"the sign for hugo 's promotes their food as healthy and gluten-free. if I remember correctly, words like tasty do not appear on the sign, and I fear that this can reflect the desires of the restaurant. fifth we went to the brunch, each order different entrees and most ordered various next-courts as well. none of us was thrilled with our food. were small, aromen mute to the point of non-detection, textures were monotonous (soggy is a favorit) and even the coffee, well presented in a monstrous French presse with a sad half centimeter floor on the floor, was weak. our server was best and amiable, but responsible for more than twenty customers and the job seemed overwhelming them. after long delays the entries arrived at too much different times, often separated from their garnishes. (eggs, for example, without the ordered hollandaise arrived; salat without the desired speck; in both cases the articles were apparently ready, but the server needed to recollect them.) at the end of the meal we even have the wrong bill. the menu offers several vegan and gluten-free choices, clearly characterized so that if they can't find such items in restaurants elsewhere, I suppose that would be an oasis of the art. However, it doesn't do much to enthuse someone who loves food in general or these foods in particular. it really seems to be a restaurant for people more enthusiastic about the things (or the absentness of the ingredients) than about eating. despite its modest services, the prices of hugo are somewhat expensive (about $30 per person for our brunch inclusive control and drink money, with two dressed and without alcoholic drinks.) hugo 's is best about its destination and the brightly illuminated room is charming, but also with the food constraints it offers, I think most potential chicks could better."
