    New England clam chowder
    Masha K.

    Amazing and attentive service, delicious frog legs, and clam chowder! Had Napa Valley Chardonnay, which was beautifully crisp. Also had the whitefish (forgot to take a pic), and amazing carrot cake cupcakes that 4 of us split. Would highly recommend!

    I have been here twice for a corporate event. The service here is remarkable. The servers/bartenders for our corporate function were attentive, friendly, and very welcoming. I recommend that you try the frog legs! Has the texture of a chicken wing, but the sauce and flavor is buttery and savory. The ambiance of the place is nice and family friendly. The location has very large space for private, outdoor, and traditional indoor. There is an ambiance for every occasion. The reason for the 4 stars was my overdone steak! I ordered a medium rare and it came out more on the medium/questionable medium done side. Maybe that's the nature of filet mignon, but I'm used to medium rare juicy at served correctly at these type of establishments.

    Had a great time at Hugo's! Had to work out in Naperville and stayed downtown. This place is a nice small, yet cozy fish house with plenty to enjoy!! SERVICE: Hostess was absolutely pleasant and got us seated quickly with a very positive attitude (nice). Our server was just as good. We were taken care of with attentiveness and excellent service. FOOD: We tried a few small plates just to get the flavor of the place, and they did not disappoint! We had the Frog legs (of course - (poor froggy), salmon avocado roll, and the firecracker shrimp (forgot to take picture). Great place for a big meal (steak, seafood) or for small plates!! Next time I am coming back for a steak!

    Make reservations!!! This place was packed on Saturday night and with good reason. The food is so delicious and the service is amazing. A lot of times I think higher priced restaurants are not worth it. I could make it myself for a fraction of the cost and it would be just as good if not better. Not the case here!! The meal was worth every penny. This is the place for a celebration but also just a fabulous family meal. Every special request was honored. The kids were treated as well as the adults. It's a little loud when it's busy but not so that you can't have a conversation.

    Great food and service! They were busy even weekday lunch. I love CRAB CAKE the best in town!!

    Hugo's beckons from the street; ambiance amongst the sidewalk. That's what lured me. The inside is just as favorable, but I prefer the outdoor dining. The service is constant, beyond pleasant, and quite enjoyable. I was pleased with Aldalpho beyond expectation. He is so wonderful, and attentive. Every selection was remarkable, and above standard. In my opinion, the best oysters in Chicago-land. And you have East and West coast options. Perfect for this girl from the Pacific Northwest. I have missed the flavors of home. I will be back quite often. 10/10

    *ELVIA* is the best! She is a great server. I first asked her for a recommendation on a dry white wine and she gave me a small taste of a dry French wine. Pascal Jolivet "Attirude". It was perfect and we got a bottle. I would not normally get a bottle either! We enjoyed our visit here. Two managers (one was the general manager Ryan) stopped by to get our feedback and we raved about Elvia. The best part of the night was a table of 9 ladies next to us who gave Elvia a standing ovation for her service. The food is great. I got the tuna poke and my friend got the crab cakes. Very pleasant outdoor patio. Happy Servers. Happy environment. Thank you!

    Steaks were dry and tough, both the ribeue and the filet. The whitefish was tasteless. Very disappointing.

The bartender (I didn't catch his name, but had brown hair and facial hair was incredibly rude and disrespectful. I was waiting patiently to be served - not saying a word - and finally he came by me and raised his voice to me in a disrespectful tone saying that he is not serving me because he came by me twice and I wasn't paying attention. So, I waved to the other bartender who was female and she politely served me. I also found out that same male bartender kicked out two other friends of my friend I was with for no reason. Plus, when I reconciled my receipts the next day, I discovered that in my "not paying attention," they handed me two other receipts to sign which totaled about $80.00. (At the time, I thought maybe they were just helping each other out with ringing my order up) There's NO way I ordered that much, because it was SO crowded, I couldn't get served more than once, so that's why we left. So, basically I was robbed $80.00, because I wasn't "paying attention." Both receipts say "Potter's Place," even though we were upstairs at Two-Nine, and that's what it says on my credit card statement. Potter's Place was closed downstairs. I have one receipt that makes sense to what I normally order that says "Two-Nine". So on my credit card statement, I have one charge that says "Two-Nine," then two that say "Potter's Place." They scammed me. NEVER again.

