    The food is generally very good at Hugo's. However, the soft shell crabs were very salty and somewhat inedible.

    The grouper I ordered was tough but on the flip side the halibut my wife ordered was fantastic. So it was a toss up. Service was great.

    Service was quite slow. I fear that the fact that we weren't drinking alcohol caused our server to lose interest in us. For example, we waited for more than ten minutes for dessert menus after we had finished our dinner. I ordered coffee, and had to ask two more people aside from our server for my coffee after our dessert was brought to us. Bathrooms were in terrible shape for both men and women. This is far too fine a restaurant for anything less than clean and well appointed bathrooms. I am very said to write this, for Hugos is an old favorite of ours. I have had many memorable and special occasion meals there over the decades.

    I've been going to Hugos for almost 25 years. Never had a bad meal. Best experiences have been when Frank Gomez takes care of our table. He's the best waiter in the city. I've had the pleasure of working with him going to back to his days at Nicks's Fish Market. Ask for Frank and your dinner experience goes from good to GREAT

    We had an early dinner at Hugo’s, and it was so great! The frog legs were delicious, the oysters were incredibly fresh and the spicy tuna roll was great! Our waiter was so friendly, attentive and thoughtful. I will definitely come back next time I visit!

    Delicious drinks and meal with huge portions…enjoyed unique flavor of escargot, although toasted vienna bread was a little hard. Crispy chicken with tasty potato salad was excellent and more than enough for two. Sweet potato and brussels sprouts sides were outstanding and definitely meant for sharing! Great prompt and friendly service. Will definitely return.
