Best Restaurants for People Watching in Elk Grove Village

I’ve been a fan of this place for years and love celebrating special occasions here. The food, service, and overall experience are usually fantastic and a good value. However, after today’s visit, I recommend reconsidering if you plan to dine here with a larger group. We were a party of eight, and the seating was extremely tight—not just at our table but in how closely spaced the tables are from one another. It was uncomfortable having to constantly shift chairs or stand up to let other guests pass. While everything else was top-notch, the cramped seating definitely detracted from the experience. I expected more thoughtfulness in accommodating larger groups for such an upscale restaurant. That said, if you’re dining solo, as a couple, or with a small party, you’ll likely have a fantastic time. I hope Hugo’s reconsiders their seating for larger groups because today could have easily gone from simply a good experience to a truly excellent one.

Amazing food and service in this cute converted house. Such a great vibe. We love this place

There was an issue when we checked in. My OpenTable reservation was confused with a walkin so we didn't get seated until an hour after our reservation. Robeer the manager was very apologetic and fixed the situation. Our waiter Milton was great.
