Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House opened its doors in February 1997 in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, next to sister restaurant Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse. Over 20 years after owners Hugo Ralli and Steve Lombardo set out to open the city's finest seafood restaurant, Hugo's continues to be the destination for premier east and west coast oysters, crudos, frog legs, lobster and seasonal fish and shellfish, in addition to Gibsons Prime Angus and Gibsons Grassfed Australian steaks. Beautiful private dining and events spaces available.

Our waiter, Sal, was top notch and his recommendations were amazing. Definitely would recommend him to enhance your dining experience. One dessert was enough for 3-4 people.

We ate there before going to the Andrea Bocelli concert in Rosemont - so we ate at the Des Plains Hugo restaurant. I have been to all 3 of the Chicago restaurants and this one was just as delicious as the other two. Our meals were yummy and the service was excellent! Thank you Hugo’s 🤓👍👏!!

The food, service, and overall experience are usually fantastic and a good value. However, after today’s visit, I recommend reconsidering if you plan to dine here with a larger group. We were a party of eight, and the seating was extremely tight—not just at our table but in how closely spaced the tables are from one another. It was uncomfortable having to constantly shift chairs or stand up to let other guests pass. While everything else was top-notch, the cramped seating definitely detracted from the experience. I expected more thoughtfulness in accommodating larger groups for such an upscale restaurant. That said, if you’re dining solo, as a couple, or with a small party, you’ll likely have a fantastic time. I hope Hugo’s reconsiders their seating for larger groups because today could have easily gone from simply a good experience to a truly excellent one.

Everybody just got order of the fillet sliders which are fantastic different sizes and we split a chop salad. It was a great meal.
