| - Old Vegas Feel...I got it here, WITH great service!
My love made a reservation here before our Smiths Center engagement...convenient location, with 4 1/2 stars on Yelp Reviews...sign me up please!
I was greeted with a red rose and accompanied by three handsome gentleman...how can a girl not be over the moon already? Two of our friends had arrived just ahead of us and were already sipping on old fashioneds...I am not an expert on cocktails by any means but these old fashioneds were not the best I have tried.
All the staff at Hugo's Cellar, from waiter to the sommelier, John, were friendly and professional with a welcoming manner. John was wearing a small metal bowl to taste all the wine he opens for the night...what a lucky guy with such a pleasant manner. We were already in an incredible mood when Gene, the Salad-mixologist, topped it up with this engaging preparations...he's been working at Hugo's Cellar over 3 decades...patiently and kindly aqurairing our preferences for the table-side salad making. He offered three different house made salad dressings, as wells as anchovies, hardboiled egg, lettus, shrimp, onion, mushroom, tomato, croutons, blue cheese, parmesan cheese, hearts of palms, pine nuts...Gene literally brings out a cart full of ingredients and asks for your likes and dislikes. Then, he prepares and mixes it right in front of you...very freshly special.
Before our entree, we received a Raspberry Sorbet cone to cleanse our palettes. For the entrees, my love and I shared the Trio of Seafood, and a Filet mignon. The seafood came with sweet potato, white and green asparagus, stuffed tomato, Crab cake, Shrimp, and Sea bass...the taste was all alright, but the presentation was lacking in some parts. Our Filet was cooked perfect for our request, and came with mashed potato, asparagus and a duo of mushrooms...it all tasted average. We also received a complementary dessert tray with chocolate covered strawberries, dark chocolate covered apricots, and figs with white chocolate...there were all good but not so stimulating as to promise our return visit...but we loved Hugo Cellar's wine selections and services from the beginning to end...
I am grateful to Hugo's Cellar for keeping the old Vegas setting...adoring the ladies with a red rose, and the authentic service...but not so much for the food and presentation.
