"Run by two guys named Hugo, this 28-seat bar delivers on its name. It’s also a fun place to kill an afternoon or a whole evening slurping oysters and sipping cocktails. Those seats fill up fast, so show up early or come solo to ensure a spot. The milk-washed Blame It on the Juice is one of the best cocktails we’ve had this year, lightly fruity and floral from the honeydew-infused vermouth. We liked it with the scallop aguachile swimming in a spicy green liquid that’ll bolt you upright. Or get a half-dozen Royal Oysters, which—considering they’re topped with uni and caviar—is a pretty reasonable use of $45. But it’s not all snacks and seafood here. There’s an incredible burger sporting jammy caramelized onions and melted gruyere that’s worth suggesting a name change to Hugo’s Burger Bar." - Kevin Gray
"A new raw bar in Bishop Arts, from (and named after) chef Hugo Galvan (formerly of Flora Street Cafe) and mixologist Hugo Osorio, opened in January. Look for scallops crudo served on a beautiful half-shell, ahi tuna tostadas, a daily variety of oysters, and cocktails galore. The lobster rolls and burgers are also worth a try, and best paired with one of the house martinis." - Courtney E. Smith
"A menu of varied seafood plates, highlighted by a simple but captivating ahi tuna tostada served on a double corn tortilla with a base of smooth whipped avocado and square-cut raw tuna tossed in a house garlic-soy sauce that reads like a fancier chamoy, finished with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions. The beverage program shines too—the cocktail 'Blame It On The Juice' (Tanqueray, blanc vermouth, infused honeydew, suze, and a milk wash) is a bright, summery companion." - Courtney E. Smith
"Named after chef-owner Hugo Galvan (formerly of Flora Street Cafe) and mixologist Hugo Osorio, this new raw bar in Bishop Arts opened in January. Look for scallops crudo served on a beautiful half-shell, ahi tuna tostadas, a daily variety of oysters, and cocktails galore. Start the meal with an oyster shooter, served in a ceramic shell atop a small glass with a savory and spicy mignonette. The seafood tostadas are also worth a try and pair well with a summery, clarified gin cocktail called Blame It on the Juice. The ramshackle space has cool exposed walls and an octopus painted into the dining room, which could be taken as a bit of whimsical fun or a warning." - Courtney E. Smith
