Chicago's #1 destination for oysters, fresh fish, Gibsons Prime Angus steaks, legendary desserts, and exceptional service. “The fish could only be fresher if it swam in by itself.” - The New York Times 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. An extensive wine list, classic cocktail list and selection of signature desserts accompany the menu of fresh seafood in the lively bar, dining room and seasonal outdoor patio. The New York Times has praised the restaurant saying, “The fish could only be fresher if it swam in by itself.” In 2018, USA Today named Hugo’s the top seafood restaurant in Chicago.
