Hugo's

Hugo’s is intimate, warm, fresh, and a perfect of example of what it means to dine in Portland. Every visit has been superb - from the staff, to the changing menu options, to the general concern for food allergies and preferences. The food is also incredible! Highly recommend trying multiple cocktails and deserts. This is not the place to skip either of these treats. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike. Reservations are also highly recommended as the space is small. This translates to a wonderful dining experience where the staff can focus on you and your table. Vegetarian/vegan and GF friendly although your options will be limited.

Wandered in Saturday around 6 and we got lucky to get seats at the bar. Unusual menu but we figured out how to have 4 courses for $60/person. The tomato and melon salads were very novel, the mushroom tempura amazing, and main courses of chicken and cod were delicious. Inventive desserts. Service was team-based and well-timed. A great experience so next time we'll make a reservation!

I had the food tasting here. Its very good course set!!

Wonderful contemporary American food, we go here every year for our anniversary. Staff is very friendly. The biscuits in particular are very good. The only thing we don't recommend is the beet sorbet, my fiance claims it tastes like dirt. Then again, she says that about all beet dishes. I'm more of a root guy myself and I liked it!

What a fantastic dining experience! My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the Chefs tasting menu. Each dish was well thought out and cooked to perfection. The service was terrific was well. We really couldn’t have asked for a better meal.

I'm not sure what happened to the people who rated this one star, because this was easily one of the best and most unique meals I have had. Let's start with the obvious, this isn't a "value" play. The menu is fixed price and changes daily. The staff does a great job with service, and pacing between the courses is great. They seemed to break up longer dishes with smaller plates. The portions were appropriate and I left feeling full. The actual dishes were impressively complex. Each dish seemed better than the next. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary here 10/10/18. The food was very interesting and tasted great. I tried to obtain more information about each dish from the waiter but he was extremely unhelpful. He acted pretentious when asked questions and gave 2 star service. I left him a good tip for his lack of service and friendliness. Service goes a long way and by his attitude it will keep us from coming back for awhile. Come on Portland match the service to the quality of food. Disappointed to say the least. Zack Davies

Eaten at thousands of restaurants in over a dozen country's and can't think of a worse experience. The food was very expensive and seemed like the chef was more cornered with trying something different and the "look" of the dish instead of the taste. Each dish had extremely unbalanced and clashing flavors. On top of that the service left a lot to be desired and when I called attention to my dissatisfaction with the food the staff couldn't have cared less. Never have I experienced such indifference to a dinner's enjoyment and concerns. Luckily after a few courses we had the good sense to cut our losses and ask for the check and not continue the five course tasting menu. We received very much the same attitude and responses from the manager on staff who had no desire to salvage the experience. It's unfortunate that in a town with such great food, that this restaurant leaves dinners with a bad impression of Portland food and hospitality. Skip this place and go to Fore St or one of the other great restaurants where they don't take their rating or customers for granted.
