I have already talked about Hugo’s Restaurant, but I thought that I could do multiple reviews of restaurants as I make subsequent visits. Click here to see previous posts about Hugo’s Restaurant.
After my previous visit to Hugo’s Restaurant with my mom and my sister, I was really looking forward to taking Eric there. It’s a place where we both have a bunch of options to choose from, which is a real pleasure.
After absolutely loving my mom’s order of Pasta Victor last time, I thought I would try a different pasta order. I got the Penne Con Verdure, which is described as “Red lentil penne is organic, protein-rich, gluten-free and GMO-free. Served here with a marinara-pesto sauce, chopped tomatoes, Kalamata olives and blend of seasonal vegetables. Topped with fresh basil.” It was very tasty and well-cooked, but was sort of disappointing because I felt I could have made it myself. I guess it’s my bad for ordering it, but I guess I just thought I would be blown away like I was with the Pasta Victor sauce. It was perfectly fine, but I won’t likely order it again. Sorry for the terribly blurry photo.
Eric ordered their seasonal holiday meal. It came with stuffing, hash brown cakes, mashed sweet potatoes, and chicken. Everything but the chicken was vegan, so I tried a bite of each to report back. The mashed potatoes and stuffing were fine, but they didn’t blow us away. The little hash brown cakes, however, were somewhat burned as you can see in the photo.
Overall, this was a bit of a disappointing meal. I’m sure to be back at Hugo’s again, but I’m not as impressed as I was on my previous visit.
