Hugo's Rating Scale


Chef Rob Evans was one of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs in 2004, and won the prestigious the Best Chef Northeast award from the James Beard Foundation in 2009. Evans resume includes a stint at the famed French Laundry where he worked with the acclaimed Chef Thomas Keller.
In 2008 Hugo's was recognized by Wine Spectator for the quality of their wine list. A visit by The Ethicurean elicited this response "The whole experience — the unlikely pairing of flavors, the ethereal aromas — was intoxicating." Type A Diversions declares that Hugo's "sets the bar high for masterful eclectic cuisine," and The Maine Sunday Telegram says quite simply that "Hugo's writes poetry with food."
Watch this video to get a better understanding Evans philosophy and approach to food. If you're still hungry for more information read "A Day in the Life of Master Chef Rob Evans" from Taste of the Seacoast or the Maine magazine article from 2010.
