One of the best places I have eaten and EXCEPTIONAL service! From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with a rose! Once you are seated, you are given a bread basket accompanied by butter shaped like a rose. After bread, your server comes around with a table side preparation of salad. You are offered many different options to add to your freshly prepared salad. After dinner, you are given a little cone of raspberry sorbet to cleanse your palette. The menu offers many options for an upscale dinner. We chose the “celebration scallops” and couldn’t have been more happy with our selection as they probably were the best we ever had! After dinner is cleared, you are given a hot towel to clean your hands. Lastly, a tray of chocolate covered strawberries, apricots and figs are served along side a dish of cream to dip them in. Hugo Cellars is a treasure that should not be missed!

Mind blown! Our waiter was phenomenal! Everything was so good. I wish I could include smell-o-vision for the bananas flambé, we did not get this for desert (because our belly was full from the appetizer, salad, and main course) but it smelled HEAVENLY! 20/10 recommend. Every course was on point, no exception. Drinks, appetizer, salad, main course, and chocolate covered strawberries with real whipped cream were so so good. Highly suggest anyone staying in or around Vegas go to Hugo’s for a once in a lifetime restaurant experience! I’m so glad we had the opportunity and could go!

Wonderful Restaurant! From the moment we got there till we left everything was Amazing. Loved the ambiance! The Waiters are friendly and very attentive. Food was very delicious and a nice variety of wines and other drinks. This Restaurant is a definite must if you want a fine dinning experience on Freemont Street. When visiting Vegas make a reservation and enjoy a lovely evening here. Definitely worth it!! Thank you to the Owner and Staff.

Been coming to Las Vegas for over 20 years for the AAPEX/SEMA show and have only heard that places like this on Fremont Street, in "old Vegas", put this town on the map. Outstanding service from experienced staff that are here because they want to be, not "have to be". Professional, warm, friendly, and most importantly made the world feel like a normal place again (did I mention we were in Vegas!). Every dish was excellent, prime rib tender and succulent. Ribeye was juicy with great beefy, deep-umami flavor. Salad, included with entree, was prepared table side. Time capsule experience made us want to drive away in a '66 Continental convertible with the Ratpack. Looking forward to coming back again next year. Long live Hugo's Cellar...!

WOW, what a great place to eat in Vegas. The staff was super nice and the food was excellent. Each lady dining received a long step rose placed at the table and wrapped in foil upon leaving. Each dinner is served with 2 types of bread, which I forgot to snap a photo of. A hand made salad right in front of you that the server goes over the options as he makes it. Don't let the photo fool you, it was a pretty good salad. I just happen to like dressing a little too much. I ordered the Maple Bourbon Duck Breasts. You have a verity of options to add to the plate. I chose the Asparagus along with a wild grain rice which was fantastic. What is also not pictured is the smallest of a Raspberry Sorbet Cones. This came between the salad and main course. I think as a pallet cleanse but it is a nice little touch. The desert pictured is also part of your meal. This was the White Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Figs and a small cup of Whipped Cream. It all blended very nicely and was the perfect amount of food. Leaving full, but not bloated and no need to take anything home. We threw back several Espresso Martinis which were also very good. They come in a small carafe on ice which gives you about 1.5 drinks. I believe it was $14 each. Very good deal. I could not recommend this place enough. And of course it is located in a Casino on Fremont Street so the night topped off with that whole area. I will mention for those who are sensitive. The Casino is a smoking Casino and is an older one. Not the best walks of life and not the cleanest. But it does NOT reflect on Hugo's. They were everything but that. You cannot smoke in the Restaurant. You will need to walk a minute to get to the bathroom which is located in the Casino so there is that as well. For us, not a big deal. All and all, my favorite place to eat in Vegas thus far. Maye next trip will bring us someplace else but this will be in the rotation forever.

Celebrating our 17th anniversary at Hugo's was a decision that made our special day even more memorable. The attentiveness of the staff was not only professional but filled with genuine kindness. They worked as a unified team, ensuring our evening was nothing short of perfect. My seafood trio was a culinary delight, each component cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor. My husband's steak was equally impressive, tender and cooked exactly to his liking. The unexpected anniversary cake was a touch of elegance that showcased Hugo's attention to the finer details. From the ambiance to the exquisite food, Hugo's provided us with an experience that we'll treasure for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a fine dining experience. They have an excellent team! Thank you for making the experience wonderful and unforgettable!!!

