Booked a week in advance for the Earlybird timeslot, and requested there be some gluten-free options for my guest. My initial request was ignored. Maybe I should have taken that as a sign! I have eaten at Hugo's many times before over the past few years and had found the quality, portion and price very good. However, something has happened... More

I have passed by Hugo's a number of times and always seem quite busy and lively so we decided to give it a go at the weekend. Our first impression at front of house were good, the hostess was very friendly and profesional. We were seated promptly in the middle of the restaurant & given the menus. Mine had both... More
