Cafe Hugo - New York

I really want to give it more of a 3.5 stars. This is an elegant yet surprisingly quiet and quite empty restaurant.

Where should I start? The buildout is nice and this looks like it would be a good placeOutdoor patio like a lot of New York eateries.

Great menu. Lots to choose from. The service was top notch!

We got our starter quickly. And the rest of the food arrived in a timely manner.

The hostess didn't know how to confirm the reservation. She told me the system was broken. Then she said the restaurant was under new management and they didn't tell her anything. That was after she told me it would take 40 minutes and I was surrounded by empty tables. The manager came finally had us seated and our server was great! I stopped another young lady on the way out and told her I wanted to confirm that my reservation was confirmed with the table open. She saw it immediately and took care of it. The hostess should be trained or let go. She was probably just ready to leave and had to stay because of the 3 staff members who were all late together.
