Hugo's Frog Bar Naperville,IL

Hugo's Frog Bar. A great place to have a hearty cocktail, glass of wine from an amazing wine by the glass list and a few great beers on tap. The food is? We like to eat in the bar. Order mini sliders or mini lobster roll sammies with a side of shoe string fries. Salad first? Ok, how about a nice iceberg wedge with yummy bleu cheese dressing for a $1.00? How about a dinner salad for a $1.00? You can try a bowl of creamy, chunky clam chowder! Oysters? Yes, you have come to the right place. The briny, meaty little buggers are fresh shucked and brought to you with a vinegar spice dip and the traditional horseradish-ketchup sauce. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. This place does a great business. It is always busy. We usually do not eat in the dinning room. The main menu food is ok. We have had hit and miss experiences in the dining room.  Bloody Marys are good but the bartender forgot to include the "garden". You know you have to have celery, olives maybe brussel sprouts?
We do like this place, yes it is owned by the same people who own Gibson's. So they have a good formula. One other thing, sometimes as the evening goes on, the bar gets very crowded and noisy. The place really swings.
