Westish place.
I would only suggest some more Icelandic appetizers (although they probably don't sell well) like smoked puffin or whale. Maybe a little more fun with salmon. Maybe some more Viking paraphenalia. Thanks for trying. All nationalities need to be represented.