From start to finish our experience was wonderful, I highly recommend. Before we were seated each of us ladies were greeted with a red rose. Food was fantastic, I had the surf & turf & the steak was cooked on point. Scallops were also cooked to perfection. The staff gave the Birthday girl an unforgettable experience. We had chocolate covered strawberries, figs and apricots w/ fresh whipped cream and a chocolate lava cake. Whoever perpares this food and sweets is one talented chef. Go check them out, you won't be disappointed. If return to Vegas, I will be revisiting Hugo Cellar.

Amazing dinner and service. Such a quaint little place and they treat you right here. Your meal comes with a salad, bread, sorbet and chocolate covered strawberries. The cocktail prices were reasonable and very good. Get the chocolate martini. It was our anniversary and they brought us a chocolate lava cake with a little scoop of ice cream and a candle and took a picture of us and gave us a signed card from our servers. Food was really good as well. I had the petite surf and turf and my husband had the prime rib. He loved the garlic mashed potatoes and I had the au gratin potatoes. The meals came with asparagus also. Every lady gets a long stem rose. Really enjoyed this place.

Started off with a great lemon drop and beer with a super friendly bartender while we waited to be seated. We enjoyed the entire meal. There was a large and very loud party near us, this caused us to eat quickly, as it was not the most romantic conversation ever. Not the fault of Hugo's, but it happened. The salad bar was absolutely cool! It was nice to have that included and the bread and butter was yummy as well.

We chose Hugo's Cellar based off of previous reviews. We wanted more of a quiet romantic restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and we weren't disappointed. Our only negative comment is that there was a table of 4 colleagues having dinner at a nearby table and they were rather loud (especially after a few cocktails), but that is not any reflection of the restaurant. Food was perfect and we had a great time! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a higher end cozy restaurant.

Went to this restaurant for the first time for my birthday. Was presented with a rose upon entering. Food was delicious but pricey. Salad was prepared at table. Excellent service. Found restaurant to be a little chilly. Overall very nice dinner.

We're locals and we celebrated a milestone wedding anniversary at Hugo's - our first-time dining experience was not disappointing. The atmosphere is warm and inviting...a really old school high-end Vegas feel. It's a very intimate and romantic environment. And the long-stemmed rose given to every woman is a nice touch. We arrived a bit early and had a drink at the bar. Dean, the bartender, was very friendly and helpful and he mad us a couple of incredible drinks: a raspberry lemondrop martini and a "new" old fashioned. I'd say they were some of the best cocktails we've had in Vegas. At the table, Caesar (the server's helper) was very attentive and helpful in answering questions. His demeanor was upbeat without being annoying, and we had some fun joking back and forth with him about a few things. our main waiter (who I won't name & shame) was a bit of a dud. He only came by to mix and serve the salad and one other time, and he had a sourpuss expression and demeanor every time we saw him. The wine steward was helpful and had a pleasant, if somewhat dry demeanor. No real complaints, though...he hooked me up with a great wine pairing for the meal. Speaking of the meal, everything we ordered was excellent. The stuffed mushrooms, lobster bisque appetizers were great. I typically prefer lumps of lobster meat in bisque, but they put a couple of lumps on a small piece of bread floating in the bowl. Not my preference, but it was good. The salad came with lots of options on toppings, and both the ranch and vinaigrette dressings were tasty. On to the entrees: We had the beef wellington and rack of lamb, both with garlic mashed potatoes, a baby carrot, and broccolini (I think). The beef wellington was prepared perfectly with a flaky and crispy outer pastry. The lamb was very tender and flavorful, with a sauce on the side that was excellent and a perfect complement to the lamb. We didn't order desert because we were already packing food to take home with us, but they sent us an anniversary desert of chocolate lava cake which was very good. The bill for dinner and drinks came out to $300, which is a good bit more than we typically spend on dinner...even a nice one. But I can say that the experience and the food were both worth the expense. Plus, we ended up with dinner left over for another night, so it was more like $100-$125 per meal excluding drinks.

