As the exclusive evening caterer, Frog is experienced in transforming your affair into an elegant occasion through their tradition of innovation and excellence. 

Frog Commissary traces its origins to a storefront restaurant called Frog, which opened in 1973 on 16th Street in Philadelphia. Frog was recently named by Philadelphia Magazine as Philadelphia’s Best Restaurant of the past twenty-five years.  Throughout the 1980’s the Commissary, a mix of cafeteria, piano bar, table service restaurant, and take-out store, helped define what living in Center City Philadelphia was like. 

Founded by Steven Poses, Frog Commissary helped spur a restaurant renaissance in Philadelphia and became the namesake for Frog Commissary Catering. At The Franklin Institute, Frog Commissary brings this Philadelphia tradition of innovation and excellence to catered events, ranging from dazzling receptions to elegant seated dinners.
