Comforting favorites in Avondale by Chefs Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim inspired by old-world cooking. Start your meal with a selection of beverages like a bottle of trendy orange wine or head to the bar after work with no reservation needed for a craft cocktail like The Muse with gin and beet kvass. Our appetizer cart will roll to your table to start your dinner with over 10 bites beckoning to be picked like our fan-favorite smoked carrot paté or sunflower seed hummus. Our main dishes offer a variety of homestyle flavors just like your mother made from thick soups to layered pasta and fluffy Ukrainian garlic bread. Coffee, after-dinner drinks and a flaky pastry like our Napoleon invite you to finish the meal with a sweet treat and hours of good conversation in a space that feels like home.

From the kitchen to the bar, everything we serve is defined by a passion for exploring unique flavor combinations. Wood is more than a name: our wood-fired oven is at the heart of it all, enhancing a dynamic menu of small-plate, American fare, made with the peak midwest farm produce each season has to offer. Though the dishes regularly change, they are defined by a few constants: meat is butchered in-house from humanely-raised animals; vegetables are drawn from local family farms; and all pastas and sausages are freshly made. Lead by our talented Executive Chef Devin Kreller, who is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, Chef Devin uses French-dominated cooking techniques combined with multicultural inspirations such as Asian and Italian to create new dishes. Located in the heart of Chicago Boystown, we're known for our brunches, and house butchered meats. Come see why our restaurant has been around for 12 years. For reservations over 10 guests, please call us at (773) 935-9663.

    Delicious food, beautifully prepared and presented. The cocktails and drinks offerings adventurous and interesting. Loved the Beet Kvass and the horseradish martini. Ambiance is fun and funky, loved the Ukrainian fabric touches. Great for smaller dinner parties or couples.

    Even with the stress of Christmas dinner service, the team at Hugo's delivered a great meal and in a timely manner. The wait staff was great and the food was great. Everyone was is a good holiday mood. Forget that this Hugo's is located inside Rivers Casino, once you're seated you'll not hear the jingling of slot machines. Highly recommended!

    We were here for a birthday dinner and had a lovely time. The service was excellent with a server who had humor and was attentive. The menu is very interesting offering a wode variety of choices and take on trditional dishes like the Garrsoulet I had, a take off of Cassoulet of course. The Lardo and Tomato toast appetizer was delicous and everyones meal was excellent. The prices are on the high side but we were satisfied. I also reccomment the steak tartare and the burger. The atmosphere is elegant but casual and lovely.
