Humo in Watford

Humo in Watford has a cozy vibe, but it’s quite cold inside, so wearing a jacket is a must. The bone marrow was decent, the steak was tasty but not exceptional, and the cheesecake was absolutely delicious. Worth a try! The toast bread with tomato was good also!!

Good place if you want to eat in Warford, good service (I said I was from Madrid and the owner is too). There were 2 of us and we ordered several tapas including croquettes, sticky rice, prawns and sushi. Then as a main course I ordered the 8-hour ribs and they were delicious. The only downside, the price is about 65 pounds with a bottle of wine for 2.

Had the most AMAZING evening here with DJ Ray on Friday! Such a buzzing atmosphere without mentioning the great quality food and best cocktails in Watford!

Came here excited, as the reviews on here and other sites have been really good. Perhaps my hopes were set too high. Firstly the ambiance is on the lively side, I get it, it’s a Friday night but the generic cut and paste house music being blasted out at 7pm is not acceptable. Weirdly the volume kept getting turned down and then turned back up, like the staff were responding to different customers demands. A couple next to me left because to was too loud. The food and drink is overpriced sadly. I know this is supposed to be a fancy option in Watford but rates for cocktails (solid at best) and wine were not reflected in the quality of the beverage. I had the bavette steak with house fries. No steak knife offered which is essential for the bavette style. Needed a steak knife. It was not a great piece of meat and paying £26 for the larger portion felt a stretch. Small portion of fries too. However the chimichurri was a highlight. Then a small dessert followed by a coffee. In total it came to £71 which just felt insane considering that I was still hungry and the meat had been mediocre. Normally the food snob in would avoid a place that does grill, sushi and tapas. It can’t do all 3 well and this place is very much fur coat sans knickers.

Just left this restaurant and had one of the best experiences I've had in such a long time. I'm now currently sitting here typing this while enjoying my banging takeaway cheesecake. The food here is absolutely outrageously good (especially the short rib)! The owner and his team were all extremely accommodating and we can't wait to come back. Cant believe I was driving because the Margarita cocktail we had was awesome. Until next time! Thank you.

The food is absolutely perfect, great steak and the ribs were lovely and soft. Basque is a must too. DJ spins some proper rnb and garage classics and takes requests too! Had a great night and will be going back for sure!

We visited Humo after a recommendation from our accommodation. We had some different croquettes to start and some artisan bread. The truffle and mushroom croquettes were amazing!! We both then had sea bass and house friend and these were delicious. Cocktails were great and we really enjoyed these. They have a great cocktail menu. Service was great and the waiter explained things on the menu to us and service was quick and professional. This is a great place for couple and friends. It had a lovely atmosphere and is really well decorated. Class meal and service. Highly recommended.

Best restaurant in the area, so pleased they prioritise quality over volume! it's a truly gem! Service and atmosphere great 👌🏼 Best croquetas are truffle mushroom 🤤

Had an amazing experience dining there. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was on point. I'll definitely be making a visit next time in Watford . 10 out of 10. Thank you Humo Watford

Exceptional. 10 out of 10 for food and service. We loved the whole experience of dining there, and will be back for sure when in Watford again. Thank you Humo Watford.

Great food, great service. Took my wife for our anniversary. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we felt welcomed and had a really enjoyable evening, lovely meal and a surprise anniversary ice cream at the end. My first time visiting won’t be the last.

Solo dining on a work trip. Food was excellent, had the garlic prawns, perfectly cooked bavette and the cheese cake! Great food and good value.

The Angus rib eye steak was the best steak I’ve had in a long, long time & my partners duck was also really tasty. Both were perfectly cooked. Tapas & drinks were great too.

Loved this retaurant! In a great location and has warehouse vibes. The food and cocktails were incredible. Will be coming back again.

Yummy food! Came in here with my friends and we loved the food. The Jalapeno margarita cocktail I had was so good! Really friendly staff with some great suggestions on the food. I enjoyed every dish...and loved the warehouse vibes.

