    We've been going here since Rivers opened. Hugo's menu has selections for every palate. Run don't walk to Hugo's Frog Bar. It's part of The Gibson Restaurant Group, if you know you know.

    We went for Mother’s Day and had the frog leg appetizer, which was terrific. Followed by crab cakes and key lime pie (large enough for the whole table). Everything was excellent and the service was top notch. Highly recommend.

    All good The hostess - tall short haired African woman was surly and unaccommodaring. She should not be client facing. She is a mistake for the hospitality business and this brand.

    Always a big fan of Hugo’s at Rivers, I live in Naperville and that location is 1 mile from me but I choose this location due to the great manager, staff and attention to detail.
