    We sat at the bar during happy hour. The female and the male bartender were very nice and quick with their service. Half price oysters were excellent, because we went with the female bartender's recommendation. My wedge salad and crab cake were amazing! The crab cake is so densely packed with crab, that I was very full afterwards. My friend had a big steak that was cooked perfectly.

    We were 4 people shot on our reservation. ( 6 rather than 10 as originally booked). Your front desk people were fantastic. We had a great time. As always, the food was outstanding. Hugo’s Frog Bar will always be one of my favorites.

    Frank was absolutely stellar and made me feel so special and appreciated on my birthday. Amazing fish, fantastic crab cake and drinks were strong but delicious and drinkable. Loved how they staggered the meals and 2+ hours enjoying a lovely meal without waiting long between courses. He was also gracious enough to move us into a comfortable booth instead of a corner 2-top table and really appreciated their hospitality. Will definitely go back!
