    Complimentary dessert
    Monica T.

    Well I'm deviated the price has doubled at the treasure. The food was great, ambiance was great. Service by Jeff Eddie and Vince were great. Eddie made us laugh a few times. But I'm rather disappointed at how the prices have gone ridiculous. A filet use to be $68 and now it's $120?! We use to come several times a year and now it's looking like it will be less. I'm so sad as this use to be a deal but I am sure management will say the cost of living, prices of food, etc.

    Hugo's was great from start to finish. Recommend a reservation. Service was good, quality of food was very good too. I had the sea bass & it was delicious! Great spot for a date or special event, located in the Four Queens hotel.

    This place was sooo cute it gave very old school vibes and service was great. The steak was really good and they made the salad table side. I loved the little pallet cleanse they gave before desert. I would deff come back I had a really good time here.

    I first came here over 20 years ago after I asked a Las Vegas salesman where to go for the best food in Downtown Las Vegas and Hugo's Cellar has been my go-to Downtown ever since. It has evolved from the dark restaurant with booths behind thick red velvet curtains but it still carries the vibes of the rat pack and mob deals being made over martinis and steaks. So, where to start? With the entrance, hidden behind the tables in the Four Queens and down a a dark flight of stairs. You'll see the bar -- a great place to hide and have a fantastic drink in a quiet space -- and the host stand where all the ladies in the party will receive a long-stemmed rose. Can others in your party also receive a rose? Yes, but you have to ask. The menu is classic steakhouse: steaks, chops, fish, with all the entrees around the $100-$120 mark. What makes Hugo's a better deal compared with the strip steakhouses is you're buying a complete meal. That steak comes with a salad prepared expertly by the waiter at your command, sides, a bread and butter service, bottled water, and even a light dessert of chocolate-dipped fruit. If you're truly hungry, add on some delicious lobster bisque or a dessert at the end of the meal. That chocolate cake and the cobbler are pretty delicious. Cocktails are a must with this old-school Vegas vibe and you'll receive a hearty pour and an expert touch, never fear. Stick with the classics and you can't go wrong. A dirty martini with blue cheese olives is my go-to, with an Old Fashioned running a close second. The wine list is extensive and there is a full-time sommelier who has been working there for over 40 years. Prices are high, but less markup than you'll find on the Strip. The service is spot-on, practiced, and professional with most of the waitstaff working in the restaurant for many years. Are they still wearing the old-style Vegas tuxedos? You know it. I have brought many people to Hugo's Cellar over the years -- and recommended it to many more -- and I can't recall anyone ever being disappointed in the experience.

    The bread was mediocre. The steaks were cooked perfectly but overall nothing above the norm from other steakhouses in the area especially for the insane cost compared to other places. The lobster bisque was fantastic with huge chunks of lobster. Crab cake had a ton of crab in it. The inside was very classy and fancy. The service was top notch, but some of them clearly had some character they were trying to keep up. If you're not fully invested or ready for it, then it can get very grading very quickly.

    This pains me to write this review. We have always been and still are Hugo Cellar fans. Not sure what happened, but they just were not on their a game. Just so you know we were probably the fourth guest sat when they opened. So they hadn't been open very long. When we were sad, our server was very friendly. Welcome us and like always they handed me a rose to provide to my wife. Then they sad us. They asked if we wanted something to drink very quickly and while we were looking at the menu, they brought out what they called fresh hot bread. This is probably our 20th time over 30 years having gone to Hugo Cellar. I know when they set it on the table they wanna reinforce that it's fresh that it's hot and it's great bread. Unfortunately this was none of the above. The bread was not hot, it is like a crisp bread that's supposed to have like a cheese type flavoring along with paprika. This was cold, hard crisp bread that was loaded only with paprika. Every other time we have been here we have asked for more bread. This time we each barely finished a piece that we split. The bread was lackluster. It came time to place the order. They started with the traditional table salad. Of course they start with the ladies first and the guy really isn't listening to him. He's telling each thing that's in the bowl. She says no Parmesan cheese and he puts it on anyway and he hands the plate and she goes I didn't want Parmesan cheese. He goes. Oh yes you did. You said you did, we aren't confrontational people so she took it. He didn't push back. I ordered my salad. My wife went and picked off as much as the Parmesan as she could. The salads were fresh. They were tasty. She ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. The green beans were outstanding. I ordered the ribeye with cheese on top and it was out of this world. The green beans were also great. All that we can talk about all dinner was having dessert afterwards and they're amazing Kona coffee We finish dinner they come out OK remember, we were the fourth family to be seated that night. He comes to the table. What would you like for dessert? I say we'll both start with Kona coffee and we'll get. Oh I'm sorry. We're all out of Kona coffee. You're out of Kona coffee you just opened. Oh, we ran out yesterday. This is Las Vegas. If you ran out the day before, you could easily go and get it somewhere in that amazing city. So we said OK thank you we did not order dessert and we didn't get Kona coffee. So the basic steaks were great and for the most part, the servers were polite, but did it surpass expectations like it normally does and provide that wow factor not this time. We'll have to think hard more back in Vegas than a couple months for another concert. Do we give Hugo another chance or do we try one of the steakhouses that we hear about but have never tried before. Will let you know when that happens.

