Old-school classics are prepared well ; we like the frog legs with garlic butter , “clams casino ” (baked clams topped with bread crumbs and bacon ) and smoked salmon—heat-smoked rather than cured. Read more
My favorite happy hour venue. Dollar oysters from 3-6pm, with half price wine , you can't go wrong. Old world service & atmosphere. Right in the heart of GoldCoast Chicago.
Watch East and West Coast oysters shucked at the 32-foot mahogany bar while listening to live piano music and snacking on fried oyster sliders topped with seaweed slaw and yuzu aioli . Read more
14 oz. Ribeye (Gibsons Grassfed Australian Steak , aged a minimum of 75 days), with a half order of Sautéed Spinach (with Olive Oil & Garlic )
Best King Crab Legs in Chicago. Only the Big pieces. No tips. Sliced open so you can pull the whole big yummy piece out of the shell.
I'm from Baltimore so I'm very particular about my seafood . The seafood is very fresh and the cocktails were very good also. Overall service was great!!
Rosh Hashanah Dinner (at first there was some confusion that for each course it was pick one, but it got sorted)
The filet sliders were the hidden gem for years - only offers on the bar menu. Now they are a staple and a great way to kick off a night otherwise filled with seafood .
Happy Hour $1 Oysters : ACADIAN PEARL (EAST COAST), KUMAMOTO (WEST COAST), MALPEQUE (EAST COAST), BOSU (WEST COAST)
Rosh Hashanah Dinner Entree and Sides: Brisket , Roasted Red Potatoes , Grilled Asparagus
My favorite steak house in the world. Absolutely love this place.
You can order off the Gibson’s menu too. Desserts are huge.
Rosh Hashanah Dinner Appetizer: Matzo Ball Soup , Chicken Liver Mousse , Gefilte Fish
Shares a kitchen with Gibson 's so if you're craving a delicious steak and can't get a reservation at Gibson's, Hugo's is much more accessible. Also, save room in your stomach and fridge for dessert .
Chicken noodle soup with a lot of freshly ground black pepper (the ultimate comfort food )
They put crab ON the swordfish . They put crab in the Mac and Cheese . They put crab in the asparagus . My waiter was an Alaskan King Crab . If you have the means, I highly recommend it. So choice.
Wonderful service! Free crab cake that was to die for, don't even like seafood . Steaks come from Gibson's, so worth the price. Again, the service there is awesome. Save room for their monster desserts
The lump crab dish and sauteed frog legs were outstanding!
Sauteed Frog Legs (Lemon butter sauce )
If you are a veg lover, ask for the grilled vegetarian entree - it's not on the menu ! Asparagus , tomato , mushroom , onion broccoli and peppers . Perfecto!
Outstanding meal!!!!! I don't usually rave, but this place is great! The King Crab Bisque was amazing!
Chicken Noodle Soup (with a LOT of freshly ground black pepper )
Rosh Hashanah Dinner Dessert : Honey Apple Cake
The crab cakes are great! Actual real lumps of crab . Not much filler. The filet is incredibly tender. And the chargrilled shrimp is well seasoned. Be sure to get a reservation , even on weeknights!

The crab cake is the best I've ever had. The frog legs aren't too shabby, either. Save room for desserts : they're humongous!
