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. Beautiful private dining and events spaces available.

    Hugo’s was fantastic. The sweet chili fried calamari is very good and unique. Different from your usual fried calamari but in an amazing way. Crab cake was delicious. I had a 14oz filet medium rare with twice baked potato and creamed spinach. A free birthday cheesecake dessert. Two thumbs up five stars!

    Food was very bland and flavorless to be honest. Not enough chat or salt or seasoning on the steak. Not enough dressing in the salad. Not enough bacon and glaze on the sprouts.