Nice quiet restaurant. We had Eric and Leslie for our wait staff. They were exceptional and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were awesome. I came for my birthday and they gave me a beautiful desert with a candle, don't forget the perfect rose given to the ladies when being seated. The tables were nicely spaced and gave you a sense of privacy and romance.

Excellent a beautiful little romantic restaurant... reservations are recommended. Service I rate it A++ took very good care of our questions and requests. Food was delicious pricy but worth it... always say pay high price as long as food is fantastic. You in a romantic mood this is a great place... or simply for a great dinner. Inside the 4 Queens Casino... A must

Great and unique experience! Their little touch with roses is very unexpected but cute! The brick walls, painting on the walls, a rose-shaped butter. salad bar adds to the unique experience! The gentleman singling happy birthday with us was too rushed, like if he wanted us out of there asap. Overall a little slow service. Another hiccup was when they forgot about my iced tea. Otherwise, a great experience and we defiantly will be back! Highly recommend!!

We have been going to Hugo's Cellars for many years now. It's our favorite restaurant and Las Vegas dining experience. We reserve a table in the romantic area and when we arrive, we are treated like a King and Queen from the moment I am handed a rose to the very end of the meal when chocolate-covered strawberries and figs are delivered to our table. A Vegas must-do if you are a foodie and you enjoy being pampered at a five-star restaurant.

Hugo’s Cellar is just the definition of amazing. Entrance After getting off Fremont street the stairs (pictured) leading down to Hugo’s is like you are walking away from the stresses of life as you step into a simplistic but very invigorating room. The greeter hands out roses to the women of your party and everyone is dressed to impressed on the staff. A quick dust check on the walls and was surprised to see everything is clean!! Table The table setting is once again simple but with the perfect lighting and silverware presented correctly. You are introduced to 3 waiters and they quickly take your order for food and wine The fooods!!! This is what gets me. They bring out appetizers and of course I went with the stuffed mushrooms which were a solid 8/10 but then comes the table side salads made right in front of you. Each dressing is house made and man it was refreshing and perfection. After salads and appetizers they present you with a tiny ice cream to clean you taste buds and then here comes the alcohol! I went with the Shiraz blue eyed boy that pairs well with a beef Wellington and neither disappointed. The steak and crust and mushrooms was a grand slam!! After this they wasn’t done with me! They brought out complimentary strawberries and it was also fresh, and delightful. The bill For 4 people I paid for the bill before tip was 695.00 USD So for the average person I recommend only taking your date on a special occasion but it is worth the experience and the amazing service and food I shall return many times.

Wonderful dinner. Great service. The table side salad is superb. Just cook the carrot a bit and it would be about perfect. Atmosphere only takes a hit from walking through casino smoke and it tends to linger.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Gene was a fabulous waiter who was the right amount of attentiveness and entertainment without being overbearing. The food was wonderful. Recommend the Bananas foster for a beautiful tableside presentation.

Hugo’s was recommended by a friend. I am very glad he did. It’s right on Fremont St. which was perfect as we wanted to experience that as well. The food was spectacular and the atmosphere was very unique. Definitely try it if looking for a great steak and a great time.

Probably the best dining experience I’ve ever had! This review may be long so let me start by saying, the best part of the experience was Jeffery, thank you for you impeccable service and professionalism. You sir made our night! We entered Hugos cellar and upon entering I received a rose (every woman does) then they took us to our seats. The atmosphere was mostly red with brick walls, and all of the employees were immaculately dressed. We then proceeded to order, to our surprise we received not only the most tasty bread basket but a fresh salad that was made right in front us, we chose the ingredients and Jeffery proceeded to make the most delicious salad, as you can imagine by this time we’re full! The entrees came out shortly after, but not before the “intermezzo” to cleanse our palates, lemon sorbet, which felt like a subtle desert before the main. We received our entrees and I have to speak on the warmth of the food because that’s something that always disappoints me but it was definitely the right temperature which I must commend. The flavour of the food was also exquisite but of course we couldn’t eat it all (I would suspect that to-go bags are quite popular there). They proceeded to pack our plates on a table in front of us and wrapped my rose In preparation for us to go. The bill came to $214 but we would have easily been ok with paying more for that experience. Thank you again Jeffrey for your expert level professionalism and your great customer care. Overall 5 stars, not a bad thing to say about Hugo’s Cellar! We will be back!

