"Hugo’s is a fish house that shares a kitchen with its turf counterpart, Gibson’s. Both restaurants cater to Gold Coast socialites, out-of-towners, and anyone else willing to spend a lot of money. But Hugo’s feels more energetic, with live music, a crowd for Happy Hour at the bar, and a typically full dining room. And yes, you can order off the Gibson’s menu, but this isn’t the time for steak—go all in on the surf, whether that’s a silky piece of Chilean sea bass, or oysters and Alaskan king crab legs. And, since this is technically a frog bar, dabble in the frog legs. There’s a 100% chance you won’t like them without garlic butter, so don’t hold back." - veda kilaru
