Hugo's Cellar - Las Vegas

Absolutely incredible meal. The entree came with salad made to order in front of you, bread service, a sorbet palette cleanser, veggies, potatoes, the steak itself, AND chocolate covered strawberries as a complimentary dessert. Also it was my birthday so we received an additional molten lava cake and a signed birthday card and my girl received a rose. Service was great and all that was mentioned above cost as much as just the steak at most other vegas steakhouses.

I thank Hugo’s Staff for making my 60 th Birthday an enjoyable evening . Can’t believe all these years going to Vegas and never tried before . We will be back

The food was a mixed bag. Some of it was oversalted and inappropriately pretentious. This one gave off a poor man's haute cuisine vibe. For example, their raspberry ice cream palate cleanser seemed strange and the food presentation was poor. As for the food itself, the green beans tasted microwaved and retained a very strong rubbery texture. The garlic mash could use improvement but was adequate. The flavors just didn't mix well. The Beef Wellington, thankfully, was executed at an above average level. They managed to keep the puff pastry dry and cooked the steak perfectly. The sauce accompanying the Wellington could have been more memorable.

I dined at Hugo's Cellar so you don't have to. Summary: Cons: Grossly Overpriced, Lack Lust Service, Kitschy 70s decor Pros: The Kitschy 70s decor I would say it was a worthwhile experience if it was about 40% cheaper. Anyone looking for a steakhouse experience could get a experience by every conceivable metric at one of the national chains on restaurant row e.g. del friscos, mortons, lawry's, ruth chris, flemings... You can get a MUCH better steak at almost any other steak house and probably for a better price. Also somehow the bread basket was surprising horrible. The highlight of the meal was the tableside bananas foster but that's probably because I'm a sucker for bananas foster. And as for service, you can tell most of the employee's hate their job or just don't care enough because all the guests are tourists who they'll never see again. Oh I doubt management reads these but we did have one latino server, forget his name, he's from cali, but anyway he was nice and he made a wonderful carajillo. Anyway, please take your wife or girlfriend to a nicer newer steak house and if you're out with the boys you'll have a much better meat eating experience almost anywhere else.

My husband's Escargot was burnt but they took it off the ticket. His steak was medium instead of mid rare but he still ate it. The rest of the food was very good. Enjoyed the meal.