Food was pretty good, service was excellent. We had heard a lot about this place, and getting reservations short term is next to impossible. We booked this reservation a month out. Overall I'd say it was a nice experience, although it didn't live up to the hype we constantly heard about. The inside could definitely use an update. They can keep the old school feel, without the interior actually being from the old school. Golden Steer would be a good example of that. All in all, I'd say we enjoyed our experience, and may come back, but it's not a place I'd show off to out of town guests.

Food was delicious my steak was cooked perfectly and my husband got the duck which was also yummy. They do a table side service salad which is huge and delicious. This isn't like other fancy places where you pay extra for sides the sides and table side salad is included with your entree and a nice palette cleanser and small Sweets tasting at the end. They do have full size desserts to choose from at the end for extra but we were stuffed. The service was great and the restraunt was dim and romantic and the rose at the beginning was a nice touch too. We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we would definitely come back. ❤

Spent about 3-4 hours here on a Friday evening. The service was good, but it seemed like everything entree came out 20- 25 min. The food was great, I think the only complaint was that the shrimp was lacking major flavor. Drinks were good as well, expect to spend close to $100 per person.

What an amazing little gem this restaurant is. The staff is wonderful. Women receive a fully bloomed rose upon entering, a beautiful gesture. We ordered the rack of lamb and the duck. Probably one of the best meals my husband and I ever had. It is very pricey but so worth every penny!

Family and friends flew in to celebrate my 50th birthday. The service was impeccable, but other things were not. Three of the gentlemen ordered Old Fashions and none of them enjoyed them to the point that they didn't even finish them. The prosciutto covered prawns were extremely salty and I couldn't finish them. My husband asked if they could do a blue cheese crusted steak. They said they could, but what he received was a creamy blob of blue cheese. The wine was a delicious one and that was served beautifully. Over-all, it was an okay experience, and one I won't need to do again.

Loved loved loved! From the rose handed to me when I walked in to the upscale environment to the outstanding service from the staff and the deliciously prepared meals, it was a wonderful experience. It was so good I didn't even take photos like I should've.

This is truly the finest restaurant in Vegas. Old school charm, great food, unbelievable service. Small restaurant in the “cellar” of Four Queens on Fremont downtown Vegas. White table cloth, red rose for ladies, all staff in tuxedos. Incredible. Don’t leave Vegas without stopping here. Please dress appropriately.

Been coming here for years and it's always great. Very friendly staff and amazing food. The hot plate and salad are a one of a kind experience. The beef Wellington was very impressive and worth the money.

Gene makes the best bananas foster! The service was incredible! Thank you Gene and David for being attentive, friendly and awesome! Meals were fantastic and we will be coming back for sure!!

Amazing! A hidden gem. In my opinion this is a Vegas must if you are on freemont street! Seafood tower is a great way to start followed by their amazing salad prepared table side! The prime rib is perfect and our new favorite!

Our athletes came for an experience of a lifetime. Something they talk about almost 1 year later still. We made reservations last minute not knowing people make reservations months in advance. They worked with our group. Every athlete received a rose at the door! Amazing customer service.

