RESTAURANT REVIEW

This offering from the Hugo's people is located in a space that once housed the cookbook store Rabelais. Diners can go classic - oysters on the half shell, lobster roll, fish and chips - or they can go modern by selecting from a series of ceviches and escabeches. The menu expands even further in the evening to include things like grilled swordfish belly and slow-cooked pork shoulder, along with what they call a New England Clam Bake, which includes steamers, mussels, lobster, potatoes, salt pork and a hard-boiled egg that have been cooked in a seaweed-filled Chinese dumpling steamer.