I visited Humo Restaurant in Watford on a Saturday night, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. We started with some expertly crafted cocktails, followed by the most delicious croquettes and succulent prawns. For our mains, we chose the Tomahawk with chips, and it was cooked to perfection—each bite was bursting with flavour. Dessert was an absolute highlight, with the Basque Cheesecake and a delightful brioche dessert that left us wanting more. The service was second to none, with the staff making us feel right at home. Highly recommend Humo for a night of amazing food, drinks, and impeccable service!

We had a reservation for 2, which was cinfirmed yesterday. Today the reataurant was closed. Anything can happen, and we understand that they might have to be closed, but no one let us know.

This place is a real hidden gem. Deffo one of our favourite restaurants

Interesting fusion between Spanish and Japanese cuisine

The food was reasonably good, the service only okay. An interesting fusion concept of Spanish and Japanese cuisines that worked really well in places.

Visited with a friend recently and had a wonderful wonderful meal! Atmosphere brilliant, lamb chops beautiful! Completely spoilt. Highly recommended!

Fabulous food, great service and a great dj. Perfect atmosphere.

Great food very delicious, service outstanding

Excellent first visit to Humo. Attentive service, great food, cocktails and wine list. They even brought out a birthday cheesecake slice without being asked! Highly recommended.

It was our first visit to Humo Watford as a family. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, had ordered duck which was tasty and most importantly very tender. Had also ordered sea bass fish which was also very tasty I think would have loved to have a little big piece but was good. Chops and steak was also Very good . Our starter was also tasty and good. Service was excellent person serving our was very good unfortunately forgot his name. Had a great time. Will definitely go back . Would recommend other to try it out too. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely meal and really attentive restaurant team, will definitely return for another visit.

Another great meal at Humo! Lovely food, attentive staff and good ambience.

Superb food and great setting. Will be returning!

The food was amazing, the service was amazing and so was the atmosphere/vibe Definitely recommend and i would 100% go back

Dinner was good. Steak was slightly over cooked but was still tender. Starter was amazing and I couldnt fault the service!!

Great night at Humo. Service was fantastic and attentive and a lovely atmosphere for a Saturday night. Food was excellent - only small point was would love to see more desert options. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Great and attentive service. The barman was great with cocktail recommendations and a wonderful suprise with a wedding anniversary desert. Thank you Humo

Food was yummy, service was great. It was top quality dinner. However, we were not happy with our happy hour cocktails. Prices were reduced but so was the quality.

Loved it, great food, great customer service, nice beer.

From the point of booking right to when we left the experience was brilliant. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and the food was absolutely insane. We went for the £27.50 3-course menu which was excellent value for money. The wine was excellent too. Everyone in the group was pleased with their choices and overall we had a wonderful evening.

Myself and two friends visited on a wednesday evening. They let us know they had a large event on which may slow service to us. We appreciated being informed and the waiter was very attentive and gave us a sushi dish as a little bite on the house whilst we waited for our food. Drinks were flowing and once we received our food it really was delicious! Sea bass especially!

After booking back in June and couldn’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to say our experience for our wedding anniversary in September was outstanding. Nothing was to much trouble, the food was delicious and the waiter / bartender was extremely helpful and attentive I have no hesitation in recommending Humo and 100% will be back

Food was incredible, Happy Hour on a Saturday also helped! 😃

Lovely meal, tapas particularly good

Really enjoyed the food and the service was great, even for early evening on a saturday...

Had the best time and the quality of the food as well as the drinks were just 100%! Booked to have a birthday meal and the team made the day extra special. Couldn't recommend a better place to eat.

What a great night we had and amazing food. Cocktails are amazing. Must visit

Good food but music is stupidly loud for a restaurant.

Been here several times and Humo have never dissapointed. Awesome food, awesome atmosphere, awesome wines. And awesome staff. I will happily recommend this place

I booked this restaurant to take my gf on a date but just by looking at pictures it looked nice but it wasn't till we got there and tried the food cocktails and felt the atmosphere that one my gf and I felt this is now our place to go everything about it was just amazing and we can't wait to go back there end of the month ❤️

Great service, great food, great atmosphere

Great customer service for a meal for my young kid and friends. Thank you for bearing with the noise and accommodating us

Had a lovely experience. Staff were hands on and accommodating. Visited Humo with a group of kids that love tiktok and selfies lol Staff allowed the kids to be free. Their food was also very delicious and well priced. Would happily go back. Thank you!

