    The steak was not the usual great char we are used to. As a matter of fact last couple visits were disappointing. Service always good. May reconsider future visits.

    Juan was an excellent server - very attentive and surprised us with our favorite anniversary dessert! Jason Gavin- the manager came around to every table and was extremely friendly and asked how we were enjoying the food and service! He extended his business card for any future reservations! He even held our food for us so we could pick up after the show! We enjoyed the show and told Jason we would return to this Hugo’s for future dining because it was a very cozy Hugo’s with great food and excellent service!

    Always great service and delicious food. They don’t skimp on the bar drinks either. The Caesar salad with medallions cooked perfectly was a great late night choice for me. My husband got the prime rib sandwich and there was nothing left. Attentive server and staff. I have yet to have a bad experience here and we are border-lining on being regulars.
