Steak
Amanda F.

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.

Lindsey D.

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. Review from July 2025

Raspberry sorbet palette cleanser
Erica A.

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

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.

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.

Michael N.

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!

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!

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!

Laura M.

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!!

Dessert

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!

Pork lion, fingerling potatoes

Outstanding service and experience. We came across Hugos Cellar by accident, walking off a dinner from Oscars, and booked a table for the next night. Hugos Cellar is nestled on a lower part of the Four Queens Hotel and Casino, getting to the restaurant is via a few stairs down or an elevator. Upon checking in and being walked to your table, each lady in your party gets an amazing long stem rose, which has its own vase on the table. Upon paying the bill, the rose is wrapped in foil to take it home. The food experience at Hugos has a unique set of included items. Firstly a wonderful selection of bread, crackers, butters, salts etc are promptly brought over when you are seated Each meal includes a table side custom salad bar experience, a pallet cleansing gelato and a wonderfully displayed chocolate covered strawberries and heavy cream dessert. Entres also include two sides, making this fantastic experience very affordable We booked the table for our 10th anniversary and on our table was a handwritten signed congratulatory card. I had ordered the rack of lamb, which ive had at many other places... there was so much lamb! I was not expecting a whole rack of 6 bones and a tremendous amount of wonderfully cooked tender lamb. Service was impeccable, everyone works as a team and we could see a few of the servers standing by the walls, attentively looking for empty plates to remove or water glasses emptying to fill... you never had to wait for any server to ask for something, they are constantly reacting to you. My wife ordered the pork loin, but without any sauces and gravy, unfortunately that was pretty dry and our server quickly saw this and offered her another dish of her choice with no fuss. We'll be back here for sure, the food, service, ambience, value and experience was a lot better than we had experienced that week at Oscars, Eiffle tower and Havana.

Beef Wellington  !! Excellent   Added the Aug gratin potatoes

Las Vegas done right. Our Anniversary dinner at Hugos was a great place to celebrate ! Service is 5-star ***** I really like all-in pricing of entree. Includes bread/butter plate, a fun Table side hand-made custom salad and chocolate covered strawberries and mini sorbet pallet cleansing "ice cream cones " So cool and classy .. from a Rose for the ladies as you enter to hot towels at the end. Elegant. Quiet dark and beautiful Cool. Old school Las Vegas history here A Must do when in Vegas or for a special event

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!! We came here on April 13 2026 to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary.. we spend about $600 and the food would have been better at Taco Bell... services started off great.. The ambiance was pretty. Got our wine, wonderful salads but then it went down hill from there.. All of us were very disappointed.. Food tasted froze and heated (nothing was fresh), the Au Gratin Potato's were absolutely disgusting and an up charge (tasted days old), Sea bass was dry and not good (and had sour cream on top), the duck, the green beans and risotto was not edible. My mom ordered a cosmopolitan and it tasted watered down, as if it had sat on counter an hour... We didn't even get asked for more wine. We all had full plates when table was cleaned off and nobody asked how our meal was.. My mom made a comment about the food and our waiter acted like he didn't hear her. The next day we called to give management the opportunity to connect with us before writing review and was told they would call back. 2 weeks now and nobody has called us back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE... $600 for 4 people it should have knocked our socks off.. My parents loved this place and wanted to celebrate here and it was a totally let down. Save your money.

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

The shrimp was perfectly cooked, the sauce had amazing flavor, and the portion was so generous that I couldn't even finish it but happily took the leftovers home. I also started with the Caesar salad, and even that was a huge serving! My boyfriend ordered the steak. It was a little dry, so we asked if they had horseradish. Our server was very kind throughout our meal, but she quickly told us they didn't have any without checking. Meanwhile, the busser overheard us, wasn't sure himself, and actually took the time to go to the back and ask. A couple of minutes later, he came back with horseradish! That small act really stood out to us because he went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. He deserves a huge shout-out (and honestly, a raise!). Our server also brought us A1 sauce, which definitely helped with the steak. Overall, the food was delicious, the portions were incredible, the vibe was great, and the staff was friendly. The busser's effort is what really made this visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!

The restaurant is open 24/7. One person had the sandwich/soup/salad lunch combination. This was a half turkey sandwich, a half salad with balsamic and lobster bisque. They really enjoyed it. I had the Kale and Warm Grains salad. It was an interesting combination (including farro, quinoa, dates) and was very tasty. Could have used a bit more dressing. I probably should have asked for some extra on the side. The third person had the Crispy Avocado salad.

The cream sauce balanced the beets well with occasional nuts for texture. The house green salad was more lettuce than anything else. The southwest chicken salad, the meat was a bit dry. Still was an easy meal and simple to plan around. Worked well in a pinch.

There's something really special about an open-air venue in Las Vegas -- it has a relaxed, laid-back energy that you don't always find on or near the Strip. The atmosphere was fun and lively, and it was clear that people were there to have a good time. The karaoke DJ was absolutely the highlight of the night. He was talented, enthusiastic, and incredibly warm and welcoming -- the kind of host who makes everyone feel like a star whether they can sing or not. I also loved the karaoke app, which notifies you when your turn is coming up. That's such a thoughtful touch and takes so much anxiety out of the experience. Karaoke kicked off at 10pm and the energy in the room was infectious once it got going. The drinks were good -- well-made and enjoyable -- though on the pricier side for what you'd expect at a casual karaoke vegas bar. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing going in. Now for the constructive feedback, shared in the spirit of hoping this venue reaches its full potential: The table reservation situation was genuinely confusing and a bit stressful. I had made what I believed to be a table reservation ahead of time, but when we arrived, the host at the door informed us that table reservations aren't actually accepted. I showed her my reservation confirmation, and unfortunately she was dismissive about it rather than empathetic or helpful. For a group arriving excited for the night, that interaction set a frustrating tone. A little kindness and acknowledgment -- even just "I'm so sorry for the confusion, let me help you find a spot" -- would have gone a long way. Because we couldn't be seated at the tables until 10pm, we were left waiting at the bar, which was extremely crowded with other guests in the same situation. Getting a drink was a real challenge with so many people packed in waiting for seating to open up. It felt like a bit of a bottleneck that could easily be improved with clearer communication upfront about the table policy -- or better yet, actually offering reservations. We also weren't able to order food at the Front Yard, which was a surprise. We ended up heading over to the Village Pub to eat, which worked out fine, but it would be so much more convenient to be able to grab a bite without leaving the venue. Despite all of that, my friends and I left smiling. The DJ truly carried the night, and the outdoor space is something Ellis Island should be proud of. With a few operational tweaks -- clearer reservation policies, a friendlier front-of-house experience, and maybe some food options -- the Front Yard could easily be one of the best karaoke spots in Las Vegas. We'd come back and give it another shot! :)