Just an amazing experience. Every single dish was PERFECTION. Stand outs were the jamon croquetas, the lamp chops with miso, the bavette steak, the Patatas bravas sauce was amazing! Beautiful restaurant, delicious cocktails too and we will definitely be back! 🤩

Amazing food . Service was great and the music (DJ) was playing some great tunes

We had an early booking for a table for five, and there were only a couple of other people in the restaurant. Despite this, service was woeful. It was like pulling teeth. Drinks took over 30 mins to arrive at the table. Meals all came out separately, with one of our party not getting their meal until the rest of us had nearly finished. Food was fine. Nothing to write home about. Saving grace, the cocktail I had was good.

Good food good customer good service. Everything so satisfying 🌟

We went to Humo last week, we had read some good reviews and thought we’d go for dinner. The service was good, our waiter was friendly, attentive and helpful throughout. The food was very average - for starters we had padron peppers which were fine, ‘langostinos’ which were actually gambas but again fine and patatas bravas which were quite soggy and the aioli was curdled. For mains my medium rare rib eye steak, coming in at £30, was very overcooked - medium well if I’m being generous, the ‘chimichuri’ was red and did not have a fresh herb in sight - dried oregano and parsley with red wine vinegar which lacked any freshness that you’d expect with a good green sauce and the peppercorn sauce was wishy-washy - the stock was not reduced enough, there was no depth/warmth from brandy and it was very thin in consistency. Some side dishes: excellent crispy chips and lacklustre, poorly prepared ‘seasonal’ veg that had not been scrubbed properly or treated with any care. Overall good service but poor food.

Have been here a few times and that says enough (considering I do not go back to restaurants more than once/twice). First & foremost, the cocktails here are amazing! The starters are so varied in flavours but hits the spot every single time. The mains are such huge portions. Perfect food, great ambience and amazing drinks!

Absolutely amazing service from all staff including owner/ management We booked a table of 18 and the food was insane. All my friends hadn't come before and this was my third time. It was great for a birthday night out. Plus dj was playing amazing music. I can't wait to come back

We went for my wife's birthday, the food, service, drinks were next level! We couldn't decide between the 2 deserts so they brought both with a happy birthday message! Amazing night!

Came for a tapas and cocktails evening and both were fantastic! Plenty of options for veggies too

Only done a takeout, but I have to write a review as the people were amazing, food was outstanding and the attention to detail just refreshing! Can’t wait to experience the restaurant!

Best restaurant in Watford. Mac and cheese was amazing.

Best restaurant in Watford. Went recently for a girls night out and to celebrate a birthday. The owner is so friendly and helpful and the service is excellent. The music was a little loud at first so we asked the dj to turn it down, he was so cool about it and then he cranked it back up later on so we could all dance. Brilliant night out for anyone looking for a more sophisticated night out in Watford.

Really nice food. The rice was tasty, good steak, good peppers, beef balls good. Defo recommend this spot.

amazing food all very fresh and the tapas selection was great the lamb was cooked to perfection and the steak. great atmosphere and amazing cocktails

I tried to call and email the restaurant to cancel my booking, but no one picked up on either phone or email, and they still charged me £40 in cancellation fee although I was unable to get hold of anyone to cancel my booking

What a find!!! Great Restaurant with amazing staffs! We went in to celebrate our exam success, 4 of us. The staff led by Prebs, greeted us so well and gave personal attention throughout our dinner. The whole meal was excellent, but the Statrters were my favourite... I loved the Pardon Peppers, the crispy Mushroom (Arrozo Meloso), the chicken Gyoza, the prawns ..... I ordered Lamb Chops and the combination with mash and the miso sauce was next level! The Cheesecake were ultimate....Can't wait to be back there soon:-)

The best food in Watford. The tapas is perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Service is excellent and ambiance great. Our “go to” restaurant in Watford.

We were a group of 6 so had the opportunity to try lots of different tapas. All were lovely. Service was friendly and efficient. Lovely buzzy atmosphere - feels like you’re on holiday!