We came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday but she became ill at the last minute so we went ahead & promised to bring her home something. My brother and his wife sponsored the event as a thank you for their stay with us as they live out of town. The ladies at the hostess stand were very nice, validating our parking ticket for us, & in Hugo’s well known tradition since they opened in the mid 70’s, presented my sister in law with a beautiful long stemmed rose. We were seated at a nice 4 top immediately. The party next to us were drunk, slurring, & laughing loudly. Annoying, but we decided we would stay put & tolerate it. That’s not the restaurants fault. Our service team consisted of Ahmad, Pete, & 2 others. I can’t remember their names but one was the Sommelier, & the other was a big guy who ran the table side gueridon cart. He looked a little disheveled with an untucked shirt, but he was a funny guy. He handled our salad choices smoothly & later impressed us with his mastery of the cherries jubilee presentation. Pete was attentive to our needs, & Ahmad took our appetizer order. Our Sommelier chose a very nice bottle of J cuvée sparkling wine. We appreciate the fact that he chose something that was a great match with our appetizers, & not too pricey. The crab cakes were outstanding, seasoned with just the right combination of spices, not too much breading, which is the biggest disappointment of crab cake aficionados everywhere. The remolade sauce was superb, a touch of Coleman’s mustard and red pepper were detected. Unfortunately, the escargot’s were disappointing. The concept was great; (puff pastry & the cast iron dish presentation) the execution not so much. If there’s one thing that personifies escargot, it’s that garlicky parsley butter. Hugo’s butter had neither. I tasted some paprika but that was all. In fact, I’m guessing that the butter was actually a blend of drawn oleo & butter because I detected no milk solids in the blend, & the butter flavor just wasn’t there. It was oily & bland. The entrees were ordered, & our Sommelier again flawlessly presented a wonderful house Shiraz that he chose for my sister in law to accompany her rack of lamb. What a perfect match. My brother ordered the filet mignon medium rare, & I ordered a NY Strip charred medium rare. Ahmad suggested the potatoes au gratin. They were beyond excellent, both in presentation, texture, & flavor. Both steaks were the perfect temperature, & both had a wonderful aged flavor. My NY steak wasn’t charred at all though, in fact, the filet had more char than the NY, but I don’t like sending food back so I ate it & I enjoyed it. The rack of lamb was tender & flavorful too. The accompanying bearnaise & au poive sauces were just ok. I think they may be from a package. They certainly weren’t made to order. Back to the dessert course. I mentioned to the sommelier that my wife, whose birthday it was, wasn’t in attendance & would he please cancel the whatever it was that they do for birthdays? He said ok, but something got lost in communication & out came our server, presenting a piece of lava cake & ice cream with a lit candle. It was a little awkward, but we had fun with it, softly singing the birthday song to my wife & blowing out the candle as the phone video was recorded for my under the weather wife to view when we got home. The cherries jubilee were fantastic, & so were the complimentary chocolate dipped strawberries that were presented. I had a cappuccino which was warm, not hot, & a little bit too sweet for my taste. Pete, our assistant server, was awesome. He appeared as if on cue & our sommelier was attentive, getting me a replacement napkin for me without being asked when I accidentally dropped mine. Ahmad, the big guy team were pro. Overall I give Hugo’s 4 stars. The small things matter when one is paying this much for a meal, & Hugo’s, while good, didn’t quite meet our high expectations last night.

Excellent dining experience. Best service we've had at a restaurant in years. Everyone from the host, the sommelier, the waiter, and the rest of the team were friendly and extremely attentive. The details here make the difference. A rose for each lady, sorbet to cleanse the palate between servings, and a hot hand towel to clean your hands were wonderful touches. The food was just as good! Special thank you to our waiter, Art. Can't wait to go back.

This place is a 10/10. They really made us feel special for our honeymoon. Sam and Dave were awesome servers. The food was spectacular, and the complementary strawberries and figs where a wonderful touch.

This is classic Vegas steak house. The food is always on great and the service is even better. Love how they give the ladies roses. Most servers have been there for many years, which says a lot. The hot rock plate is my favorite as well as there raspberry lemon drop martini. Roxanne is my fav! 1st choice for a special occasion and downtown is the place to be!

Amazing atmosphere, service by Frederick,sommelier by Art, and food. Rose at entry for my wife, table side custom made salad with each entree, complimentary sorbet to clear the pallet, and complimentary chocolate covered strawberries. Amazing overall and a must when in Las Vegas!!!!

What an absolute gem of a fine dining restaurant. I'm just some yokel that decided to come here for my birthday tonight but the absolutely fantastic service, food, and entire staff was absolutely platinum! Excellent drinks, tableside salad, and main course (Try the veal with the au gratin potatoes)!

The food at this restaurant was quite enjoyable, and the service was outstanding. Given the high praise we had heard about this establishment, securing a reservation on short notice seemed nearly impossible. Fortunately, we managed to book our table a month in advance. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, even though it fell slightly short of the constant hype we had been hearing.
