    Whenever I come home and visit from Palm Springs, CA, my go-to place is Hugo's Frog Bar. in downtown Naperville, IL. Today we had Trent as a Server, he was very informative, attentive and hospitable. The crispy fish sliders were excellent and I love that there were so many side choices. I went with the mixed fruit, again, fresh and a great mix. Here's what I like the best - it's the way the Servers play off each other. Water being poured, dishes being picked up, someone serving the meal, coffee refill, etc. They are all in sync. It's really nice to see and the restaurant side was not overly noisy, it was moderate. With my mother wearing hearing aides, it was nice to have a conversation with her and not yell across the table. Great job Hugo's! I'll be back in the spring.

    Service was outstanding as usual. Recommendations were very thoughtful, especially the wine. Learned that the manager has been there 17 years working his way up. This really demonstrates the level of commitment by staff and ownership. The entire staff are engaging and work hard to make you feel at home. It’s an old building but extremely clean. Even the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Suggestions: I really don’t have any.

    The food was fantastic! From the incredible crab cakes to the Beef Wellington for me to the shrimp and lobster spaghetti for my wife. Absolutely delicious. Our daughter commented that the scallops that seemed to replace the older dish of scallops and pork belly was very spicey and definitely preferred the older dish with pork belly. ( She gave me a bite and the spice was close to the point that it was hard to taste the scallop through the spice) Our son-in-law had the lobster roll which he thoroughly enjoyed. Desert, we had cheese cake and figgy pudding. Cheese cake was very good, the figgy pudding cake was out of this world delicious. The service was Excellent. Highly recommend Ramseys! We will be back.
