Food and service were very good. The salmon portion was very small and very overpriced.

GLUTEN FREE!!! For anyone struggling to find a restaurant which offers a complete menu of items from Cubano sandwiches to steak and mashed potatoes, this is your place. We dined at Hugo’s to celebrate a birthday and everyone in our party is dealing with celiac disease. It was a treat to be able to order appetizers without worrying, as well as a host of entrees. If you have dietary restrictions, try Hugo’s for a great meal.

YAY So so happy, Kerri. Thanks for dining with us and taking the time to leave such a nice review. Love to have you back always!

Foodie friend and I each came for hamburgers. The french fries were great, and the Caesar salad had a delicious dressing. Unfortunately, we didn't like the burgers. They were too dense, too compressed, with no taste. I think they should use beef that's 20% fat. Ours didn't have enough fat to be thick and juicy. Too bad. I'll try something else next time.
Hugo's Studio CityResponded on 14 October 2024
Thank you so much for this feedback! We are using grassfed beef, but that shouldn't mean they're not tasty. Appreciate you taking the time to share. We will pass on the info to our GM and chefs.

We've been going to Hugo's for years. The food and service are consistently good and the staff are always very pleasant and accommodating. Be warned, if you order a salad with added salmon the additional cost is over $20. Neither the option to add salmon nor the price are listed on the menu. When we brought this to the attention of the manager he was very accommodating and gave us a partial credit. He that said we were not the first to complain.
Hugo's Studio CityResponded on 25 September 2024
Thanks for the helpful feedback, Joseph! And thanks for bringing this to our manager's attention in real time. Hope to have you back.
