Hugo’s Restaurant was built on founder Terry
Kaplan's vision which included “a kitchen producing original and wonderful
foods found nowhere else” and "a compelling and exciting thought...to have
a family of co-workers who cared for each other in a genuine way. They would
experience support, respect and feelings of well being. That would be the true
heart and soul, the inspiring element" of Hugo's.
Your Dining Satisfaction Is Our Guarantee
The restaurants rely on the talents of many, from our amazing chef Nabor Diaz, through the entire staff who contribute so much of themselves everyday. What we all are trying to do here still comes back to Terry's desire to be inspiring. Like everyone else, there are times in our day to day operations when we lose track, but Terry's ideals are always there to bring us back to our purpose in serving you and each other.
We continually strive to produce original and wonderful food. We continually strive to value and respect each other, and the people we serve, spreading the kind of community we want to have take hold in the world. Being able to share "well being" is as vital an idea to us today as when Terry first proposed it.
Although faces, menus and times have changed, Terry's simple idea continues to be a beacon and the essence of our idea of hospitality.
Hugo's is honored to be a touchstone for a community of like-minded people, both employees and customers, who value their time here. If you've felt a connection to the way we serve you and the community, then you're a Hugonaut, too.
As Terry said so eloquently, "The menu will . . . change, but please, let's let the Hugo philosophy . . . continue, for love is, after all, our real true power.
