    Overall a good experience-- I had the Asian stir fry and asked them to omit the jicama, but it was included. It tasted great anyway. Both friends that joined enjoyed their meals

    This was the first time we've had breakfast/brunch at Hugo's and we were spectacularly delighted. We were meeting friends from out of town and we all enjoyed our choices. The hardest part was deciding from the extensive menu (we could also choose items from the all-day menu). I had their pumpkin pancakes (delicious and light as air), my daughter customized an omelette, my husband always loves the Chinese chicken salad, and our friends raved about the cinnamon swirl French toast and a creative egg scramble. We also appreciate the outdoor seating surrounded with greenery and the always-attentive and personable wait staff. ps Don't miss their horchata latte!

    We were traveling and staying at a nearby hotel. We decided to try this place as vegetarians. The food was not earth shattering but as a vegetarian it is hard to find a chef that truly understands. So. having options was a nice change and the smoothies were good also.

    I have been enjoying Hugo’s for over 20 years and am always happy with the setting, service and food quality. I took some family members from out of town last night and while they enjoyed the restaurant, they felt their food was under seasoned. I think the health conscious menu is sometimes under appreciated. I love it!!! And will continue to patronize.

    Hugo’s has been around for unpteen years. At one time it was known for its excellent food and service at a terribly reasonable price. Today it has surpassed whatever level of excellence it is achieved over 30 or more years. You want something a little different? Just ask for it. You’ll get it. Do you want to avoid salt or something else? No problem just ask for it. You want to sit a little longer and schmooze, no problem. This place is a rare gem in a land of expensive food, questionable service, and time limited tables.

    Recently, moved to the area. Searched for GF and vegan friendly restaurants. They didn’t just have 1 or 2 options but many. Extensive easy menu to navigate if you are GF or vegan! First time ordering a GF, French toast dipped in rice milk. Delicious!!! Will definitely return.

    Usually have a good experience at Hugo's, but yesterday was only average. Wrong protein in the omelet and extremely below average on composition. Waited a long time for waitress to acknowledge my table for bill presentation. Difficult to send back wrong orders when you have limited time with clients. Also, had to let my client leave before finally getting the attention of the server. Realize waitstaff have very tough jobs but service should still be a priority.

    This restaurant came recommended, but we found it very disappointing mostly because of the food. We were greeted by a friendly server, but only 2 of us got our drinks refilled. Food portions were generous but sadly none of us enjoyed our food. 2 of the dishes were over cooked and very, very dry, the other 2 were flavorless. Prices are high. We will not be returning.

    The service from Marco was so exceptional that even if we had not liked the food, we would have overlooked it. He really wanted us to have a great time and went over and above. We shared avocado toast and a delicious club sandwich. Marco sent us away on this very hot day with refilled to-go cups of our iced tea that was his idea. I hadn't been to Hugo's since before the pandemic and had forgotten the breadth of the menu and the quality of the food. I will be back.

    Hugo's is a solid choice and has a wide array of dishes that should satisfy everyone, including vegetarian and vegan. Prices are a bit lofty but the quality matches. Infuriatingly, they are a place that is starting to add a 3% "service charge" to the final bill. This practice is getting so annoying and I do hope they consider not doing it going forward. A great choice in the valley, just the same.
