    Service was mediocre. Our server was obviously new although she was nice. It took over 30 minutes to get a bottle of wine. Wine was very good - Gruner Vetliner. Raw oysters are very good. Mussels were great but frites/fries were overcooked and not fresh. Caesar salad is excellent. Brussel sprouts are good. My wife got walleye which was excellent. The scallops entree was below average. Chocolate Mousse is a great dessert more than enough for the three of us and they comped for my son's bday. When you spend almost $500 I don't expect average food or well done fried (not fresh). I'll try again sometime maybe when it's not so crowded.

    Service was terrible, Brittany, but we love Hugo’s overall. Been there no less than 30 times, but worst service ever this go around. She disappeared for 30 minutes and another waiter came by to take our food order. After that, she resused to even check on our table, we had to call her no less than 3 times by name to get more food, another bottle of wine, and the check. Go to Hugo’s, just don’t get Brittany as your waitress.

    Service was awful for a Gibsons/Hugos experience. Bread was good, drinks were great, oysters meh, steaks and salads good. 400$ check and we had to ask for bread, silverware, and more cocktails.

    When my dinner date received her steak it was burnt top and bottom. The waiter appeared to look right at it without acknowledging the mishap. We were not asked once about our meal. The waiter quickly ran off in hope of avoiding us. My date said she will never accompany me to another dinner at Hugo's Frog Bar..

    Great overall experience, my girlfriend and I went for an anniversary and the attention to detail in the fact that we were celebrating an occasion was noted by not only our server, but the hostess, and other staff members too. The server was very personable, friendly, and was knowledgeable about the menu. Great ambiance, great time, would go again for another special occasion.

    First time there. Cool place. Great service. Bill was 325. Had fillet, seas bass, lobster tail, a claw , 4 glasses of wine and creme brûlée. You can eat much cheaper than that but it’s out yearly xmas dinner. Food was great. Highly recommend.