Excellent meal, excellent service!

Great food and service. I’ve been twice now and it’s been consistent, friendly and attentive. Will definitely go again.

Music was a but too loud. Service was excellent. Meals should be complete not half the meal and purchase the other as a side.

We had a gorgeous meal at Humo , the food was delicious especially the croquettes and the lamb. Fabulous cocktails too , will definitely be back

We went for dinner at Humo on a Friday night. Enjoyed lots of small plates - bone marrow, gyoza and the sushi were standout dishes - and the beef short rib main was delicious too. We’ll definitely be back to try out more of the menu soon. Also a great cocktail list and DJ playing meant a lively atmosphere. Thanks!

Beef short rib was absolutely spot on, more people need to come to this place it’s like a hidden gem Thank you for a great anniversary everything was amazing 10/10

What a great evening! Thank you to all the staff. We were here for a work do a nd had a memorable night. Food and service faultless not one complaint from any of us! Everyone was able to try something different. Personal highlight being the mushroom and truffle croquettes. Night was topped off with the DJ. Thank you all

This is our favourite place to go! The food is amazing, the cocktails are excellent. Smoky Havana every time! Great nights out had here & also a lovely family meal on father day! The staff are wonderful. See you soon!

Night out for my wife's birthday. 15 of us had a selection of small plates and drinks. DJ RAY then kept us dancing till closing time.

Great vibe and even better food!

The service here is top notch, the atmosphere lovely and the food delicious. I will definitely return here and highly recommend to others. My only negative would be I do think £8 is expensive for a non alcoholic cocktail, even though it was a very tasty, well presented cocktail (although I don't often drink non-alcoholic cocktails, so perhaps this is the going rate).

Great service, with a smile of course. Went the extra mile to get me & the mrs seated when bookings were full. Amazing food! Tomahawk steak and 8 hour slow cooked rib were amazing 5 star. I’ll be returning

Great food, and a well made cocktail. Service was a bit patchy on the night we visited - whilst friendly, due to the layout of the restaurant, we felt a bit invisible, as we had to leave our seat on one occasion to request a drink. All in all though, a great addition to the Watford restaurant scene - at long last something different! Give it a go.

This our favourite restaurant in Watford. It is on the higher end when it comes to price but absolutely worth it. Our most recent visit was for father's day and if I'd let them, I think my family would have licked the plates! Don't miss out on this watford gem

Took my better half and mother-in-law to Humo Watford for a birthday dinner, and what a riot! The cocktails were dangerously delicious—especially the Raspberry Marg, which I might now be in a serious relationship with. The Miso Aubergine was out of this world, and the Jamon Croquetas had us all fighting over the last one like it was the last slice of pizza. I had the Bavette steak cooked to perfection, and I swear the staff could read my mind because they were always there when needed but never hovering. The place was spotless, and the vibe was great...we really need to visit at a weekend. The pacing between courses was spot on, so we didn't feel like we were auditioning for an eating contest, despite ordering half the menu. The Torrijas & Requeson dessert was a caramelised dream—absolutely incredible. I was too full to have a draught of Estrella Galicia (which I've only seen once in the UK), but that's just another reason to come back soon. Humo Watford, you've won our hearts and our stomachs. We'll be back for the food and the Galicia! 🍴🍹✨

what in the hell did they serve, 4/5 of us ordered chicken and 4/5 of us were served PINK chicken. we asked the server and she said it’s just the bird… what kind of bird are you serving then??? you don’t have to be a genuius to know how to cook a chicken

Amazing!! Wonderful food, great atmosphere..very fun evening. In house dj. Service was great, staff were happy and attentive. Just brilliant.

Great food and lovely atmosphere Really enjoyed the meal will go back definitely!

Highly recommend, good food and service. Very reasonably priced

Came here for a belated birthday dinner, all the staff were super nice and chatty and accommodating of any requests we had. Decent prices considering the quality of the food and a lovely selection. Mentioned it being a belated birthday dinner and they went out of their way to bring over a birthday dessert which was really lovely and thoughtful. Exceeded all my expectations and will definitely be back! Highly recommend the YellowTail Carpaccio and Mushroom Croquettes!

