"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. An extensive wine list, classic cocktail list and selection of impressive signature desserts accompany the menu of fresh seafood, steaks and chops. Hugo's seafood is delivered daily, earning The New York Times to praise "the fish could only be fresher if it swam in by itself.""

I had always wanted to try Hugo's Frog Bar, and my D.D. friends and I finally dined there. It was an outstanding experience. The space is beautifully appointed and has comfortable seating, including booths, which I love. On a late Friday afternoon stretching to early evening, we were pleasantly surprised that the dining room atmosphere allowed for conversation. The sounds of the casino did not invade the space. The service was stellar. Arturo is a professional waiter whose attention to detail made our dining delightful. Jason Gavin, the manager, stopped by to ensure we were pleased with everything. He also kindly answered some questions we had. The four of us shared the savory sauteed Hugo frog leg appetizer in garlic and lemon butter. We all loved the dish. The three different breads, sourdough, multi-grain, and raisin, accompanying our meal were scrumptious. Our entrees included Lake Superior Whitefish, Peppercorn Steak Salad, and Jumbo Lump Crabcake. Two of us opted for sauteed spinach with olive oil and garlic instead of mashed potatoes. Arturo graciously accommodated our substitution. The portions were huge, and we ended up with doggie bags. The four of us shared the decadent, generous hot fudge Sunday for dessert. This is a place I want to return to often.

Excellent service with extraordinary attention without being intrusive. Justifiably famous for beef we split appetizers and had a salad each. Calamari are as good as if gets with a sweet savory pepper sauce. Carpaccio is top notch. Crab cake was stellar. Salads delicious. Compliments to the bar for an exquisite Manhattan straight up. Perfect balance of bourbon bitters and vermouth. Prices are on the high side but quality is extraordinary.
