Initially, Hugo’s had my interest piqued at ‘blind tasting,’ a farm to table concept, a James Beard pedigree, and recommendations from some palates that I more than trust. Basically, everything I could hope for in a night out. Unfortunately, after our arrival, the meal quickly and irrevocably went downhill. So, what does it take for me to leave a restaurant? Like, actually get up an walk out? Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I left a restaurant before the meal was finished. Especially during a tasting menu. So, what does it take and how bad is it that I can easily convince the entire party to do follow suit? Let’s get into it, shall we… Not clean tables. Upon sitting down, we realized that our places at the table were rather sticky. Like, distracting and to the point that our glasses had to be wedged off the table every time…