We had lunch yesterday and the food was excellent and served in a good atmosphere. We enjoyed every moment of our visit to this restaurant.

We had a very different experience from others posted here; we visited on a Saturday night unaware that Happy Hour had taken place between 5-7 previously; hence the place felt like like a club at midnight ; many drunk and loud parties clearly enjoying themselves but shouting to make themselves heard over the clubby music which felt completely at odds with the laidback decor. Our server was very attentive but we all struggled to make ourselves heard when ordering. We initially ordered cocktails and tapas and discussed whether we’d order the steak later. The cocktails tasted great but they arrived a long time after the tapas - the single barperson appearing to struggle to keep up with orders. Just like the venue, the menu also seems to suffer from an identity crisis; Humo refers to itself as a grill but there are minimal choices on the menu and the tapas - while again tasting very good - mixes Spanish (potato bravas, croquettes) with Japanese (tempura) - all of which feels (and tastes) disorienting. After finishing the tapas and cocktails, our waiter then tried to sell us red wine referring to how well it goes with the steak. Again, this felt like a mistimed beat; why not mention this when we were contemplating the steak earlier? All in all, for the experience and the price we paid - approx £70+ - Humo felt average at best. In my opinion, it seems to struggle with what it is; a bar, a club, a grill, or a restaurant and in trying to do all of these, falls short of delivering on any

Excellent. Service and food 10/10

Humo in Watford was the perfect way for us to celebrate my boyfriend’s 20th birthday! the staff were more than accommodating and so attentive throughout our entire meal. They were informative about the offers they provided and catered perfectly to how and when we wished our food to be brought out alongside our drinks. Ending our evening with a little surprise desert! Overall, one of my favourite restaurants, food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing! Cocktails were unique and displayed with care. Highly recommend such a welcoming and atmospheric restaurant, thank you for having us!

The food was stunning & the service was great. Delicious cocktails and I had the best steak I’ve had in a long time!

I've been searching for a new favourite restaurant and this one tops the list so far. Both food and the service were excellent.

Went with The Boy and had a lovely graveyard shift (Sunday 3.45pm sitting) meal, so the place wasn't that busy. The tapas is great, and the mains are likewise. We split a fab Tomahawk (bone in ribeye). Service is attentive and well humoured. Had a great time. Have been before and will go again. One of the better (and sadly few) upmarket places in town.

Best food in Watford! And I mean that honestly, the food is incredible. Perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavours. Very accommodating for everyone from vegetarians to non-vegetarians. The sea bass and tofu yakisoba were some of our personal favourites when it comes to the mains. The starters and sides were all incredible, particularly the truffle mash. (The chips were just as good, they might seem like something easy to make, but they had the perfect crisp on the outside while still being fluffy and creamy on the inside). The owner was very nice and you can tell how passionate he is about the restaurant and the food from the way he handled staff to the way he treated customers. Oh and can’t forget the dessert, the basque cheesecake just melts in your mouth. Overall was an amazing experience! Hearing Japanese and Spanish fusion might sound crazy, but damn did they nail it perfectly! Thank you for having us, and for making the twins’ birthday a special experience! Will definitely be back! The only downside? There aren’t more locations haha, but maybe soon.

I had been meaning to try out this place for quite a few months. Finally got round to it and it didn’t disappoint! Service was polite and candid from the get go. All drinks, tapas and grills went down well - our favourite were the croquetas. Came here with the boys but would definitely come back for a date night with my partner, Fridays the have a DJ too. Nice eloquent addition to Watford.

Great host, great service and delicious food. Very attentive, and presented really well.

Visited 2 weeks ago for a date night and cannot fault this place… the service was top notch, the food was full of flavour - the level of detail they put into each recipe is dining at its finest - this place is truly a hidden gem - looking forward to my 2nd visit tonight!!!!

Such a nice experience, the waiter was lovely and the food was well cooked! Will be coming back. Cocktails were also really nice

Great meal out with the family, staff very attentive

The atmosphere was brilliant, great music. DJ was Fab! Food was nice too. Great place to celebrate my friends birthday.
