 Hugo's Restaurant Review: While chef Rob Evans has passed on the baton of Hugo's ownership to three staffers, Arlin Smith, Mike Wiley and chef de cuisine Andrew Taylor, fans of the restaurant's avant-garde farm-to-table cuisine likely won't know the difference. The trio has been running the restaurant for the past two years, responsible for all of the much-admired local sourcing, including foraging. The menu offers à la carte options with prices that encourage ordering multiple dishes and sharing, or you can choose an eight-course tasting menu. You might see dishes such as a local tomato salad with foraged black trumpet mushrooms and sesame, or Atlantic halibut with beach rose, farro, radish and asparagus. Casco Bay skate wing comes with beef tongue, celery root, potato and carrot, while locally sourced lamb is accented with a burnt honey glaze, Swiss chard and sweet potato. You might prefer to hit the bar for a cocktail and inexpensive gastropub fare with a tequila shot made with salt foam and lime shaved ice. Nothing ordinary appears on the menu --- still. |
