Hugo's Cellar (Four Queens)



  • Steakhouse

  • Food: Expected Better
  • Service: Just Average

  • My husband and I had a dinner at Hugo's Cellar on Dec 31. It was not what we had expected at all. What a disaapointment! It seems that the restaurant allocated a very short time slot for a dinner sitting. We came and had been shown to our table right away. We ordered drinks, and the drinks arrived very prmptly. So far, so good. But from that moment on, all had been rushed to a comical degree. The soup arrived so fast that we have not had time to finish our drinks. And beleive me, we did not linger. No one asked us to select wine to go with our meal, so I had to drink a sweet Cosmopolitan with my soup and salad, In fact, we had to remind our waiter about wine. The salad waiter arrived before I had finished my soup, so I had to rush with that course. Before we finished with our salads the main course was brought to our table. It was really annoying. The main course was huge and somewhat indifferently prepared. I do not understand why the chef decided on such a huge portion, if the customer had not been given time to eat it. It was a heavy meal. By the time we ate about half of our main course, the desert had been brought to the table. And it was a heavy desert. If we were to eat that desert we would have needed some time break between the main course and the desert. But, alas, we had to get out and free the table for next customers. Hugo's Cellar is not a cheap place, but it gives a new meaning to the term "fast food". I read good things about Hugo's Cellar, and have chosen this restaurant for our New Year romantic dinner. Well, it was a bad choice. Maybe it is a good place on a slow evening, but I will never know it because we will not go back to this restaurant. Sofia
