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.

Private room for our family dinner to celebrate a birthday. Fabulous drinks, apps, entrees and sides. Desserts were HUGE and delicious. The service was efficient, friendly and outstanding. Made sure we were able to enjoy our meals with out feeling rushed but still finishing in time to get to the JB Smoove show. Visits and check ins from 2 managers. Perfect evening and definitely in our restaurant rotation.

James our server totally got us, meaning we told him we needed to relax and unwind with a cocktail prior to ordering. He understood that, he took his time and checking back in with us and then topped it off with a wonderful dessert! He is our new favorite at this location! Thank you!