    Came here with some family who's been here before and mentioned this place being one of their favorite places. For me it was my first time & was immediately impressed once we started walking down the stairs into the restaurant. Upon entering the ladies were given a rose which was a nice touch. The restaurant itself is very nice and romantic setting. The food was phenomenal l. We got the artichoke dip and added king crab which, extremely flavorful dip!! Also the table bread and butter was very good. The he table side salad you basically select everything you want was a hit. Also very much enjoyed the little raspberry sorbet palette cleanser they give before your entree, haven't been to a restaurant that does that but I loved it. I got the petite surf and turf which was perfect for me. Everything was delicious and would definitely go back! Definitely on the pricier side but well worth it

    I had a really great dinner at Hugo's Cellar. The food was excellent overall -- the tableside salad was fresh and fun, and the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Service and atmosphere felt classic Vegas in the best way. The only miss of the night was the Old Fashioned. It was honestly one of the worst I've had extremely strong and lacking balanced flavor. It's a shame because without that drink, this would easily have been a 5-star experience. I'd absolutely come back again, just skipping the cocktails next time.

    What a nice and memorable dining experience at Hugo's located inside the 4 Queens at downtown Fremont st! The service was excellent and the table side prep dishes were amazing! The decor reminded you of a "Rat pack" theme that time forgot and the red brick walls gave the restaurant an even more old school but classic look. Cheers!

    Filet Mignon with mushroom risotto, carrots and green beans
    Stacey J.

    The service is impeccable! Everyone was friendly, helpful, attentive but not overbearing. The ladies start off the night with a and we were quickly served our starters that were part of the entire meal. We were asked what wanted to drink first and had various wait staff who all specific duties and did them well and with pride. I got a filet minion, I think the middle was cooked to perfection, maybe the outer edge was over done but the flavor was good, the mushroom risotto was flavorful and cheesy (could have been hotter for my taste), and that nights carrots and green beans were a nice pairing. The side table salad was fun and had options for toppings that were not on my standard salad list and they were fantastic (looking at you pine nuts!). We didn't have room for the fantastic looking deserts but did partake in the fig, jam, chocolate covered strawberries and creme that came with our meal. Be ready for low lightening and low ceiling -all to be expected. I appreciated the low volume as it leant itself to table conversation without having to yell. Was into the experience and only snapped one photo!

    Hugo's Cellar inside of the 4 Queens hotel and casino is truly a one of a kind, old school Vegas steakhouse! Born and raised in Vegas I've been to more steakhouses than I can count, and this is truly one of the best that still does it old-school style! The service is unmatched from the moment you walk in you feel like you are the one and only VIP in the room. Every lady is given a beautiful long stem red rose upon arrival then you are sat at your table with a team of servers that are literally top notch! Every single thing from the craft cocktails, table-side salad, outstanding steaks, and sides to the espresso and dessert was unbelievably perfect! If you have not been to Hugo's get there! This place is perfect for a celebration of any kind and top notch for a romantic date!

    This place has been around for decades for a reason! Yes it's kitschy but so cute and fun. The food was amazing! We had sea bass, pasta, the filet, and salmon. All of these were truly outstanding, as was the table side salads and sides. The chocolate covered strawberries were also delicious. Our servers were great and we all had a lovely evening and we will be back for sure! You should go at least once. It isn't cheap but it's worth it!!