For drinks, I tried the lychee mojito -- it was strong but had really good flavor and was enjoyable. For an appetizer, we got the pretzels. They had a nice garlic seasoning on them and were pretty filling. These were good. For mains, we ordered the Hangover Burger, tenders, and the Bulleit Bourbon Burger. Everything was really delicious. My fries just needed a tad bit of salt, but the burger itself was cooked well (I asked for medium). The flavors were good, and the honey running down actually worked well with everything. Our waiter was also really good and provided solid service. Overall, a great experience -- will be back.

    Altavida is a new addition to the downtown Naperville area as they have only been open for 3 weeks…read more It has taken over The Craftsman building which offers three floors. Altavida's concepts for the three levels are Publico, Rumba, and Altura. Publico (1st Flr)- A South American fusion of food and drinks that will be rotating. The cocktails will be more tequila and mezcal based and food will be subtly rotated based on trends happening in South America. The food menu currently offers tapas, empanadas, ceviche, guacamoles, larger format meat/seafood entrees, and more. They will have a front of our bar as well as a back bar that will specialize in more coffees/coffee cocktails. Rumba (2nd Flr)- The entertainment floor! There is a separate bar on this floor that will specialize in more Rum based cocktails. Additionally, they will have a wine bar area with wines in tap. Lastly, they will have an open area for live music as well as dancing. Their hope is to have a mix of jazz, club music, salsa dancing options available. Altura (3rd Flr)- This floor is still under construction but will have a rooftop patio. The hope is that this space will be an event space both for public and private events. Back to my experience! My partner and I stopped in for a cocktail and to see what Altavida was about. Our first bartender was very nice but was still getting used to the drink recipes and was leaning on their cheat sheets. While we waited, another bartender kindly told us all about the restaurant and its focus on hospitality. Unfortunately, each bartender had a slightly different explanation of the restaurant's goal concepts which was confusing. We ended up ordering the El Toro and Vaquero (both mezcal drinks). Both were VERY spirit forward to the point that it may have needed better balance. Both drinks had a nice presentation with garnishes, color, and a skull feature at the bottom of the glass. Lastly, we saw many people walk up and look confused as there was no formal host stand. They didn't know if they should seat themselves or wait for someone. Overall, there still seems to be some kinks needing to be worked out as well as some conceptual editing. I feel they are trying to achieve too much and it ends up being confusing for staff and guests. I hope with time, Altavida is extremely successful in the Naperville area and I hope to circle back after some time passes.

I arrived at 6:30 and there were plenty of people already in the restaurant, but I was seated promptly. My server Richard came over to greet me right away. He went over the menu options and gave great recommendations. We put our order in pretty quickly because we've been to tapas restaurants before. I loved the modern decor and lively music being played. The place is truly colorful and has a very energetic vibe. The service was excellent. Everyone was extremely kind and happy to help. Edwin, the general manager was so friendly and accommodating by making sure that everything was to our liking. He is a gem. My husband and I ordered a few different tapas to share. We started with the empanadas and they were truly 10/10, highly recommend! We had the beef and chicken with the chimichurri sauce. We also tried the papas bravas and those were delicious as well. They are spicy and have a nice kick. The portion is pretty big and shareable. Last, we had chicken en mole. Omg, so good! They knocked it out of the park with this one. The presentation is very pleasing and the flavor is 10/10! I'm a hot sauce girly and even carry it in my bag just in case. The sauce they had in the dish was so good that I didn't even think about adding hot sauce! The rice and chicken along with the sauce is chef's kiss. I also tried the Brussels sprouts but they were my least favorite of everything. They should go back to the drawing board on that one. The drinks we had were solid. My husband had an espresso martini and dragonfruit margarita, while I had a mango margarita. All were good. Needless to say, I had an amazing evening at Altavida! The dancing on the second floor was also very fun and entertaining. I will definitely be a regular here!
