We had heard good things about the place so decided to give it a try. Beware budgeters: all the sides are separate. I ordered the combo mini fillet and crab cake. It costs $45 and comes with nothing on the sides. I ordered sauteed spinach, which costs $12! The food was delicious and the waiter was attentive and friendly. If... more

I'd heard a lot about Hugo's and stopped in to try it on a recent visit to Chicago. I'm a bit of a steak snob, but was impressed with the New York strip that I was served. If I understood correctly, this restaurant shares a kitchen with Gibson's, which is well-known for its steak. Had a great time and would... more

We ended up trying this place after seeing how many reviews it received on Yelp. We were glad we came here. Initially we passed by it a couple time and it was super crowded, but we ended up going on Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seating. Service was great with the appetizer, soup and main dish coming out... more

I think this restaurant doesn't need any more customers. We had to wait 45 minutes and prefered waiting outside, because the lobby was very crowded. When we came back 45 minutes later our table was already given away and we should wait another 20 !!! minutes. This restaurant ruined our day and we would never come back again! more

We were visiting chicago, staying at a nearby hotel. We ate out every meal, and wanted to give this place a chance. We waited about 45 min to get a table outdoors. The service was slow, but our server was a nice guy who tried hard. The food was actually good, but what almost ruined our day was their management... more

Visited Hugo's the day after Christmas. Found the restaurant very quiet with only a couple other tables occupied. Considering how slow the night was, the service was very poor. Our server spent most of him time engaged in idle conversation with the one other table assigned to him. Thankfully a fellow server saw that we were not being taken care... more
