Amazing food, really good vibe. Made us feel really comfortable and the new the manager was amazing, did not take his name but an Asian gentleman was great, good conversation and the team were also very friendly. The mock tails were perfect and the presentation was a 10. 100% recommend the steak.

When restaurants fail to live up to expectations we call them out. But when somewhere surprises us with just how good it is, then we should also not hesitate to let others know. This is review of @Humo in Watford town centre. Watford is not exactly a hip destination ~ but it was a Thursday night, and we were meeting friends who live locally for a catch up, so we were intrigued, and thought we would give it a try - we were so glad that we did! The restaurant has a slightly industrial vibe decor wise, a great bar area, an open kitchen, and feels young and trendy ( neither couple are either of these things). The food is influenced by two of my favourite cuisines - Spanish tapas ,and Japanese. Humo means smoke in Spanish and the restaurant bills itself as Modern Firehouse - many dishes are cooked in a charcoal oven. Service was professional and attentive (not something often achieved in local restaurants). I ordered a strawberry daiquiri, which was beautifully presented- and probably one of the best cocktails I have ever been served in this country. We ordered a couple of tapas dishes to start - padron peppers, beef croquettes and also two Japanese dishes chicken gyoza, and salmon nigiri. Each dish was not only great to look at - but tasted amazing too. My own main course was SO GOOD - lamb chops cooked over charcoal with an amazingly tasty miso glaze, also served on a bed of beautifully prepared vegetables. I could have dined on anything with that miso glaze - so delicious! Others had duck breast - a generous and perfectly prepared dish, and bao buns and a selection of wonderful vegetable side dishes ( there are lots of dishes for non meat eaters) Finally my husband was the only one who ordered desert ( but we did have 4 spoons!) and succumbed to the joys of the baked Catalan cheesecake. Every plate went back to the kitchen clean - and we all know that a clean plate is a happy plate! Prices are not cheap by any means ( is anything these days?) - but not overpriced. But we all agreed that we were really glad to have tried this Watford restaurant and would all be very happy to come back any time. I urge you to give it a try - you won’t regret it. #Tasty #Tasty #Tasty Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie dishes a available

Stumbled in with a friend and now I end up there every month! Desserts are lovely! Cocktails are fab it's just a shame there is only one mixologist so you need to wait (but worth the wait). Owners are nice friendly faces in the restaurant. Atmosphere is nice. Bring back the paella!!!!

Came for the first time on our wedding anniversary what can I say... the food was absolutely superb.... we had bone marrow and the squid bao buns to start I then had the duck breast whilst my wife went for the lamb both were faultless and cooked to perfection and at the same time presented like a Michelin star restaurant... this was then followed by the baked cheesecake...... the whole thing was accompanied by a bottle of red and several lovely cocktails. The staff were amazing and made the whole experience one to remember.... we are already planning our next visit and would recommend Humo to anyone
