I think I will go back to see if it gets better than just two stars since there are some other more positive reviews. First, we were told that there would be a 45 minute wait so we went next door and...

Although Ugo's can be pretty packed on a Friday night, you can put your name on the waitlist and grab a glass of wine at the wine bar next door (they're partnered with Ugo's, and the hostess will come find you...