    Hugo's Cellar was recommended by a co-worker so we first walked in after having dinner already and were greeted by the friendly bartender. We were pleased with was a we saw and decided to make a reservation for the next evening, Thursday! On Thursday, we arrived and were immediately seated in a booth that was separated by plexiglass from the booths on each side of us. I don't know if the plexiglass helped or hurt the acoustics because we could hear entire conversations at tables all the way across the room. To start off the service was beyond compare! We always had numerous staff taking care of our table whether it was bringing food, clearing plates, refreshing drinks...it just didn't stop! Every server was very pleasant and attentative. Often restaurants of this caliber offer a menu of only al a carte items from main entree to having to order each of your side dishes but that was not the case at Hugo's Cellar. Your entree comes with table side prepared salad...and not just any salad..., sorbet to cleanse your palate, selection of starch with your entree and fresh vegetables. My husband chose the rack of lamb and I ordered the pork loin without any sauce as I don't like sauces on my food. My husband's rack of lamb was something we have never seen served in a restaurant of this quality before. It was carved table-side and the size could have easily fed 2 or 3 people. He loved his meal. Mine on the other hand was a different story. My pork loin was extremely dry and I really tried to eat it but I guess the mistake was ordering it without the sause. When the server came by she noticed I stopped eating and I told her it was just too dry and asked if it was possible to get a chicken breast with so sauce since the chicken on the menu had sauce or gravy and she happily agreed. Unfortunately, chicken wasn't any more moist and so I left that on my plate as well but I enjoyed everything else which is the reason for my rating. Our meal was finished off with chocolate covered strawberries...a regular offering after every dinner. While my entree was a disappointment, everything else was wonderfule and we plan to return and I will be ordering the rack of lamb!

    Ask the Community - Hugo's Cellar

    We are hoping to make reservations for our anniversary in August. Our appetites are small your portions are large is there a fee to split an entree if we order an app and soup as well?

    There is not a fee to split appetizers or entrees, but I believe there is no option to share the salad bar. Excellent choice for an anniversary dinner!

    Can we split the tableside salad, or do we each have to order our own?

    Yes you can

    What is the dress code?

    I have seen people in shorts and others in suits. I would say business casual-like, to feel comfortable. But some go all out.

    My wife and I are small eaters. Can we get just the hot rock appetizers our dinner and no other entree?

    Yes, you can. There's no minimum order requirement.

    Dear Michelle R. or Dining Room Manager. My name is Doug del Castillo and I'm coming tomorrow for my wife's birthday celebration. She's fixed on King Crab Legs for her dinner. Could you please tell me if you have them available on 9-13?

    Is Hugo's cellar handicap accessible?

    Yes, they have an elevator to get from the restaurant to the casino

    Good evening. I was just trying to make reservations for a party of 12 for 2/17/22...Hugos Cellar is our all time favorite place to go while in Vegas...we are needing some recommendations on how to secure tables not together but at one time?

    I'm considering bringing my two young daughters for a special family night out. Are there options for children? May I share a plate with one as I'm it a big eater?

    It is more of an adult oriented restaurant. You can share a plate but there is s$29 fee. I am not sure if they have a children's menu. Hope this helps.

    Dress code? Reservations required?

    Where do we park? And is the restaurant wheelchair accessible?

    Does Hugo's offer a player's card discount?

    You can use your points, but it does not offer a discount.

    Is Hugo's still offering the option to bring your own wine and serve it for a corkage fee with COVID?

    Are you open on Christmas?

    We saw that they have a Chateubriand with lobster. Would they serve the chateaubriand without the lobster? Would we still have to pay the full price?

    I'm coming to Vegas alone. Can I get the Hot Rock or do I have to be with someone else to get it?

    I'm almost certain they can accommodate for one. Last time I went I ordered the seafood tower for 2 but they were able to make it for three!

    Do they currently have happy hour specials?

    I can only speak for the dining room and no they do not. They have a very small bar that may have specials but I honestly doubt it.

    Does the bar open before 5pm?

    Hours of operation is 5pm - 10pm

    Are the steaks done over flame or on a griddle?

    Over flame. They also have this amazing appetizer dish that you cook the meat yourself on a extremely hot stone.

    Is there accommodations for babies?

    Personally I wouldn't bring a baby here. I didn't see any high chairs or booster seats or any kids at all actually.

    Would running shoes, golf shirt and jeans meet the dress code?

