The Spot
Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House has been serving the Gold Coast since 1997, run under Gibsons Restaurant Group alongside its steakhouse sibling, Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse. The two share private dining space in the same Rush Street building, with second-floor rooms overlooking the neighborhood.

The kitchen works from delivered-daily seafood and Gibsons Prime Angus steaks, with oysters on the half shell, Alaskan king crab legs, and the namesake frog legs as the standing signatures. Crab cakes, lobster roll, walleye, and brussels sprouts turn up often among what diners order.

One dining room fixture stands apart: a former elevator car, once part of Winston Churchill's private use, converted into an enclosed booth that seats two to four with a champagne toast built into the experience. Michelin has included the restaurant in its Chicago Selected list every year from 2021 through 2025.