    Fine but no shorts. It is old school fancy so the staff wear black tie. We were comfortable in jeans and dress shirts

    While in Vegas you should definitely get a nice steak dinner and Peter Luger is a great option…read more It's located in Caesars Palace alongside other good restaurants including the buffet. It definitely brings the NYC feel once you step inside. It was dinner time so it was quite busy but I feel like service in Vegas has figured it out - how to deliver fast friendly service. To start naturally we ordered some drinks that fit the vibe, classic strong drinks that went well with steak. While I am usually a filet mignon person, our table selected the steak for 2 which turned out to be a good amount for us. Plus the butter it's smothered in is amazing. For our other sides we selected the Caesar salad (fitting because we were in Caesar's :) and the crab cake (another favorite of mine). Note there are $$$$ signs so do not expect it to be cheap. But for the quality, taste and atmosphere it was worth it and I hope to visit the NYC location sometime as well.

    I came into Peter Luger Las Vegas with sky-high expectations. As a legendary Brooklyn institution,…read moreyou expect two things: iconic dry-aged beef and crisp, sharp execution. What we actually got was sluggish, absent service and a steak cooked so poorly it belonged in a mid-tier diner. ​The Service: Ignored from Start to Finish ​Rather than the quick, direct, old-school service Luger is famous for, our experience was defined by sluggish neglect. ​The Wait: We spent entirely too much time trying to catch our server's eye for simple requests--water refills, order updates, and check-ins were practically non-existent. ​The Flow: Courses dragged, plates sat, and by the time our food reached the table, the energy of the night was already gone. When you're paying top-dollar prices, waiting around while being actively ignored ruins the entire ambiance. ​The Steak: A Text-Book "Grey Band" Disaster ​"A $180+ porterhouse should have an edge-to-edge perfect medium-rare with a roaring crust. What landed on our table looked tired and mismanaged." ​The Cook: The cross-section said it all. The meat had a massive, thick grey ring of overcooked, tough beef wrapping around a tiny patch of pink in the center. It was uneven, poorly rested, or left sitting under a heat lamp while service languished. ​Where's the Sizzle? The steak arrived dull and dry on top. The iconic Luger presentation--sizzling hot butter aggressively spooned over a glistening platter--was completely absent. ​The Flavor: Because of the heavy grey gradient, most bites were chewy and dry rather than tender and nutty. ​The Sides & Verdict ​The loaded baked potato topped with a mountain of bacon lardons looked great and tasted fine, but no side dish on earth can rescue an evening when the primary steak is ruined. ​Las Vegas has one of the most competitive steakhouse scenes in the world. With options like Bavette's, SW, and Cut just down the Strip, there is zero excuse for slow service and an amateurish cook on a flagship cut. ​Skip the hype and save your money. You're paying flagship prices for amateur-level execution.

    Why isn't this establishment a Michelin starred restaurant?…read more The service is impeccable. The surroundings and staff are pleasant. We came here for a celebratory birthday for a friend and they treated us correct. Everyone had the filet and it melted as soon as we put the knife on it. I woke up to what really is a medium well steak. Not too dry and borderline a little red but it was moist. Juan Carlos took great care of us. Unfortunately they do t honor military discount.

    I hadn't been here in quite a few years and my last experience was nothing to write home about…read more A friend suggested it for dinner and I thought I would just go along since it was a group of 6 of us. This place is......not good. I'm honestly blown away by some of the reviews. The food, the service, the vibe - it was all lacking. I eat at a lot of steakhouses, so I may have higher expectations than the average diner. Service: - Our server was very friendly, but forgot about us the entire back half of our meal (we even skipped ordering dessert because we were completely forgotten about and sat there for so long after finishing dinner). - He was not well versed in handling wine (which IMO in unacceptable for an "award winning steakhouse"). He handled the wine glasses by the bowl instead of the stem and poured extremely large servings, about 4 oversized glasses from a single bottle. Food: - The steak tartare was very thick, large chunks instead of a classic fine mince. It was served with tasteless bread that had heavy black grill marks on it. Would never order again. - The calamari and brussels were both tasty and fine. - My NY strip was so full of tendons that I couldn't even chew through it some of it. I can't remember the last time I actually left a piece of steak on my plate from a dinner. - We were ordered a flight of steak sauces and they were spread all over the table with no explanation of what was what. - As for sides, we ordered mash, mac and cheese, broccolini and cauliflower....all very average. Vibe: - completely lacked ambiance. The lighting was bright, there was no background music, and it felt more like a casual neighborhood diner than a place you'd expect to enjoy a nice steak dinner. Unfortunately, this visit reminded me why it had been years since my last visit. Between the average food, inconsistent service, and lackluster atmosphere, I left genuinely wondering how this restaurant has earned such high ratings. Summerlin has far too many incredible restaurants to justify another visit, and for a steakhouse, I'd choose T-Bones or Harlo every time.
